Title: One Thing
Genre: RPS
Pairings or Characters: Jensen/Jared
Type of beta you'd like: Grammer/Spelling/Tense (i tend to switch tenses often, but am never sure how to fix it)
Length: 1847 word Stand alone
Short Summary: Jensen and Jared take a train down to Mexico during their summer vacation.
Author's Note: This is a song fic, which I do not ever write, and do not usually enjoy. However I was listening to a Steve Carlson CD, and this song, One Thing, came on, and suddenly I was halfway through the first page of this J2 fic.

If you're interested, comment to this post, and leave your email address, or email me your email address so that I can send you the story. Thank you so much in advance for your time, whoever is kind enough to help me out here :)

Title: 300 Seconds On The 13th Floor
Genre: Drama/Fluff//AU/RPS
Pairings or Characters: Jared and Jensen
Type of beta you'd like: I'm from Russia and this is my very first story written in English, so I'd like someone very patient to beta my story :) I need grammar/spelling check, and also it'd be a good bonus to talk to someone about the story and the plot.
Length: ~15,000 words
Short Summary: This is a very imaginary story, where Jensen has a "gift", that he thinks is a curse. He can "see" and feel others' people emotions and feelings, and he really can't stand to stay with more than one person in the same room. He's an artist and that's what he does for a living.
Jared is a pizza deliver guy and one day he goes to Jensen to deliver him his order. And what a surprise with Jared Jensen doesn't feel anything wrong.
The thing is, does Jensen really have this gift, or it's something else?

Thanks in advance :)

ETA: Thanks all! I've got a couple volunteers, so I'm set.

My big bang fic is just about done, but what I need is a couple extra eyes on top of my own and my betas to give it a test read and offer some feedback. I would need comments back by the 10th of this month as my post date is coming up really soon (July 28). Short notice, I know, but there have been a few delays along the way.

Title: The Truth I Seek
Genre: RPS, hurt!comfort, kidnap fic, non-con
Pairings: Jared/Jensen
Type of beta you'd like: plot, pacing, general feedback
Length: 32,575
Warnings: Explicit non-con and violence. Kidnap fic. The J's families (I know some people don't like fic that involves their families, so I felt I should warn for this).
Rating: NC-17

Short Summary: Jensen's life as he knows it is ripped apart at the seams with one brutal act of revenge. He is left struggling to put the pieces of himself back together while searching for a balance between who he was before and the man he is now. Jared is forced to watch from the sidelines as Jensen fights to overcome his personal demons while pushing those who love him most further and further away. Will Jensen find his way back to Jared, or will the trauma divide them for good?

One of the great things in fandom is the fact that it allow us to make friends.

As writers, it means getting a good cheerleader, a beta, someone to co-write with.
As a non-writer, it can mean getting faster access to fics and feeling like an integral part of the fandom.
For someone willing to beta, it means getting to put a small mark in someone else's work.
For an artist, it can mean getting ideas out of a story, food to fuel the muse. It means a better, healthier fandom.

This is the idea behind spnbuddies. Our goal is to match writers/artist/betas/buddies. We accept RPS, Gen, Het, Wincest, so come check us out, join the fun and make some new friends




A big thank you to the mods for allowing us to pimp this out!

I'm looking for one or two betas for two stories

Story one: (Stanford era)
Genre: Angst/Drama/case-fic
Story two:
Genre: More humourous aspects, Action, case-fic
Characters: Sam, Dean


Rating/Warning:
Both stories are strictly gen and never rated higher than pg-13 except for maybe some swearing and violence.

Needed:
Grammar, Language, characterization, maybe some plot devices, general handholding *blush*. Oh, and English is not my first language.. The stories aren't yet finished but I expect them to be around 15.000 until 20.000 words each. If you're interested I would gladly give you some more information.

Summaries:
I can't give away too much because I've been prompted anonymously and I don't want any of my writee's to stumble upon this request :-D


I'd be endlessly thankful for any help I can get. If you have any question, I could give some more informations via pm.

Thanks

Anja

Title: Is hated and thus not to be revealed.
Genre: RPS AU
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Type of beta you'd like: Uh. Quick?
Length: 44.5k
Short Summary: Jared and Jensen have massive UST which then turns into, uh. RST? (Or: Every year, Jensen spends spring break rehearsing and putting on a play with a performing arts group. This is his seventh and final year with the program, and performing the lead role opposite his best friend Chris might just be the highlight of his year—that is, until he arrives to find Chris missing in action, and some guy named Jared taking his place.)

Here's the deal. I am extraordinarily slow and therefore have just finished my edit of my big bang tonight. I need to have it completely ready to post by the time I go to sleep tomorrow. Which would be June 30th. I'm leaving on vacation early on the 1st, and I'll actually be away for my posting date.

I'm not looking for much, here. I know this is ridiculous. Typo checking would be awesome, overall impressions a bonus. I can email a .doc or a PDF.

Title: Lockdowns and Birthdays
Genre: Humor/Wincest
Pairings or Characters: Sam/Dean, Oblivious!john is oblivious...
Type of beta you'd like: Grammer/little tweeking to make it better and more intresting
Rating: r or nc-17, im not good with ratings
Warnings: I played with the age difference, Sam is 16 and Dean is 18.
Length: Stand-alone, word count 1,746
Short Summary: Sam's school goes on a lockdown on Sam's 16th birthday, triggering a memory. When Sam and Dean get home, Dean has presents for Sam.

I'm trying this again because I'm starting to freak out. It's for Big Bang, and I post on the 30th of July.

I'm not too sure what's going on with my beta, and I want to be covered just in case. I would be forever grateful (and you'd get a cool by-line in some art work...and virtual cookies!)

Title: Dying to Live
Genre: AU RPS
Pairings or Characters: Jared/Jensen - others from their universe
Type of beta you'd like: Mainly plot, but at this point anything!
Length: Will be about 25K
Warnings Character death - without the character dying in the story you know him in (it's a very minor part of it).

Short Summary: After an accident in San Antonio during July, 2005, Jared Padalecki finds himself waking up as a new Army recruit in a desert coastal town called Pine Gap in August, 1973. At first he thinks it’s all in his head and that he’s going completely crazy. But he soon figures out that he’s in a coma back in 2005; and he is determined to get home to where he feels that he belongs – and he will do whatever it takes. But 1973 leaves a strong impression on him, and when it comes down to it; mainly through the people he’s met, the betrayal and love he’s witnessed, he's not sure where he belongs after all.

Turnaround Time: I should be able to have this completed by the start of next weekend. I have it in six parts of somewhere between 3 and 4 thousand words each and part 1 is ready to go now, part 2 is almost there. I'd love everything to be done by 26th/27th July so I can fix it up and...post it *meep*

Title: The Trust Exercise
Summary: A simple exercise helps Sam and Dean begin to rebuild their trust in each other.
Characters: sam and Dean
Warning: Its super super cheesy.
Type of beta you'd like: grammar


Its complete. I already posted the fic in my journal earlier this month (is it okay to find a beta for a fic thats already posted??)
Im just getting into writing fics a friend of mine told me about betas (before i posted it) I know theres typos galore in it so if someone could take a look at it Id appreciate it.

Okay, so, my original beta has bailed on me with 22 days or so until I have to post (I'm posting July 17th). Is there anyone here that could beta my fic for me? You'd recieve endless devotion and love and a fic written if you wanted in return. ;)

Title: See: Life
Genre/warnings: RPS, AU, angst, substance abuse, violence, attempted suicide
Pairings or Characters: Jared/Jensen
Type of beta you'd like: grammar and plot :)
Length: Long, roughly 40K at the moment.
Short Summary: At the orders of his psychiatrist, Jensen is sent out to live with his aunt in the easy country to ease the pain of his past. Complete with Bipolar Disorder, a questionable love of psychedelics, a horrible past and a strange fear/infatuation with them – Jensen is the only one that thinks he has himself figured out. But when he meets Jared, a boy with startling jackal eyes, they tell each other about their true selves through their journal entries, photographs and memories, learning things about one another no one else knows, such as scarred palms, bad ideas and unforgotten games of Russian Roulette.
Turnaround Time: By July 10th or so?

I just got into fic writing and I need a beta for my Go Ask Sam series.

Title: Go Ask Sam
Type of beta you'd like: grammar,spelling, (inner) sam-voice
Summary: journal entry written by an unsteady Sam starting after Dean's return from hell.

This is a WIP it will probably end up being a series of 15 or so entries . Most entries are one or two paragraphs and some may be only a few sentences.
U wouldn't have to be my beta for the whole series but it would be nice to have one for the whole thing. Im on entry #3 but Ive already posted #1 so only #2 and #3 need to be looked at at the moment.

thanks in advance.

Title: The True Story of the New World
Genre: Wincest, Hurt/Comfort, Drama
Pairings or Characters: Sam/Dean with appearances by Bobby, Ellen, Jo, and a cast of OCs and random supernatural beings
Type of beta you'd like: At the moment, I'd really love to have someone to work out ideas with as I've not written a fic of this type before. I'd also like a bit of help with my Sam voice.
Length: It's currently at almost 6, 000 words, but I'm estimating it'll be a little over 10, 000 when I'm done.
Short Summary: Over at whenthewarsover, I took this prompt: The apocalypse is over. Sam writes it all down, and the result tops the New York Times bestseller list for an entire year. Dean loves that Sam's found something to do with his life, but doesn't know how he fits in. And then he reads Sam's controversial second novel.

Title: What now, Sam?
Genre: Drama, mostly
Pairings or Characters: Dean and Sam, but no as pairing
Type of beta you'd like: Grammar, Spelling, Plot, mainly someone who can look at both the language part and the show-part. I mean, if the characters are faithful to the original characters, for example.
Length: One-shot, although I have 1266 words by now.
Short Summary: Set post Lucifer Rising. Sam and Dean try to apologize to each other. The key word being try.

It may have some grammar mistakes, as English is not my mother tongue and I tend to makes some of these mistakes by accident. I also hate the way the story is going... I really, really need someone that helps me to get a direction.
Please comment this entry if you're interested and I'll give you my e-mail so we can talk ;)

This is not my usual beta's cuppa so...

Title: Midnight Run
Genre:Drama/Het/wing!fic
Pairings or Characters: Dean/Jo (I know. Surprises even me)
Type of beta you'd like: Grammar/spelling. This one doesn't have much plot or dialogue, but I'm open to any suggestions.
Length: Stand-alone...but also part of a larger series. Estimated word count: 1000-1500)
Short Summary: I'm writing a series where Dean manifests wings. The main part of the series in plotty and gen, but I have a subplot in the series, almost separate, that is het. This fic is where Dean and Jo have a rendevous. Wing!kink, but nothing too sexually graphic. It's not my style.

Also, don't feel like you'd be obligated for the whole series. I am looking for a beta for this fic, but I wouldn't turn anyone away who would be interested in other parts of the series.

My usual beta hasn't seen up to the season finale yet, so I was wondering if anyone was available to look over something for me.

Title: Absolution
Genre: Gen, character piece,
Pairings or Characters: Sam focused, Castiel and small amounts of Dean, no pairings
Type of beta you'd like: A bit of everything would be good, but focus on Sam-voice (which I'm never too sure about) Castiel and the overall flow of the fic. Possibly also americanisms, I haven't noticed any but (as I'm British) it could be a help.
Length: Stand-alone 2062 words
Short Summary: Sam asks Castiel to try and clean the demon blood out of his body, things don't go quite as he hoped.

Thanks!

Title: Hurting Me Softly
Genre:Het NC-17 (graphic sex)

Hey, guys! I'm looking for a beta for my Big Bang fic that's due by the end of this month. I'm still in the middle of editing it, but I should have it ready for beta work in a few days.

Title: Like Tipping an Hourglass
Genre: SPN RPS AU, angst/drama/romance
Pairings or Characters: J2, Jensen/Steve Carlson (past tense)
Type of beta you'd like: (grammar/spelling/plot/canon/Dean-voice, etc…) Well, I'd love it if you could check it for grammar and spelling but those are not my biggest problem areas so it'd be more important if you could just concentrate more on the plot and the general flow, dialogue, etc. The story takes place in a Californian hospital so someone who's good with Americanisms and/or medical jargon would be a dream come true. Needless to say, this doesn't all have to fall on just one person: if you're interested in simply betaing for grammar and spelling, or if you'd like to help out with the Americanisms or medical aspects but not pay attention to the grammar or plot, that is more than okay.
Length: 22,000 words at the moment, shouldn't be more than 23k by the time I'm finished editing it.
Short Summary: Working at the hospital ER can be stressful. Patients are being wheeled in left and right, the hours are long and the coffee is stale. Still, Jared Padalecki is a doctor who enjoys his job. He even enjoys spending time with his sometimes annoying coworkers, even if they tease him about his crush on a certain physical therapist called Jensen Ackles, who just happens to work at the same hospital. Jensen is a guy who likes to keep his personal life private, but that's okay because Jared's pretty sure Jensen isn't even gay, and being friends with him is more than enough. But what happens when one day the patient you are treating turns out to be the boyfriend of your not-so-secret crush?
Turnaround Time: I could send you the finished version by the end of this week, probably by Friday. I'm going to need it back as soon as possible, or at least by June 27th, so I'm looking for someone who works fast. :)

Thanks in advance! ♥

Title: Rara Avis
Genre: Action/Humor/Drama/Het
Pairings/Characters: Dean/Chris, Sam/Lissa
Type of Beta: Grammar/Plot
Length: 2,474 words
Summary: This takes place in azephirin's Charleston'verse, so a familiarity with that is a plus. There's a firebird in Baba's garden, a thing that seems incidental only until it becomes very important.
Turnaround time: A week.

Many thanks in advance!
