Offering Beta

[such_heights]

*waves* Hi folks. I have a respite from the tyranny of academics midway through this week, so would be happy to offer beta-ing services any time after Wednesday.

(strengths: Britpicking, characterisation, style and structure, spelling and grammar.)

Hi, just thought I'd ask as you were very helpful last year! I'm probably not going to need a beta til December (I'm working towards the second deadline) would you still be available to have a look at mine then?

Re: Offering Beta

I'd love to have my fic beta-read, if you're still up for it?

[wopt70.livejournal.com]

hey
i know this is super belated, but is there anyway you could beta my fic before monday? I've totally been slacking on my fic and didn't have it done until yesterday. I know its late... but I need a beta!

sorry

I'd be happy to do a quick beta of someone's fic. :D

[blackliquorice.livejournal.com]

Hi, there.
Still able to have a look at a fic, by chance?

[fullmoon-dreams.livejournal.com]

My grammar isn't the best there is, but I find myself with a lot of free time for the rest of the year, so can promise a pretty fast beta service for anyone who is looking for a last-minute beta.

[leafyaki.livejournal.com]

Hi there! Do you mind if I book you for the first week of December? I'm afraid I'll be busy with exams till Dec 1 but I'll try my best to get it done by Dec 2! Aiming for the Dec 7 deadline :D I need the most help with Britpick and characterisation (:

Thanks in advance if you're ok with it!

Would you be up for beta-ing my second fic? It's about 2000 words & NC-17 (although only briefly) & the fic is due on the 30th.

[aras-fixation.livejournal.com]

I'm in need for a beta, myself, rather desperately at the moment. Since I'm not native speaker of English.

[laroseminuit.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to beta for you, if you'd give mine a run-through. I'm not too much in need of grammar help, but I'd love someone to just give general comments.

[molsymo.livejournal.com]

Hi, are you still in need of a beta? I just need a run through with mine if you'd be willing, I'm pretty confident with my grammar. I'd be able to britpick too, if that's a concern.

[westwardlee.livejournal.com]

I can beta-read - my strengths are probably spelling, grammar and context. Not too great with punctuation.

[silver-apples.livejournal.com]

Hi. I could use a beta. My story should hopefully be finished by tonight.

[beeinmybonnet.livejournal.com]

I am one of those in need of a beta. I have not yet finished my fic as I'm writing this, but I have all of it planned out and half of it is already written, so in a few days I ought to be finished unless real life decides to screw me over, again.

What I am in great need of is help with grammar, sentence-structure and Brit-picking, seeing I am not a native speaker. Any other sort of beta is of course very much appreciated, but these three are my biggest flaws, I think.

[sugaredarsenic.livejournal.com]

I'm quite free right now, so I don't mind helping out. You can email me at sugaredarsenic AT hotmail.com

[theatresweety.livejournal.com]

I'm willing to do a little beta work. I don't have a lot of time, but... a story or two. My strengths are spelling, grammar, characterization, and I'm all right with britpicking. Send me a message if you need my help.

[aras-fixation.livejournal.com]

Spelling and grammar sound good. I have about 2100 words to beta. Can I send it to you say on Wednesday? I need to make one last proofreading of it.

[lupinlicious.livejournal.com]

I'm going to be in need of a beta some time next week (possibly during the middle), since I'm not yet finished (I got inspiration for a different story and just...forgot D:).

Also, I am willing to beta someone else's if they need it. I'm pretty good at anything except Brit-picking.

[sockofnether.livejournal.com]

Hey, if you haven't already found a beta, I'd be willing to give you a hand with it! :]

[lovelylytton.livejournal.com]

I would be more than willing to beta-read someone's entry, just let me know if you need me.

[sugaredarsenic.livejournal.com]

Hi, may I take you up on your offer? My fic will be done (hopefully!) by today.

[crypticmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm one of those in need of a beta. :3

I'm not done yet, but I just need someone who can help me with britpicking. :D

[molsymo.livejournal.com]

would you be up for a swap? i just want mine looked over for flow and the ending. i live in london, will probably be able to help with britpicking..

Help!

[remuslives23.livejournal.com]

I'm new to LJ and to small gifts this year. I have had my fic looked over by a friend from FF.net who unofficially Beta checks my fics but would like it looked over by someone familiar with this site and the requirements as well. If anyone could help out, I'd appreciate it - and any help actually uploading the darn thing would be greatly appreciated too! :)

Re: Help!

[werewolfsfan.livejournal.com]

I can beta but I won't be of any help with uploading! I have trouble posting on LJ. I noticed for instance that I have trouble posting to ff.net or LJ if my msn hotmail is open! When I close that or click to another site, the problem is usually resolved!
anyway my email is colleensweeney (at) msn (dot) com

[captainpookey.livejournal.com]

Hello! My usual beta's a bit overwhelmed this week and it looks like I'm going to need someone to have a peek at my fic. I'm finishing it up right now and it looks like it will clock in about 2,000 words.

I mostly just need someone to look over my grammar and general structure.

I would be more than willing to swap fics. I'm pretty decent about picking up grammar mistakes and helping with flow/structure, but I fail as britpicking, being American and all. ;] Message me if your interested--I need to aim for the October 30th deadline, but preferably sooner because I have to work on college applications this week and will be a bit busy.

[captainpookey.livejournal.com]

Apparently I fail at grammar tonight, or at least in that post, anyway. Sorry.

[gollisd.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm going to need a beta, also, I am willing to look over someone else's work.

[mindabbles.livejournal.com]

If you still need someone, you could send it to me. mindabbles@gmail.com.

in need of a beta, please!

[crooked.livejournal.com]

hello, all. i am terrible at doing things efficiently, so that's why i'm looking for a beta at the last[-ish] minute. i have just now finished my story, so i was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind giving my fic a read-through before the November 30th deadline?

it's ~2600 words and my third incarnation of this fic so please don't tell me how awful it actually is, rated PG-13. any takers? :D

[i posted the request on my flist, but i thought it wouldn't hurt to ask here. you know, just in case they're all tired of me by now. ;P]

Re: in need of a beta, please!

[chrliii.livejournal.com]

I would be happy to beta your fic for you! Just send it to me at flocon_de_neige88 @ hotmail.com whenever you want. :)
