... well Ghetto, regardless of tasteless humor, - you better snap up her beta services while you have the chance. I'm out of work for her right now, but not for long

If there is someway to get those who signed up in the BETA pool topic to look for those with requests in this topic i think we might have some luck matching BETA's to stories. I was looking at the BETA pool and there are a lot that have asked to read stories but it seems like there isn't communication with this topic.
Any thoughts?

Well, I am in the beta pool and keep an eye on this thread. Since the karol asked the interested beta to send her an e-mail, I don't know if anyone replied.

I think it's just a personal responsibility thing. Kind of like your newspaper's want-ads: those looking for something go there to find it. If a beta is looking for work, they can be checking this thread and others; if someone is looking for a beta, they can check the pool or start their own thread ... I don't think it needs to be more active than that.
Problem is, most folks just charge right in and set up a new thread instead of looking to see if what they need is already out there.

I haven't seen AngmarianRose online in awhile, so she may not have responded yet. I actually a couple of things backed up right now but may be able to help a little. If someone else can go over the techi stuff with Karol, spelling and commas and such, [which I'm no good at] I'll be happy to work over characterization and plotting issues on a second draft.

Hi, I'm someone who enjoy to write and I have two stories that are already finished and I would like some beta on them. I notice you: they are in French because I'm a French-Canadian an not an Enlish one, having it only as my second language. I saw that is obligatoire to be beta before to post anything on that site. Oh! And if you don't want my French's one, I have one in English that is already finish too. So, in resume, I would just like a beta on it because I already did spellcheck on them three. Just tell me if you can or not. Thanks in advance.

Hi Isadora22,
I'm not sure if you're asking me or Rhaps or AngmarianRose for help.
Sadly, I don't believe I could help you a great deal right now as grammar isn't my strong point and I think you would be better served by someone who could help you along those lines. You're using some word choices that seem odd to me, I'm not sure I completely understand your posts so I don't know that we could work well together.
If someone else can help you with those elements, I'd be glad to help you out (as much as I can) with plotting or characterization.
Becky

I was just telling you that I have one story in English that is completed such a long time ago and I would like to have beta on it. I don't know if it's ok with the guidelines that are there. If another person can check it for grammar, it will ok too.

Again, it would be helpful, Isadora, if you told us a little about the story you are writing.
For example, I have never read the Silmarillion. If your story is heavy on Silmarillion canon, I'm not the reader for you.
If you give us an idea of what you need, the right person will be better able to volunteer.
You might also search the internet for a French/English English/French online dictionary. That would save you having to use the forum to ask vocabulary questions.

Ok, for English/French French/English dictionnary on the web, I have one or two. For my new story, it's not heavy with the Silmarillion because me either, I never read it. It's more concentrated on LOTR ifself. I will resume you a bit my new story. It starts with a young 22 years old woman who is attracted by a weird thunderstorm from years 2006 to year 3017 TA of Middle Earth into Bree's region. Nazgûls are both searching for her and the Ring-bearer. She met Strider, Frodo and his three friends into the Prancing Pony inn and more explanations about Middle-Earth is a bit explain to her by them. They heard a mysterious voice that is not louder than a whisper into the wind and things that are not supposed to happened are happening. Nothing goes well for the young woman... and for the Compagny herself at weathertop. There's more than a mystery into the air and nobody has the answers about what is happening... except Gandalf and Saûron.
I hope that this will help you to see how things are going. I just have the prologue and the first chapter already written.
I don't have any spelling writting problems. I would like a beta for structures and other grammar parts. I hope that will help you to know which services to give to me for a beta reading. If you need my file, just pm me to say it to me or send a e-mail to let me know if I can send my file. This is for any person who are beta readers and can do the job that is resquested. Thanks in advance.
I re-write the prologue, having been told that I was into a Mary-Sue stuff. Now, I think I'm right because I completely changed my main ideas. I will need one day another beta reading but not for now. I have first to deal with my story and with what I know about my characters. Thanks to Rhapsody who gave me beta reading services. It was very appreciated.
