 |
|
I wanted to steal Nancy's idea and start a beta pool for the new categories. This way we will know which new categories all the wonderful betas on this site would be willing to read for.
I myself haven't ever really betaed anything before, but I've read the Harry Potter books about seven times each, so I could probably help with canon on that a bit.
Now, I'll turn it over to all the truly wonderful betas out there.

I actually really just wanted to borrow the idea! If you are willing to beta for any of the new TV/Movie categories perhaps you could reply with what category you would be willing to beta for and what kind of fics you prefer to beta in that particular category. For ideas on what I'm talking about see the Tolkein beta pool started by Nancy.
Thanks all,
Eiranae |

Hi everyone! I'm happy to help out as a beta for Star Trek stories. ^_^

I can do "Angel", "Buffy" and "Serenity/Firefly." NC-17 no problem.

Sampling of what I can beta:
Movies-
Almost any Karl Urban film. (Obsessed? ME? Never!) I'm actually writing my own "Ghost Ship" fic, so if anyone else enjoyed it and would be willing to give it a look through, please let me know.
Harry Potter (Read all the books, though I've not seen the most recent film).
Pirates of the Caribbean (through Dead Man's Chest).
Star Wars (Movies ONLY).
X-Men (1 through 3).
Spiderman (1 through 2, 3's not out yet).
Batman
The Matrix
TV-
Xena
Hercules/Young Hercules
Buffy
Angel
LOST
Numb3rs
Ghost Whisperer
Firefly/Serenity
If it's not listed here but you think it might be something I've seen/read, just ask.
I'll beta any rating, but please warn me beforehand if there's non-con/sexual violence. I'm good at general grammar/mechanics, character development and plotting. Brit-picking isn't my strong point. Also, please follow site guidelines (no sex with children under 15, no animal/human pairings, no slash, etc.).
Please run spelling and grammar check before you send it. Also, there's a wonderful article by Rhapsody here which explains what a beta is and isn't supposed to do, as well as what a good author will do while working with or requesting a beta. I recommend reading it whether you write, edit or both to ensure that both parties in a writing relationship are clear on what is expected of them.
Also, when contacting me for beta work, please include accurate information about the story. Suggestions: pairings/main characters, fandom, time period, length of the story, status (finished or on-going), the sort of help you think you need (such as grammar/mechanics, ESL assistance, canon checking, character development). Thank you.

Hi, I might as well throw myself into the pool!
I can beta Narnia to a ridiculously close amount of detail, as well as this, I can beta:
-Pirates of the Caribbean
-Firefly
-King Arthur (I think this is in the sub categories)
So feel free to chuck stories my way |
