I've been lurking on this archive for a while now and since I'm working on my first LOTR I thought I'll come and look for a beta.
It's an AU story having one character going back to ME after years spent in our world, and another character ending up in Rivendell and finding a new life there. For the time being I have something like 12-13 pages done.
So if you have some spare time on your hands, do not mind AU, an OFC meeting the lord of Imladris and can bare with my non-native speaker mistakes....let me know!
Ciao! |

Hmmm. I'm interested, and can catch most grammar mistakes as a native English speaker who listens too much to her English teachers.  . I'm warning you though - I am not a canon nazi, and am not terribly good at sorting out OOCness, though I can do my best.
How detailed a betaing do you want - just grammar and spelling issues, or the "deep massage" beta? I'd be happy to do either.
I think it only fair to admit that I am not terribly experienced. However, I enjoy editing. Twelve pages may take me a while, but once it's done, you should recieve it ASAP - I'm constantly on my email, and so am pretty easy to contact. If you send it to me, I'll let you know if I've got it and how long it may take. (I have commitments, so this may vary... LOL.)

Meet BB the canon nazi!  I will be happy to assist with plot/characterization/psychoanalytical stufffs...
I have references! Though probably not good ones... Sind likes me though
Wait --- this is not Hobbits right? Hobbits = BAD
Anything else, I'm ok.

Am a bit scared about the canon nazi thing  but I think I'll dare send you my story, although I have to warn you it is AU and it might not exactly stick to the canon all the time.
But hey...no hobbits in there. 
I have something like 20 pages done for the moment and probably 2 more chapters to finish. Still wanna give it a try? |

You are so pathetic BB. It is okay to like Hobbit boys. Some folks actually like a little bit of body hair on their men
