Help me! ::grovel grovel::

Advertise your services as a betareader, or beg for a new one here. If you're advertising, make sure to mention what sort of fics you're willing to read, and if you're begging - grovel hard. :)

Help me! ::grovel grovel::

Post by AngelOfDeath »

I have been thinking about getting a beta reader for some time, and judging from all the casual mistakes I have been making I think that the time has finally come!

Unfortunately, there is maybe, oh I don't know, five or six stories from various animes that I have written fanfics for and I want someone to go over all of them so that I can rework problems. (They are all comedy or drama and all of them are romance.)

I'm not a good editor for myself, so I never go over what I write after I have written it. So, though mechanics of writing are not entirely unknown to me, there is much to be done to these poor stories of mine.

So... anyone want to help poor little me? ::looks around with wide eyes::

Currently Gundam Wing is my fic project anime of choice.

The completed ones are from Card Captor Sakura and Rurouni Kenshin.

The RK ones are alt pairings (and I know many people have objections to that). All Kaoru/Enishi. I have not gotten around to writing the K/K fic I wanted to make, but there may be one in the near future.

(And there is one Harry Potter fic that I wrote... but I don't expect you to want to look at that..... it's just also in need of editing)

Still interested?

I'd go for Gundam and RK.

Not too fond of Kaoru and Enishi. BUt I can put that aside. Besides people who only like cannon matches are unimaginative, and in the case of Ranma and Akane insane.

Well, how does one traditionally send stuff to their beta? I'm new to all this...

Perhaps an email? I can manage that easily enough, though it would be in the email as I don't have the documents with me, but can access the text itself.

If you ever need another looksie... I do like Kaoru/Einishi and I've seen some of (and love) CCS.

I'm swamped at the moment with the contest stuff, and I do beta here and there for others as well. But like I said, if you're ever in a bind, I'm always around.

And yes, typically authors send fics to their betas via email. Or through the file transfer function on a chat program. Basically, however it's convenient for you.

;)

Love,
