Willing to beta! :D

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. :)

Willing to beta! :D

Post by Vampiric »

I can promise only that I'll try my best. But, despite my lack of education (I'm only a highschool freshman ^^; ) I think I'm pretty good at puzzling out grammar and making sure that everything flows and makes sense. Sheez, if I won't write my own things, why not help others improve their writing?

I'm not really into betaing lemon. :/ Sorry. Every now and then I'll read a lemon, but it's really not my thing.

I'm always into reading new things, but I'm more likely to beta fics from series I'm even remotely interested in. Full Metal Panic, Gundam Wing, Inuyasha, Kenshin, etc. etc. Just give me a PM and I'll see what I can do.

I've written the first chapter of my first fic (I suppose everyone has to start somewhere). Would you be willing to beta read it for me. It's the beginning of an Rx1 fic (non-lemon). I'm mostly just looking for weather the reader will keel over dead after reading it. ( [please use sarcastic voice here] it being so bad and all :cry:). Anywhy, I really would be greatful if you would just look it over.

And don't worry about your grade, I know you were at least half kidding, but I'm a and I trust that you probably know more than I do. O well.

Sorry about the lack of response-- I haven't been on BI lately- but of course I'll beta your 1xR fic! Not much of a fan, but that's probably because I've never really read them. I'm already waiting for one to be sent my way, so if you want to go ahead and email it, my email address is princesschibichan@hotmail.com.

It would be better if it was an attatched document- .txt or .doc- as Hotmail likes to take simple things like apostraphes and turn them into complicated strings of characters. Like &iudn or something. -_-'

I'm really sorry if I'm missjudging the delay and I'm aware that if I am that this post will sound like it is comeing from an impatiant, rude, person. But, did I not send you my story. I thought that I did but I might have gotten the wrong address. I'm sorry if I'm being impatiant, I do know how long it can take to beta read something. Well now that I'm done appologizing I'll go and crawl back into my hole.

Ahh! I'm sosososososo sorry, and you don't need to feel bad about being impatient--it's my fault! I think I started to beta your fic but then I got caught up in other things and kind of.. forgot about it. T_T;

..I'm a bad beta. -whacks- Maybe I should give it up.

Dont worry about it, to be honest I really have not thought about it for a while, I've been too busy beta reading a friend's (off computer, he goes to my school) FMP fanfic to give any of my own any thought what so ever. I must say I have a new appreciation for Beta readers for all of the work they have to go through. So take all the time you need with that one. :D

Yeah. I'll have to get yours and Cleo's done as soon as I get finished with all my schoolwork.. at LEAST by the first week of June (okay, I know that's a long time but May is the last month of school and I'm swamped.)

If I don't then.. arrgh.. stalk me or something. T_T..

Well........ I think stalking is out of the question, would you settle for being hit on the top of the head with a shovel?

As I said previously, I haven't even looked at the fic since I sent it to you. I think I might look it over myself and send you another copy. (I've recently gotten alot better at writting, nothing like trying to wade through someone elses writting to make you understand it better yourself.) If I send you another copy it will be there before the 10th.
