Loves to edit: Need a beta?

[Jackie]

Hi! I'm a real grammar freak. I love to edit stuff! Not just the grammar, but how it flows, alliteration, plotline, etc. (I woke up in the middle of last night and freaked out because I hadn't edited a mispelled word in one of the chapters I posted yesterday... I still haven't fixed it, and now I don't remember where it is...) I have beta-ed before for fanfics, so I have experience. I prefer to "teach" my... alpha(??) when it comes to common grammar mistakes I see throughout the piece(s).

And if you're in school, I'd be happy to read over your essays, too, - but I have to know about what it is you're talking. I never read 1984, and while I tested over it and passed without ever picking it up, I wouldn't be comfortable editing a paper about it. The Scarlet Letter or Of Mice and Men? Bring it on.

As far as fanfics go, I stick to GW. - Possibly crossovers if I know all the characters. I'd love to do Inuyasha, but I haven't seen the whole series, so I'd be lost. No lemons. - I mean, you can send them to me, but I won't read or edit that part. Same with lime, but only if it goes too far. I don't mind the whole, "She unbuttoned his pants" type deal, but once you go into body parts, I won't read any further. If you do send me citrus, don't expect me to give you any ideas of if it's good, bad, or needs improvement. Even though it's not allowed here, I'll say it anyway: no yaoi or yuri.

That's about it.

Heyy, I'm looking for a beta for a work-in-progress GW fic. It's my first one in a while so I need someone who'll help me out with the details, plot progression, keeping them relatively within character limits, etc. Pretty much someone who'll tell me everything that's wrong, then kick me in the butt to go fix it. If you're interested let me know... feel free to email or respond here.

Yup! I be interested. Send it to my real e-mail address: ultimatebandnerd@sbcglobal.net. Don't click on the e-mail button here; I won't get it then.

[Dizzy]

It'll be sent as soon as possible. Thanks!!

Any chance you might still be willing to beta...?

I just have occasional chapters to works in progress that might need to be beta'ed, mostly HxR, and there's the occasional oneshot. ^_^ I just need someone to go over the (many) grammatical and spelling errors I tend to miss and perhaps give constructive criticism... so yeah, if you're still willing, I'd love you forever. ^_^

[Jackie]

Yeah, sure, and Rose fixed my whole e-mail mess up, so you can just clicky the e-mail button. I'm pretty good about getting them back quickly, or so I've found out. Used to take me a couple days; now I usually get them back the day they're sent.

So, yeah! Go ahead and send it.

:-? And what are you doing up at 3 in the morning? I thought you were in college, too...?

[Caliborn]

I sent that message at -one- in the morning, I'll have you know!

And yes, college. Thus why I rarely get to bed before 12 these days... Anyway, I don't have anything completed just yet, but I'll give you a shout-out once I do. ^_^ *glomp* Thanks!

[Jackie]

Well, it says here that you posted at 3. :-? If I was to go to bed at 4:30, I'd wake up at 5 anyway. Blast time changes and my internal clock!

Okay; I'll be waiting.

[Caliborn]

We're on a different time schedule, silly. For example, it says you posted that last one at 11:00!

:-? Well, other forums I'm at have all the times "correct." Not exactly sure how that works, but it does.
