Ok, i know that between real life and seasonal fics most of you are very busy, but I've finally decide to stop ragging people about their work and cross the writer/reader line... but after a couple of weeks of writing, rewriting and chain smoking until the wee hours of morning I've accepted defeat: i need a fresh, objective pair of eyes to try and make sense of my ramblings... Anyone up for it? Of course, I'm more than willing to wait as long as necessary for the story to be returned, I'll consider myself lucky to get any kind of help; by now i don't trust myself to use the spell checker  Big thanks in advance to everyone! |

I’m afraid I can’t offer anything helpful beta-like seeing how I need one myself, just wanted to throw in my senseless, excited yay!!! ;D (Hope you’ll post in the end, new fic, new fic, new fic  ) |

Feel free to wait & see if you get a better offer -- would not offend me in the least -- but if you're interested in such a lame excuse for a beta, let me know! (PS: on the run at the moment but hope to get back in a little bit to roll around in all the cool fic discussion!! ;D ;D ;D ;D) |

I couldn't find a smiley that did justice to my reaction at the moment, so you'll have to believe me when i say I'm jumping up and down and squealing like a Japanese schoolgirl ;D ;D As i said, I'm more than willing to wait as long as necessary for my beta-to-be (that's you ;D) to get back to me, I'm really at my wit's end... I'll PM you the text in the morning, I'm not at home right now but i just couldn't wait ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D THANK YOU!!!!!! |

Will be fun! Love fic... love new fic writers! Woo-hoo! |

You must have confused me with someone who can send things back in the same decade  (but thanks for the vote of confidence...  ) At lease a certain young main character & I spent some quality time this evening, so maybe soon...? ;D ;D |

At lease a certain young main character & I spent some quality time this evening, so maybe soon...? ;D ;D And you shouldn’t have squeezed them into your 21-hour day! Which I guess is the only way you can do betaing, but still… Of course the certain two main characters (so not sure whether we are talking about the same thing) would want to stand back to see new fic getting that special polish… ;D (Seriously - and I have been thinking of this before this thread - with my two Christmas stories people will have enough of me anyway – very unlike with new herumor fic ;D) time-impairing marzipan again! You should be eating it then. ;D Magic, fic-time-loop creating almond-tasty… |

Yeah, and it's a good one, but for someone new to the board or otherwise not inclined to wade through all the threads for the right topic, "Beta Reader and Writers" could sound like a gathering place for established folk only -- but there's no doubt about what "Beta Search" is about! Hey, no extra charge for another thread, is there? If it's free -- the more the merrier!  |
