I noticed that Queen of Angst had previously started a beta thread on DAR and I thought that perhaps there might be people here who might want their fanfic(s) to be betaed or people who may be interested in being a beta reader. I like Queen of Angst's thread title, so I'm going to keep it here.

Ohh, yeah! Beta readers are a really great idea... There are way too many unreadable stories out there... Such a shame for the Dark Angel fandom

Queen of Angst added this to the original Beta Readers and Writers Connection thread and I think that this should be added here as well. -If you want to be a beta reader you can PM me or post here -If you need something beta-read you can either contact the people on the list or you can just post and ask or either send the story through PM or e-mail.

This thread can also be used for fanfic discussion(s) if anyone is interested in that, I forgot to add that previously.

Alright.. I'd like to try beta-ing. Just hit me up with a fic. I'll check this thread as often as possible.

Since this thread is also a fanfic discussion thread, I wondered what other fanfic readers would like to see in fanfics, other than M/L of course. As both a fanfic writer and reader I was curious as to what others people would like to see in fanfics.

I am having trouble in trying to keep the X-5's minus Zack and Brin in character, I want to try and incorporate them into a fic, but, I want them to come across as being both authentic and as in character as possible. If anyone has any suggestions on this topic, please feel free to leave suggestions for me here.

I can give you an opinion from one fan that wishes there were more stories about X5's. I have no idea about Jondy because we saw her once or twice and heard her say one word. "Max." I feel that I know Jondy from SuperBlonde's two stories, which I liked a lot. I actually feel that I know Zane more than Jondy from the show. We never saw him but we heard about him from Zack. We did see Syl and Krit in my favorite ep. I liked them a lot and looked forward to seeing more of them in season 2. You can always watch AJBAC several times, one right after the other, to get their flavor. I don't like any of the X5's being in love with each other and god forbid having sex. But there was one long fic I liked even tho the X's were plunked in bed together. So? Start writing your outline now, ML Fan, so your Beta can read it and inspire you.

Thanks for your suggestions, Aerie. I'll definitely go reread SuperBlonde's fics and rewatch AJBAC, if anyone else has any further fanfic suggestions for X-5's or any further general suggestions, please feel free to post your thoughts here.

About the other X5s, so true we know next to nothin bout them, granted I've never read any fics bout them either, except that 1 bout Brin done by SuperBlonde, & Syl done by Star24; both of which I really enjoyed! I'd think it be near impossible to wright accurately bout characters you saw 1 or twice or never saw & only heard a few sentences bout. Then again would'nt that play in the writers favor, cause since we know so little of them anyway, the writers can just take what they do know & build off of that; the readers would be none the wiser.

I'd love to hear how Max hooked up with her Baby. The books mentioned her bein with the Chinese Clan, but she already had the bike, so I don't know if it was a gift from Moody or if she just swiped it from the showroom floor. That would be really cool if somebody came up with a good story for this. Cause I remember Max not bein able to maintain her cool till her Baby was safely back in her care. A great line retorted exasperatingly by Max: "It's not just a machine! It's an extension of my soul! If there is such a thing!" Aaawwhh...Max is just great! There will never be another like her.

I also think that a fic about how Max got her baby would be interesting. One fic that I enjoyed that dealt with this aspect of Max's life well is "Reaching For The Moon" by Peking Noodle.
