Beta post 2011

[weaselett.livejournal.com]

There are two comment threads to this post. One is for offering up your skills as a beta, the other is for asking for a beta.

The opening comments of each thread show you the basic format to use when requesting or offering.

If you are willing to beta this year, please comment in the appropriate thread (and if you need one, check the offering thread to see if there is anyone who has already said they will beta before posting a request).

Thanks :)

Summary of your fic: Genre would be general/angst/romance. Might push into "M" territory, I'm not sure yet. Word count might be around 20,000. I'll have a better idea after I outline and get started.
Type of Beta you are looking for: I really need someone to look for characterization and continuity along with story flow. I also need someone who can catch minor grammatical errors that I'll miss. I always edit my own work before letting anyone see it.

Summary of your fic: A crossover with Battle Royale/The Hunger Games/The Codemned. Criminals are sent to an island to battle to the death - if one person survives, they get all their crimes pardoned. The Leverage crew are caught and sent to the Death Island. Some Sophie/Nate and Hardison/Parker.
Type of Beta you are looking for: Characterization, spelling/grammar, continuity, all of it. Oh, and ideally, American-picking (like Brit-picking but in reverse.)
