Beta Post

Whilst

omgleveragebb is the place to go for any and all support whilst you're writing your BigBang, I thought that it would be a good idea to have a centralised place to offer your beta skills/request a beta.

There'll be two comment threads to this post, so please check carefully before commenting to one. If you wish to offer your beta-ing skills, then the "Offering my skills as a beta" comment thread is the one for you. If you're looking for someone to beta your fic, then the "Help! I need a beta" comment thread is where you need to go.

I hope this is helpful to you all. I'll be linking to it in the sidebar and over at

omgleveragebb momentarily.

I am willing to beta but I leave this little disclaimer: English is not my first language and while I am fluent in it I wouldn't trust just me with checking over language and such. I will how ever look over plot and phrasing and also provide cheerleading.

I'm generally good at picking out typos and helping with awkward sentences- I can be more or less critical depending on how much beta involvement you want.

I would also be willing to give feedback/motivational speeches over AIM/MSN/yahoo/google if you'd like. :)

I'll be needing someone to hold my hand, kick my ass, check my words and tell me when I am off my rocker a bit too much.

Contact: Gmail - susanne.mt.johansson
Type of fic: AU with genetic modifications inflicted on main characters.
Genre: Gen with some slash and maybe even a treesome.
Timezone: CETS (but I am a night owl so someone in US is not a problem)

Name: Robin
Contact details (email address/IM handle etc.):robinyj69@yahoo.ca
Type of fic you're writing (AU/crossover etc.): Action/Adventure, Crossover
Genre of fic you're writing (slash/het/femslash/gen): Gen
Timezone: Atlantic (Canada)

Any other details you wish to give are up to you: I don't really need a lot of help to be honest, I proofread my stories over ridiculously so I catch my own typos and errors usually. I just need someone as a final beta and maybe to push me along as I sometimes lose steam trying to get the final chapters of a fic done. I'm most likely doing another Psych/Leverage crossover too, so familiarity with Psych would help.

Name: Squeakerblue
Contact details: Squeakerblue@yahoo.com (IM's the same)
Type of fic you're writing: Crossover with Angel
Genre of fic you're writing : Slash
Timezone: Central

My bunnies just stopped fighting, due to squishage by the big monster that wants me to write it. I mostly need a good beta who's willing to kick my ass into gear since we don't have much time...I know it's short notice, but i hope someone will be willing to help.

I'll be needing a beta. I have never worked with one so I'll need all the help I can get. ;-)

Type of fic willing to beta (AU/crossover etc.): Anything. Seriously. Unless I know absolutely NOTHING about one of the shows you're using in a crossover, there's nothing I won't read.
Genre of fic willing to beta (slash/het/femslash/gen): I read it all. Really.
Timezone: US Eastern Standard.

The IMPORTANT PART:
I'm a native born & bred Bostonian and I still live there. If you need very specific local level details, then I'm your girl. You're welcome to ask me to beta the entire story since I happen to be a good editor, but if you want me to just provide background material or some very specialized bit of Bostonian trivia, feel free to ask for only that!

On the basis of 'better late than never' I wanted to - finally - sign up and offer my services as a beta reader.
