Beta Post

[charlies_dragon]

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. :)
