If anyone's still looking for a beta...

Postby ExtraFlamey » Wed Jul 13, 2011 3:21 pm

Just to say, I'll have a go.

I'm English (well, Scots/ Irish, actually) of an age to have gone to school when subjects like grammar, spelling and punctuation were still considered important, and have written bits and pieces all my life. (Nothing for here, though - yet, anyway.) I can help with Britishness until it comes out of my ears. I've done beta-ing as well, and have discovered (the hard way) the difference between being of assistance, and trying to rewrite the story my way. More difficult than you might think.

Avid Buffy fan, up to the last 20 minutes of SR, anyway. Strongly believe in the validity of the Dead/Evil Lesbian Cliché, and the fact that certain producers/writers/creators lost the plot completely at the end of S6. S7 was just painful to watch, (there isn't a hell dimension deep enough for slayers whose names begin with K) and don't get me started on S8. It would have been so easy to get right, too...

Oh, and I only do happy endings. So this is definitely the right place to be, yes?! :)

PM me or just post here, if that's OK

If you're still avaiIable I would be so interested on your offer.
I mean, I have lots and lots of ideas for fics and such but need badly someone for corrections and such.
English is not my first languaje and I tend to mess big time.
Also need a beta to remind me of continuing the story if there's feedback zero and I get depressed about no one reading it.
I won't mind you giving tips or advice about the story either, plus the normal assisstance.
So, if that's the case, please contact me and we could talk about it
Thank you so much in advance

Well, as both of my regular writers are either suffering from block, or tied up with exams and things, if anyone else needs a beta...?

You can see some of the final product that I've been involved in (only as a smoother - all the ideas and real credit go to the authors) at these two threads:

I am in desperate need of a beta! I'm in the middle of writing three different stories...and I have completely tied myself up lol. I've had severe writer's block for about a year now, and I have finally gotten rid of it, for the most part. But I need some help.

So...Can you help me?? Please??!
