I need a beta DESPERATELY. I'm writing a series of Supernatural fanfics for my Year 10 MYP IB Personal Project, and I need a beta because this is counting towards my SACE, and I CANNOT afford to screw up. If there is anyone out there who can help me, please PM me ASAP!

I need a beta for a Sweeney Todd story ... it's mostly keeping characters IN character while adding my own little twist.

Since this story is going to have every spoiler in the book in the beginning, I would prefer it if said beta has seen the movie ...

My plot is already explained in the 'Do I Dare' forum, though, I'll post it in short terms:

Basically, three kids (Not Mary/Gary Stus, not self-inserts) arrive at Fleet Street after they roleplay the story for a while.

They all become the characters they were playing; Lucy (OC), for example, became Mrs. Lovett. Here's the kicker:

The original character's emotions overpower their own, except in times they were near their fears and/or near death. So, Mrs. Lovett STILL screws up. The plotline of the actual movie is hardly messed with.

Chole needs to find a way to get them all home, even when one of them refuses.

There are a couple of holes I need help with, but overall, I have it figured out.

If you're interested, please send me a PM. ^_^ Thank you!

I need a beta that'd be willing to look over my one-shots. Mostly for grammar like tenses, and in character. Most of the one-shots now are Prince of Tennis ones, and maybe some Tales of the Abyss or Naruto if I ever get into that again. Or any of the fandoms that I write in. Most of it is in the Anime category.

I've put myself out there as a beta, but here's just another post recommending myself ;) :

I've beta-read for nine people formally. I'm an ongoing beta for two people currently, but if you ask MJ to recommend me, she might tell you I suck so she can keep me to herself. ;)

I'm a General beta reader - I have no preferences, and will research fandoms I am not familiar with. For a full list of where I am better acquainted, see my beta profile.

I've been recommended on the Recommended Beta list in the Fireplace (very high and quite undeserved praise), and I'm almost always available. I'm usually prompt with my work.

I'd appreciate a PM if you're interested in obtaining my services. ;)

I am sure I'll really be in need of a beta soon, the first chapter of my story turned out alright by itself, but there's alot of stuff I don't know about writing, I really want it to turn out good.

I've just joined the Beta ranks, just so anyone who wants one knows.

I know there's a Beta feature on the site now, but I trust you people. So... Anyone willing to help me with a short Death Note piece? It's only about 620 words at the moment and I have a feeling it needs a lot of work. It's an attempt at the stream of consciousness thing, and I could use some help/an opinion.

I could definitely help you with your Death Note piece, blaqksilence. :) Can you send me what you want me to look over using DocX? If not, or if you don't know what that is, then just send me a quickie email and I'll go over it for you!

*sigh* I trust Fireplacians over others, so I've ambled my way over here.

I've been working in and out of writer's block for months now, and my style is just as choppy as the ins and outs of my inspiration. And, to top it off, I've written something of a gloss-over of a battle scene in the current chapter of my fic (something I am terrible at).

Would there be anyone willing to critically look over my newest chapter of my Harry Potter fic? I don't need story help so much as flow, corrections, and maybe suggestions on spicing things up (if the beta was very generous). XD It is slash, but there is nothing more than a mention of such in the chapter. I really don't trust my own reading-over ability right now, and though I have readers willing to beta, I would rather have an outside, impartial person for this chapter.

Anyone? *hearts and love*

Empy-

If you like, I could take a look. I have/am (it's an ongoing job) beta read/ing in that fandom, though I'm not sure if I'm good enough for your standard of writing. But I could see what I could do.

I'm not sure if I'm good enough for your standard of writing.

Do I come off snobbish? ;__;

But I would be honored, Sao. So long as you don't mind contending with many typos, confusion (intentional) and confusion (unintentional), run-ons, and bad description... I would be honored. XD

I'll message you on MSN (after dinner, whoops!). :)

No, but an excellent writer I am very sure you are. ;)

I've beta read for people far worse writers than any one here, so I think I'll be right. ;)

That's cool. I've had my internet restricted, but I'll try to come on tomorrow. I've offline messaged you, so... :)

Hey

I would like to request a beta for my only written piece posted on this site. It’s in the Hannah Montana section ( don't hate me), and it is a one sided slash. Spelling and grammar would be pretty much all that is required since it focuses on two minor characters, maybe helping me get my thoughts in order (it is a one-shot that sort of rambles). If anyone would like to help me I would appreciate it so much.

PM me if interested. Thanks again.

Hello,

I have recently been made aware of this forum by Mangoe, and came across this beta reading section.

Just to put this out there, I am a beta reader, and if you want full details, check my profile.

Thank you.

I'm always available to beta! I'm pretty much in every category, to be honest. I can (without the research) beta quite a few video game, movie, TV show, anime, and book categories.

Feel free to ask! PM me if you'd like.
