Need A Beta?; :)
Topic Started: Sep 20 2008, 06:36 PM (57 Views)
laughable_black_storm


So I was waved over here by nana_banana over at APU, and decided to offer my services as a beta :) I have tons of experience with a variety of genres, 'ships, and ratings, and am farily open-minded when it comes to what I beta. I am an acredited beta over at PI (LaughableBlackStorm) and at APU I'm a fifth year beta. :)


Pen-name: laughable_black_storm
Strengths: grammar, spelling, punctuation, OoCness, sentence structure
Fics I'll Read: Anything that doesn't involve a major OC as the main character, basically. While I'm not a huge fan of fics based on any canon pairings (Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ginny, James/Lily - I'm more of a "what if THEY were together...?" kind of person), I will beta it for you.
Ratings I'll read: All
Gentle, Flexible, or Brutally Honest: I'm a bit of a mix between flexible and brutally honest. I'll tell you how it is without being rude or harsh about it, but I'm not going to sugarcoat it either. I am also willing to send a chapter back and forth until you are satisfied with how it is (for example, you rewrite a scene over and over, and I tell you my opinion on each one).
Additional Information: I never turn anyone down. If I'm busy, I'll mention it to you and give you the option to either risk having me give you a chapter a couple of weeks later instead of days, or find another beta. Also, the only big thing I ask when someone asks me to beta for them, is that the story is either already complete or the author is 100% certain that it will be completed. :)

So, send me a line, I don't bite! :joy:
