Offering: Beta and Britpicking!

+ How many people are you willing to beta for? Depends how busy I am with school stuff, but I'm not doing art this year so theoretically I could do a TONNE.
+ What services are you willing to provide? (Critique plot/characterization, check for SPaG, Brit-pick, smut assessment, etc) I'm not brilliant with beta-ing smut (my eyes tend to skim over), but I'll do my best! I can do whatever level of plot/characterisation critique people are after, and I'll always do a general spag-check as I read through. I'm British (born in England, living in Wales) so I can easily Britpick, and if anyone is setting their story in a school or university, I can check for Brit-accuracy in those systems!
+ Are there any ships or situations you refuse to read? Not a Harry/Louis person, sorry. Everyone else is all good, but I'm not up for mpreg, rape, hardcore violence, or character death/terminal illness. I'm happy to read/beta fic with OCs, but not where they are main characters.
+ What's the best way to get in contact with

Hi!

I've got a beta reader, but she's not British -- so if you'd be willing to Britpick a 42 k Zilo Soulmate au I would be very happy.
There's nothing triggering in the fic, I think ( a bit of emotional cheating and a fair amount of smut). It's ridiculous, however.

The fic is done, but I don't think my beta will have time to do her part earlier than December. So, sometimes after that.

That sounds FANTASTIC, I would love to help! :)

Thank you! I'll get in touch with you (at least a couple of weeks before posting date, so you'll have enough time). :-)
If my beta reader (who is also doing BB) won't be able to do her part, maybe you could help me out with a SPAG-check too?

[suthnoli]

Yes, that sounds fine!

Hi!

I'm almost done with working my way through my beta reader's notes. (probably will be this weekend). :-)

So, I was thinking... I'm gonna use google docs to share it with you, and then you've almost a month to read it through. If you still have time?

hi :) i'm working on a lirry au that i think will be about 20k when it's done (hopefully in december?). there's some minor harry/louis (but from liam's pov), so i don't know if that'd bother you too much. there's nothing triggering, just boys being stupid and recreational drinking. i'm looking for someone to britpick/check for inaccuracies for the schooling system, if you'd be willing!!

[suthnoli]

I'd be happy to help with that! :)

[countthestars89]

thank you!! i will let you know as soon as its done :)
