DESPERATELY SEEKING BETAS!!!

[badly_knitted]

Hello, my wonderful F-list, I come before you seeking assistance, if any of you lovely people can spare the time.

Both my dear friend m_findlow and myself need betas for our latest torchwood_fest fics, which have to be posted to the community by the end of the month, so there's not a lot of time left. m_findlow's fic is around the 10,000 word mark and ready for beta. I'm still

What kind of beta are you looking for? I'm not a big presence in fandom these days, but I could beta. However, it's been years since I've seen TW, so I wouldn't be much good for someone looking for characterization or canon help.

Strictly spelling, grammar, tenses, sort of stuff. My friend's fic is in first person with Tosh as the protagonist, so she needs an eye cast over it to make sure it stays in tense as well as picking up any typos etc.

Mine is a Jack and Ianto Chase the Monster type fic, nearly but not quite finished, I've had to stop writing to get get the washing in off the line. Should finish it tonight or tomorrow and my word count estimate looks like being fairly accurate.

Canon and characterisation we can handle - mine isn't canon-based =)

Sorry I didn't get back before now. Yes, I could certainly do either or both stories. My evenings are free for the next five days, at least, so I have time to work on them. My email is twinsarein@gmail.com - would you be sending an attachment or sharing a Google docs? I'm good either way.

It's only mine now that needs doing, milady_dragon's taken on the long one. Mine's not quite finished, hopefully tomorrow I've just been out most of today getting stuff out of storage that now needs sorting, so I've had no time to write today.

Soon as I get it finished, I'll send it to you as an attachment. I use MS Word, so I hope that's okay.

Thank you! It's a weight off my mind since there's not a lot of time left for posting. It is turning out a bit longer than I'd anticipated, maybe around the 4k mark when it's finished, I'm just trying to find the end, lol!

Not a problem as to when. Most of my evenings are free, as my husband and two kids are in bed by nine. :) Hopefully Word won't be a problem. I have Apple products, but I'm pretty sure Macs still open PC software. It always has in the past.

If word proves a problem, I'll just copy and paste into the body of the email, but I'll try an attachment first. Now I just have to go get it written! *ambles off*
