ACCEPTED!

Got into FictionAlley this morning, but I guess I have a lot of editing that needs to get done.

Nothing like trying to find a beta for a novel-length story.  *sigh*

Like what? Spelling and grammar?? Cause I am alright with all that, I can have a thourough read through and see if you've missed anything (which I don't think you have because I am usually picky on all that and nothing ever stood out to me in AtF

Shit with britpicking though.

Yup, that's what appeared to be the biggest problem in the e-mail response. 90% of the problems are capitalization, commas, etc., after dialogue, which I know has always been my biggest problem.

I can toss you a few chapters tonight when I get home from work, if you're interested in taking a swing.

Just email me a few. I am working tomorrow (Sat) and Sunday but I should be able to get a start on it. I will have heaps of time Monday though so I can try get through a bigger chunk then.

You aren't wanting them all done within the week are you? Cause that I can't do. Classes start this week so I am a bit shorter on time than I have been but I'll still have time.

Then if they tell you that your beta sucks you can still find someone else. :P

Well, I actually posted a request on their forum a few minutes ago, so I'll see if I get any responses by the end of the day. In the end I'll probably have to divide them up among multiple betas, which isn't a big deal since I can't post the whole series in one chunk anyway.

Well you know which one's I'd stick my hand up for :)

lol I'm gonna hand them out in order, so there won't be any HC/T to get done for a while.

I've always wanted to beta, but people really don't give newbies a chance. Only two of my stories has ever been beta'd on a sites request so I must do alright.
