I need an alpha, beta, and/or cheerleader (pick one or more): I need a beta please!
I am offering my services as an alpha, beta, and/or cheerleader (pick one or more): am I being a terrible person if I say I don’t have time to reciprocate beta services right now? I’m already overextended, so am definitely useless except as a cheerleader!
More about what I need/what services I’m offering: (e.g., I can cheerlead and keep you motivated, I need an alpha reader to help me pick a story, I need a beta for spelling and grammar, etc.) I need a general proof-reader, so anything more is much appreciated but not necessary.
My story genre is (e.g., J2AU, SPN future!fic, etc.): SPN Canon AU? I’m not sure exactly what to call it! Also, it's wincest, although not explicit.
The best way to contact me is (e.g., reply to this comment, send me a PM): reply to this comment or send me a PM - I’ll be checking both!

All set, thanks!

I need an alpha, beta, and/or cheerleader (pick one or more): Beta, I definitely need a beta.
More about what I need Grammar and spell check mostly. The story's flow is good, but that's what *I* think, so maybe a check for that too?
My story genre is (e.g., J2AU, SPN future!fic, etc.): J2AU, fantasy. There's violence and attended rape, but I don't think it's too graphic.

Hi there,

It wiuld also he very helpful to prospective betas if you could list your posting dateand the approximate word count if your story. At this point, it makes it much easier for betas to confirm if they can turn around a story within the time you need!
