calling all beta's:
so, i am currently working on the Demi/Selena VAMP!FIC AU OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.
i know, you're already stoked. what, you want a sneak preview? you have mad editing skillz? then you should totally be my beta.
requirements, i haz them:
+experience not necessary, but appreciated.
+native speakers a must as i'm looking for someone not only well-versed in the English language, but familiar enough with the nuances of it from a literary perspective so they might provide insight.
+keen eye for grammar/usuage/mechanic errors.
+willingness to not only check for GUM errors, but to evaluate syntax/diction as well as tense continuity.
+if, maybe, you wanted to also provide constructive criticism as per event chronology or perspective approach or dialogue or detail inclusion etc. etc., THAT'D BE COOL, TOO.
+shit's going to be long. at least as long as SWYA, which was ~8,500 words. so, if you're great at working with an on-going piece, i'd be thrilled.
+patience is key. i'm slow. so, if you could bear with me, maybe even help keep me focused with creative suggestions.
IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU, THEN LET'S DO IT UP.
i've never worked with a beta in the past as my fics tend to be pretty short. i've managed okay on my own, but errors happen. i'd be really grateful if i could get a literary-minded/inclined person to look this bitch over. (IT'S CURRENTLY AT ~1,800 WORDS, YO.) i really want it to turn out well.
