WILL BETA FOR FIC omletlove August 2 2012, 12:18:16 UTC
Genre I will beta: I am really not fussy; I will beta just about anything and everything. The only things I really can't get into are terminally ill fics and psychological fuckery, but even the latter is growing on me.

Pairings I will beta: My preference would be Blake/Bane because I am fresh here from the Inception fandom where I am a hardcore Arthur/Eames shipper, but I am perfectly happy to give any pairing a shot. I personally can't see Talia/Catwoman, but I am not even ruling that out because hey, you might surprise me.
EDIT: Het is not usually my thing (I don't mind it; it's just not my first choice), but I could really get behind Bane/Talia origin stories.

Trigger(s) I will not beta: Rape/non-con/dub-con are my biggest cringers, but it depends on how much focus is given on the abuse. Of course it's something that would define the character(s) and become a fundamental plot point, and that I can be okay with, but if it's a highly detailed scene, or, as myxomycota mentioned, part of a pwp, I'm not sure I'll be able to handle it.

I'm looking for a beta. this is what I have so far, because I thought it would be something short, I just went ahead and posted it. http://tdkr-kink.livejournal.com/1025.html?thread=762625#t762625
I am struggling with the ending a bit here, so help would be very welcome.
I am super interested in the John Blake character and want to write an epic back-story, link it to canon and beyond that...if I can convince someone to beta for me. (I mean I will write it anyway, it just won't see the light of day)
I am the argue/discuss/ask kind of writer, so drafts go back and forth with additions and questions and notes.
let me know if you are interested.

Hi! Thank you for the message; I am very interested. Indeed, I am intrigued by what you have already. I will PM you.

HAVE FIC, NEED BETA bat_hawk August 13 2012, 02:45:46 UTC
Hey, I'm writing a fill for this prompt. It's a fairy tale AU, so you'll have to like AUs (though in my head everyone correlates to their canon position perfectly!). It's got endgame Bane/Blake (with a pretty slow build up), side Bruce/Talia (I haven't quite decided if they're going to be endgame or not), and Bane/Talia bffs.

I've been having writer's block from hell, but this sort of thing is right up my ally, so I thought I'd try to crack it with this. Problem is that everything is feeling really unwieldy and clunky. I'm probably just narrating too much or something, but a second opinion would be much appreciated. I don't have that much written out yet, so it'll be a few days before I'll be ready to send the first chunk over if you decide to take it.

Anyways, let me know if you're interested! :)

Hi, did you say AU? I love AUs. I love AUs almost as much as I love slow build ups, so you've got me on two counts now. And you're right, the prompt is actually very canon.

I will gladly, and gratefully, take a look at whatever you have so far. And/or if you just want someone to volleyball ideas with for a while, I am game for that. Let me PM you my email address, and we can take it from there :D

Hiya, I'm looking for a beta and was wondering if you'd be interested? It's an odd idea - an Inception/DKR fusion/crossover thing, so I'd really like someone familiar with Inception.

Basically, it's the backstory of DKR as an Inception origins story. Things change in such a way that Bane becomes Eames, Talia becomes Mal, and John becomes Arthur. I'm also planning for it to be Arthur/Eames, eventually.

I've got about 5k so far, and I'd love to have someone to soundboard a few ideas with as well as to check my SPAG. Let me know if you're interested! :)

I'm sorry, did you say Inception/TDKR crossover? YOU BET YOUR TUCHUS I'M INTERESTED!

I'm actually intrigued as to how you would do this- pretty much all of the Inception/TDKR fic I've seen has had them start in Inception, and then Eames somehow becomes Bane. So the thought of having it the other way around is fascinating.

I will PM you with email address.

I already have one beta for my fics, Who_Gate. But two is always better then one. Or at least it was when I was still writing for The Hunger Games fandom.
I have two WIPS.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/529349/chapters/937882 (which is a prologue away from finished)
http://archiveofourown.org/works/539747 (and this one is outlined for four chapters)

Both are Bane/Blake but the second one is also Eames/Arthur.

I mostly need help with grammar. I'm really bad at it.

Hi there! I do apologize for my delayed response- hurricane weather here has made a right hash of things all along the coast. But yes, I'd love to help out. Do you want me to just get started on the WIPs as posted, or on later chapters? Or would you prefer to email me word documents? You can send everything to omletlove(at)gmail(dot)com, and just let me know what you need/want, and if you need them by specific times. Thank you for asking! All the best, Marina.
