Offering: Beta and Britpicking!

+ How many people are you willing to beta for? Depends how busy I am with school stuff, but I'm not doing art this year so theoretically I could do a TONNE.
+ What services are you willing to provide? (Critique plot/characterization, check for SPaG, Brit-pick, smut assessment, etc) I'm not brilliant with beta-ing smut (my eyes tend to skim over), but I'll do my best! I can do whatever level of plot/characterisation critique people are after, and I'll always do a general spag-check as I read through. I'm British (born in England, living in Wales) so I can easily Britpick, and if anyone is setting their story in a school or university, I can check for Brit-accuracy in those systems!
+ Are there any ships or situations you refuse to read? Not a Harry/Louis person, sorry. Everyone else is all good, but I'm not up for mpreg, rape, hardcore violence, or character death/terminal illness. I'm happy to read/beta fic with OCs, but not where they are main characters.
+ What's the best way to get in contact with

Hi!

I've got a beta reader, but she's not British -- so if you'd be willing to Britpick a 42 k Zilo Soulmate au I would be very happy.
There's nothing triggering in the fic, I think ( a bit of emotional cheating and a fair amount of smut). It's ridiculous, however.

The fic is done, but I don't think my beta will have time to do her part earlier than December. So, sometimes after that.

That sounds FANTASTIC, I would love to help! :)

[tilly_t]

Thank you! I'll get in touch with you (at least a couple of weeks before posting date, so you'll have enough time). :-)
If my beta reader (who is also doing BB) won't be able to do her part, maybe you could help me out with a SPAG-check too?

Looking for a beta!

+I think up to around Christmas time, It's about 23k in, and I want to have at least 10k more?
+Harry/Louis, side pairing Zayn/Liam - um, little plot summary - girl!direction, Louis and Harry hate each other - until Harry ends up on Louis' football team, her bed, and eventually stupidly in love with her.
+It is girl!direction, so if you're not a femslash person probably not for you :) er there is a bit so smut as well :) my email is ariadneodair@gmail.com, so comment on this or send me an email if you're interested! :)

Heyyy I remember reading some of your femslash before! I could be interested in this! I'm starlitshores on Tumblr if it's easier to find me there.

[ariadne_odair]

Heey! :) I have sent you a message on tumblr :)

Offering: Beta services!

How many: Probably up to five, but could do more depending how in-depth they are :)
Services: SPaG, plot and characterisation, pacing and structure. Happy to be anything from an early draft cheerleader to just a quick beta right at the end. I'm Australian though, so no Brit-picking, sorry.
Preferences: Would prefer not Harry/Louis, Harry/Nick or Louis/Nick, and I won't do fics with non-con, cheating, abuse as a central theme or A/B/O.
Contact: Replies to this comment, or my email (quietlyhome@hotmail.com)

Offering to beta/britpick!
+ How many people are you willing to beta for? Let's go with three, since my studies are ending soon.
+ What services are you willing to provide? (Critique plot/characterization, check for SPaG, Brit-pick, smut assessment, etc) I can do anything but brit-pick!
+ Are there any ships or situations you refuse to read? I'm not big on Grimshaw/anyone, honestly. But I will do any other ship gladly, especially Harry/Louis (my specialty).
+ What's the best way to get in contact with you? (LJ message, reply to comment, email, etc) Email (kassiehall95@gmail.com) or twitter (@phantomhivelou)

Offering to Beta!

+ How many people are you willing to beta for? Maybe two or three, depending on the length. I'd love to do more, but I'll most likely be busy with school.
+ What services are you willing to provide? SPaG definitely; I can maybe help with characterization and plot and smut, but I'm not sure how good I'll be. I can't Brit-pick, though, because I'm Canadian (while there is a bit of an overlap, I'd probably miss a lot).
+ Are there any ships or situations you refuse to read? I'm okay with all in-band pairings except for Larry, and I don't really read pairings outside the band, other than their rl girlfriends. I'm not okay with rape, underage (where one of the characters is underage and the other isn't), mpreg, cheating, gratuitous violence, abuse, character death, addiction... I'm not sure what else, but I guess I'd be uncomfortable with most basic trigger-y stuff.
+ What's the best way to get in contact with you? You can reply to this comment or email me on gmail or message my tumblr. I use the same name everywhere.
