Beta plea

Jul 08, 2013 21:39

Hihi!

Looking for a beta for my PL. It's currently 19.5k, and doubt it'll be much longer than 30k (Lets see if I can get the shortest PL again this year :P). Merlin/Arthur, possibly NC17, modernAU with magic. The only warning can think of is [spoiler]a description of a car crash, but no serious injuriesI have one beta, but I'd love someone else to look ( Read more... )

I'm not spectacular with grammary things (I stick commas where they feel good) but I'd be happy to read it over and look for typos, missing words, awkward sentences and stuff like that. Feel free to hold out for someone who is a proper beta, but I'd be more than happy to help if I can. :)

That would be awesome, thank you! I have it in a gdoc, or can send you the file, whichever you prefer :)

gdocs works, because then I can work on it from wherever I am. My gmail is the same as here - sapphirescribe. What's your timeframe right now? I have bits and pieces of time during the week but am free most of the weekend, if that works.

I'm not sure my timeframe either, right now. I'm mostly free weekends, but I'll be adding bits and pieces whenever I get some free time/inspiration. Whenever is fine :)

I'm not in Merlin >_> never actually seen a full episode .... but if you just want another set of eyes to go over it, I can give it a whirl. :) I'm a much better beta than I am writer, LOL, and I try to explain why I suggest what I do.

That would be awesome - are you sure you don't mind beta-ing outside your fandom? It's an AU, so you don't need to know any canon for it. I can do gdocs or a word file, whichever you prefer :)

littlelostcat July 9 2013, 19:38:06 UTC

I don't mind :) It'll help me focus on beta work and if it's AU it shouldn't matter :D

Could we do it as a Word file? That was I can add comments/tracking -- gdocs and I sometimes have idiot issues. More often than not they are user created issues :|

And my email is littlelostcat (@) livejournal.com

You've already had several offers but if you want another set of eyes then I'm more than happy to help out <3
