In need of a beta reader

Feb 16, 2010 20:53

I was wondering if anyone would be able to beta my story. I'm not quite finished it yet, but it's starting to get very long, but I would like to make sure that it flows properly and all that jazz.
So if there's anyone interested, let me know. But there's no rush. I'm a very slow writer and often get writer's block.
Thanks ^_^

well, I've never beta'd before, but I'm pretty good at catching typos, and I'm pretty conscious about the way things read and such.
(obviously i don't really bother too much when just chatting and posting on boards)
I'm also really easy to get in touch with. I check my email multiple times a day.
I wouldn't mind getting into beta. :)

Thank you so much for the offer!! I'm definitely going to take you up on it. My story is basically a very long one-shot. It's my first for Kaka/Saku and first one-shot too. I usually start stories, and then never finish them because I lose inspiration. But so far, this story seems to be working out for me! I just doubled the size of the story over night, and I probably still have to add at least another 4000 words before it's close to being finished. It's closer to 7000 words now and if I can figure it out right, I'll be adding some sort of sex scene.
Are you going to be okay beta-ing all that?
Thanks again for helping me out!

i know exactly how you feel about not finishing stories. One-shots usually suffice the issue with me as well. I'm MagicMuffin on fanfiction.net btw (incase you wanted a fanfic background)

A lengthy story like that would take me more than one day because, to make sure i catch everything, i'd have to read it through several times. That, and i also have thesis to worry about, but fanfiction for me really is a welcome distraction so you don't have to worry about that!

I can also offer suggestions if you feel you're stuck or losing inspiration. I'd love to beta for you! I think it'd be a nice experience.

Do you want to further discuss this through email?
