I will need a beta: Sometime in April, hopefully (for a complete, edited and researched second draft)
I need a beta for: I'd like someone to help me with plot and structure and character development, but since English isn't my first language, I'd also like a native U.S. English speaker to help me spot unnatural sounding English, especially in dialogues.
I'm looking for a cheerleader or alpha reader too (Y/N): Yes! I'm having problems with several very important plot points in my story, and I'd like a sounding board for suggestions on how to solve them.
My story is (e.g., J2AU, SPN future!fic, i don't know yet, etc.): SPN pre-series AU, mostly gen

I need/will need a beta: after May 1
I need a beta for SPAG and anything else they are willing to point out
I'm looking for a cheerleader or alpha reader too (Y/N): Yes.
More about what I want a cheerleader or alpha reader to do: At the moment, I could use a sounding board. In April, I would like an alpha reader to read through the unedited (and possibly still incomplete) draft to give me feedback on character development and flag any gaping plot holes or pacing problems.
My story is: RPF AU, PG13, Jensen/Jared pre-slash (will message further details)

I need/will need a beta: now; the first draft is finished :)
I need a beta for: plot continuity/errors, clarity, some SPAG, pacing, and general soundness of story
I'm looking for a cheerleader or alpha reader too (Y/N): Yes, sure! The story is finished, but it's always good to hear what works about a story.
My story is: a casefic with Lovecraftian elements, some horror, action, drama, set loosely in S9, and it's ultimately Sam/Dean (NC-17)

I need a beta for (e.g., spelling and grammar, character development, plot, story structure, everything, etc.) mostly SPaG, input on the other items welcome
I'm looking for a cheerleader or alpha reader too (Y/N): oh please
More about what I want a cheerleader or alpha reader to do: (e.g., motivate me to write, cheer me on, work on plot or story structure with me, serve as a sounding board, help me troubleshoot problem areas of my fic, etc.) right now I have two stories going, but the plot bunnies keep wandering off. Need help deciding which one, and sounding board/troubleshooting
My story is (e.g., J2AU, SPN future!fic, i don't know yet, etc.): both are gencest, one is something that could have happened in s4 from Bobby's POV. The other is a Where-was-Sam-while-Dean-was-in-Purgatory AU
