Beta Offer shaggydogstail November 21 2016, 20:50:41 UTC

Am willing to beta if anyone wants help. I'm decent with SPAG, good with Brit-picking, and willing to turn my hand to whatever advice/assistance/hand-holding might be needed.

Hi, I still fondly remember your Torchwood fic Reach Out and Touch! I certainly can use a beta. My gift is only very choppily written so far, but I do have the first scene and wouldn't mind an opinion on my plot.

And (to everyone in general) if someone needs a beta, I can do that. I'm all about spotting plotholes, glaring Americanisms, spelling/grammar mistakes in both British and American English, and ooc-ness. But if you're looking for an actual British beta, well, I'm Californian (with British blood, though!). Also, I will be no help regarding anything to do with Book 7- I've never read it. I know the first 6 very well, however.

Hey would you be up for beta'ing my piece? It's nowhere near ready yet (got an extension) so I'd probably/hopefully send it over next weekend... May get a bit NC-17 as well, in case that's a problem. Let me know! Cheers, L

I'm looking for a beta. I can fill you in on the details but I don't want to spoil anything for my recipient, so message me if you're willing to have a look at my fic. I mainly need someone to Brit-pick it for me...

I have 1600 words of fluffy mcfluff everybody lives au that needs a beta, spag and brit pick. Please! Willing to bets yours in exchange as well but I don't do brit picking.

If you still need someone then I can do it on Monday (UK time). My email is woldyy (2ys) at gmail dot com .

rhye November 29 2016, 06:10:33 UTC

Thank you so much! I will send it now.

rhye November 29 2016, 06:11:09 UTC

Oh just realized it is past Monday. I will send it anyway just in case you have the time. Sorry about that, holiday weekend and all.

luminousgloom December 15 2016, 01:33:07 UTC

It is soooooooo late, but I've just sent it to you! No worries if it's too rushed & you haven't got the time, just let me know. Thanks again!

sostrata December 15 2016, 04:30:06 UTC

I've finally sent in my fic ::blushes:: and so if there are any other stragglers who need a beta (or just inspiration!) feel free to ask.

museinabsentia December 16 2016, 17:15:53 UTC

Oh my goodness, you may be my savior. I'm tackling a pinch hit and wasn't sure anyone was still hanging out around here. I don't suppose you'd be up to beta around 4k give or take for me? I'm actually not quite done, but I'm hoping by the end of the day today.

sostrata December 16 2016, 18:23:02 UTC

Yes, sounds good! I'm always eager to read any R/S! My email is marymbissell at yahoo dot com. BTW, what is your time zone? I'm PST (California). I'm working this afternoon but will have the evening and all of tomorrow off (I hope) to read.

If you can't get done today, it's okay if you want to send me what you do have.
