Looking for a Beta

[tdkr_anon]

The entire idea of this post is to have a place where beta readers and writers can come together with ease.

When offering to beta...

Give the necessary information to writers so they know what kind of beta service you will provide. Please use the following format.

Genre I will beta: action, humour, drama, crossover, fluff, kink, slash, het,

Comments

If it means I get to read more TDKR fic I will beta ALL THE THINGS

Genre I will beta: Anything!
Pairings I will beta: All of them!
Trigger(s) I will not beta: I won't touch chan, sorry. Non-con also makes me a bit uncomfortable sometimes--if it's part of a longer fic I'll do it, but if it's the focus of a pwp I'd rather not. Otherwise, hit me with your best shot!
Type of beta I am: Usually I'll correct/point out grammar and spelling problems, then I'll comment on parts of the story I thought really worked and parts I thought didn't work so well

Does it have to be strictly in the TDKR fandom? I know that's probably like durr, because this is the TDKR fandom but I've been really looking for some help before I publush this Bucky/Steve story.

[myxomycota]

Hmm... I'd be happy to help in any way I can, but to be honest I don't know much about the Avengers. I saw the Captain America movie, but I don't know squat about the comics or anything :B (*whisper* I haven't even seen The Avengers yet. It's a sin, I know.) So I wouldn't be much help on the characterization front potentially. But I could look over it for grammar and stuff if you want.

[mask_of_bane]

We are in the same boat, my dear. I just saw the Avengers like, two weeks ago, and I saw Captain America only a week before that so we're both behind. :) It's not so much characterization as which direction I should take with it, and I'm bouncing ideas around.

WILL BETA FOR FIC

[omletlove]

Genre I will beta: I am really not fussy; I will beta just about anything and everything. The only things I really can't get into are terminally ill fics and psychological fuckery, but even the latter is growing on me.

Pairings I will beta: My preference would be Blake/Bane because I am fresh here from the Inception fandom where I am a hardcore Arthur/Eames shipper, but I am perfectly happy to give any pairing a shot. I personally can't see Talia/Catwoman, but I am not even ruling that out because hey, you might surprise me.
EDIT: Het is not usually my thing (I don't mind it; it's just not my first choice), but I could really get behind Bane/Talia origin stories.

Trigger(s) I will not beta: Rape/non-con/dub-con are my biggest cringers, but it depends on how much focus is given on the abuse. Of course it's something that would define the character(s) and become a fundamental plot point, and that I can be okay with, but if it's a highly detailed scene, or, as myxomycota mentioned, part of a pwp, I'm not sure I'll be able to handle it.

Re: WILL BETA FOR FIC

I'm looking for a beta. this is what I have so far, because I thought it would be something short, I just went ahead and posted it. http://tdkr-kink.livejournal.com/1025.html?thread=762625#t762625
I am struggling with the ending a bit here, so help would be very welcome.
I am super interested in the John Blake character and want to write an epic back-story, link it to canon and beyond that...if I can convince someone to beta for me. (I mean I will write it anyway, it just won't see the light of day)
I am the argue/discuss/ask kind of writer, so drafts go back and forth with additions and questions and notes.
let me know if you are interested.

Hi! Thank you for the message; I am very interested. Indeed, I am intrigued by what you have already. I will PM you.

HAVE FIC, NEED BETA

[bat_hawk]

Hey, I'm writing a fill for this prompt. It's a fairy tale AU, so you'll have to like AUs (though in my head everyone correlates to their canon position perfectly!). It's got endgame Bane/Blake (with a pretty slow build up), side Bruce/Talia (I haven't quite decided if they're going to be endgame or not), and Bane/Talia bffs.

I've been having writer's block from hell, but this sort of thing is right up my ally, so I thought I'd try to crack it with this. Problem is that everything is feeling really unwieldy and clunky. I'm probably just narrating too much or something, but a second opinion would be much appreciated. I don't have that much written out yet, so it'll be a few days before I'll be ready to send the first chunk over if you decide to take it.

Anyways, let me know if you're interested! :)

[bat_hawk]

Genre I will beta: All the genres! Though if it has major character death I may melt into a puddle of tears, fair warning.

Pairings I will beta: Uh, pretty much anything you can think of. I mean, if it's Alfred/Lucius smut, I'm probably going to pass it up, but most other things! ;) My favorites are Bane/Talia and Bane/Blake.

Trigger(s) I will not beta: Not so into underage, hardcore humiliation ends up making ME super embarrassed, and scat is a no thank you. Everything else, I think I'm good with.

Type of beta I am: Grammar and characterization are my main things. I tend to be easily amused, so I'm not always that helpful with plot, but I can tell you if your narration gets clunky in places or there's too much internal monologue or what have you.

[mask_of_bane]

I'm shopping around for a beta for two stories of mine, one of which I'm struggling desperately to get off the ground after months of writer's block, and one that's floating around in my head that I wanna nurture because I haven't had any plotbunnies in awhile...

They're both depressing though...

[bat_hawk]

Angst is not always my friend... Wanna pm me the details and I'll see if I'm up for it?

[mask_of_bane]

Okey doke then.

[needlespoon]

Forgive me if my lj profile is basically blank- I operate more on tumblr. A lot more (if you're interested in me as a beta, just drop me a message and I'll link you to my tumblr!).

Genre I will beta: Anything, really.
Pairings I will beta: ALL OF THEM. I'm more of a Bane/Blake and Bruce/Selina shipper, but I don't mind being a beta for any pairing.
Trigger(s) I will not beta: Detailed accounts of rape and non-con (I can still deal with vague descriptions or mentions of it, but no 30k hardcore fic about that, please). Also not really one for watersports, but I can deal with that if I have to. Uhm, I refuse to deal with detailed underage as well.
Type of beta I am: Grammar and spelling, mainly, though I will be able to point out bits that don't read well or don't make contextual sense.

Will definitely Beta

[kaszz_chan]

I've been in many english courses, so i tend to notice grammatical and spelling errors. Sorry if my LJ has like.... nothing on it, more of a tumblr person as well... I have the same name on there, but i will answer to either ^_^

Genre I will beta: I'm good with every genre
Pairings I will beta: I may like Barsad/Bane, But I will beta anything
Trigger(s) I will not beta: again, I'm good with anything, not the biggest fan of underage, but whatever
Type of beta I am: I'd be a better beta for spelling and grammar, but I can definitely try to help with Plot and Canon
