Chello people,

Like most of you, I'm a writer and I know what it's like to write a story and re-read it to check for spelling and grammar mistakes: You can't find all the mistakes on your own. Therefore we have Beta-readers in the fanfiction writing world...
The thing is: it's very hard to find Beta-readers who are willing to check your work. I thought it would be a good idea to open a topic in which you can ask for a Beta-reader or offer your services as a Beta-reader to writers....

So: if you want someone to check your work before you post it here (to make sure your spelling and grammar are good) do post here, telling exactly who you need and for how long etc.

You can do this for both Fiction and Poems...don't hesitate to ask...

People who are willing to Beta-read for others can also post in this topic offering their services to others..please do tell us what you want to Beta-read (poem or fiction...angst/romance/drama/humor/slash/suspence etc.)...

I surely hope this topic will be used a lot..for we all benefit highly from Beta-reading!

Much writing Love,
SBG

Hi ^^
I'd like to - in SBG's words - offer my services as a Beta-readers to other people =)
A lot of people still make lots and lots of mistakes with their writing,
and I'd like to correct it for those who want to xD

<3 Fleur ##
* ps: yay, I'm the first one to react *

Well, Lavender Brown, if I may assume you're serious in that, be my guest.

I'm busy with translating my original written FanFic story (language: Dutch) into English. My vocabulary is between normal and good. But my knowledge of the English grammar isn't good at all. 'cause I always make big mistakes while writing between the Past and Present. And let it be those where I'm going under wile re-reading my translated sentece. I, myself don't see those mistakes 'cause from my point of view they aren't wrong. That's because my mind don't mark them as wrong while they are wrong.

You understand what I'm trying to say?

If so...

If someone is interrested, and I believe that some are, I'll offer 'my services as a Beta-reader' as well. 
This isn't only usefull with the english FanFictions, but it is needed more here.

I'd really like to help those who don't manage to write flawless.
Let me know if you're interested.

I'll keep saying it; everyone deserves socks

I'd like to Beta-read for other people as well! I love helping people with their writing and correcting it. I don't really care what kind of FanFiction or poem you write...as long as it's English!^^
PM me if you're interested!


-----------------------------------


Nariël Oronar




I'd love to help too! I must confess, my English isn't perfect but it's okay for stories like these. It doesn't really matter what kind of fic you've got, as long as it isn't H/Hr (or D/Hr and D/G for that matter) or anything too angsty. PB me if you'd like my help.


-----------------------------------


Lix




My English isn't flawless either, but I can often detect mistakes in fanfics and I just like to read them anyway. PM me if you're interested ^^


-----------------------------------


Spinny




I have a good knowledge about the English grammar, and I have a good vocabulary.

So hereby, count me in as a Beta-reader.

But I must warn you, my English isn't perfect, so I can make mistakes myself.

marie chantal




I want to offer myself as a Beta reader, my time is limited but this would help me improve my own knowledge on grammar and vocabulary in the process. I live in America therefore I am confronted with writing English every day: Papers, poems, stories whatever. Vignettes, memoirs.... 

English is my second language and I've known it since I was 8 years old. 
I have been absent from this forum for a while now but I'm back! as summer is approaching I'd love to do this ^^. 

I will do my best in giving constructive critisism the way I know best. 

-Marie Chantal. 

Please e mail me when you need my help, I have a long summer....

Skay




Hey. I've read many posts about people who want to beta-read. But I just couldn't help myself: I'm extremely bored and want to beta-read someone's stories. Can any of you help me out? Please???

A very weird request, but I just love to read english stories. (And I'm not fond of reading stories where the grammar is incorrect or the spelling isn't as it should. So if anyone is still looking for one: count me in!!!

Hi Guys,

If you need some help, I'm here to help you. I'm not saying I'm the best, but I control the language. I'm also a good Beta-Reader, so if you have a problem with something, you just have to PB me :wink: 

People who are willing to Beta-read for others can also post in this topic offering their services to others..please do tell us what you want to Beta-read (poem or fiction...angst/romance/drama/humor/slash/suspence etc.)...

Umh I'm willing to read them all, I think it's an excercise for myself and I've got plenty of time to read it. I really love to read fanfictions or poems that are written in English.

Justmenofear




Hey,
I'd also *yes I know  :D * like to Beta-Read for someone..
I've readed before.. about 3 stories I think, I've studied English and I'm in love with Harry Potter  8) 

I will read almost everything, but I find Snape/Hermione disgusting! It's just not realistic. Maybe that isn't such a good argument because I absolutely love Draco/Hermione fics and they are, some people would say, not realistic either.. Still, I'll read almost everything, Slash too if I won't have to deal with heavy snog sessions and stuff.

Bye !  :D


-----------------------------------


Misz_Hermione




Hi!

I'd like to say that I'm willing to beta any sort of Fan-fiction you have. The only ones I don't like, are Slash-fics. 
My English Spelling and Grammar ar quite good, I guess. (You might want to check out on my Fanfiction on Fanfction.net, A different way of Life. That way you'll get a good view on my Spelling and Grammar skills.)

So, if you're in need of someone who could beta your story, just PM me!

ciao!

Justmenofear




Well.. how typical, I apply for beta reading, and now I need one myself! Don't get me wrong.. I'm good at correcting characters' behaviour, story itself etc etc.. but my language isn't that well when I do it for myself  :?  when I read over someone else's story once or twice, most mistakes are gone. When I do it to my own stories.. there are 30 left!

So... could someone beta read a story for me please (A)

It's English, not yet posted and about Lily.. I know, how original.. but meh.. don't care (A)

help??  :( 

EDIT:  I've found a beta-reader :) thnx

Hi guys,

I too, would like to offer myself as a beta-reader to anyone who needs help. People that have the tendency to make many mistakes, as well as people who are almost 100% correct in what they write and just want to make sure everything truly IS correct, are most welcome.
I live in an English speaking country (Australia), I speak English all day long, go to an English school and even tutor Australian students at school...
I'm pretty confident that my English is very good and basically flawless, so you can count on me ^^. Vocabulary as well as grammar are both fine for me to do + word (the programme) is set up in English (laptop from school -.-) on my laptop, so it comes in handy :P.

Thanks ^^. Just pb me or request here for my help if you'd like.

Wotcher TONKS,

I was advised by more then some people to search a beta-reader for my story as I tend to make either grammar or spelling mistakes.
However let's just say I make mistakes and certainly need someone to correct them for me.
Would you be the one to help me out?

LadyQ

I would be delighted to help you out ^^. I assume it's the story you are writing right now? The one in this board?
I'll start on it and I'll pb you my e-mail address so you can add me and ask questions if you'd like. Or you can just pb me the upcoming chapters, either way is fine.
