People, I haven't been here in ages, but I went back just to say this: PLEASE POST EVERYTHING IN THE GUILD FROM NOW ON. THis thread will NOT be chaed up on anymore, the guild will be.
Here's the link: http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?guild_id=8620
PLEASE, people, post it there! Thank you.





idea The Idea: Many writers here on gaia and on every writing community found on the internet don't have English as their first language, thus they tend to make some (silly) mistakes once in a while. That's why we've got beta-readers.

question The Question 1: Are you willing to help the people who love to write but have to fight with grammar and spelling?
If so, what are you willing to beta? (for example: only fanfiction for a special fandom; only original (non)fiction of a special genre; doesn't matter; etc etc)

question The Question 2: Are you in dire need of a beta-reader? Do you really need a person to check up on your spelling and grammar because you're just not sure enough it's all done okay? Don't be ashamed, we all go through that.
If so, what are you writing? (for example: fanfiction for this or that fandom; original (non)fiction of a special genre; etc etc)

arrow The Plan: To form a beta-list here on gaia for everyone to use.

biggrin So, anyone interested in signing up? If so, please post a message containing the following:
- if you need a beta or do you want to beta?
- what's your first language and how good/bad are you in English?
- your fandom and/or genre you write most in or want to beta for.
- het or slash or doesn't matter? (always important, don't want to hurt anyone's feelings now do we?)
- your email-adress the stories can be sent to.
- any other notes you want to add. (for example about time taken to beta, special things you look at (like flow, plot, characters), etc)

Don't we already have one of these somewhere? In a subforum?

Offline
There used to be a huge one, but I don't know what happened to it... I was gonna ask about that, actually..

Offline
I actually just went looking for it... And I can't find it. Hm.

Offline
There were two but the people who ended up running them didn't have the time to do so. It is a lot of responsibility.

Offline
Yea, it probably is alot of work.. but it was very helpful to alot of people.

Offline
I 'was looking for the big list a couple of days ago too... didn't find anything.

- if you need a beta or do you want to beta?
- what's your first language and how good/bad are you in English?
- your fandom and/or genre you write most in or want to beta for.
- het or slash or doesn't matter? (always important, don't want to hurt anyone's feelings now do we?)
- your email-adress.
- any other notes you want to add.



[1] I would beta anything, fanfiction or original.
[2] English, and I like to think I'm good at it... I'm not bad.
[3]For genres, I'll take anything. As for fandoms, Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Fire Emblem, Tales of Symphonia and Fullmetal Alchemist. I have more, of course, but I'd perfer those... I can't really find any good fanfiction for them anymore, which maks me sad.
[4]I don't care.
[5]Vicious_lagomorph@hotmail.com
[6]Usually, I'm a fast beta reader. I don't really do anything except for go on the computer, so replies are fast.

[1] I'm always looking for betas for my fantasy novel, and I'm willing to beta for others as well
[2] first language = english, I'm a graduate of a uni creative writing program so my skills should be up to par wink
[3] I prefer to beta original works, not fanfiction, and I can be most helpful with fantasy since that's my genre of choice. I'll also do science fiction, but am better with certain types than others, so best to ask first
[4] It's pretty damn hard to offend me with content, so no worries in that department
[5] gammyun@hotmail.com
[6] I'm a busy gal, so I'm not a fast beta reader, but I do try to be thorough. I prefer if people tell me what they want me to focus on so I can tailor to your needs. I will do full-blown crits though they'll take longer. I'm also open to novel trades, but would prefer to read fantasy and works that are at least 3/4 complete.

You think we'd need those buttons or something? I could make one, but I'd need a good picture for it (nobody's gonna click a button with only words on it.)

I'm will to read as a beta'er, the only things i won't read are lemons(If you don't get what I'm saying your better off) and insane romances. Anything else ill read, just try, if you submit anything to my email, to keep it under 120 pages.
