Hello, readers! No writer can go at the task to write a great story alone, that's why we need you! Are you willing to help the people who love to write but who have to fight with grammar and spelling? Better yet: do you want to stand at the frontier of the greatest stories and make them even better with your insight?

question Are you willing to help the people who love to write but have to fight with grammar and spelling? Then you have come to the right thread!

  • What is your native language and how good/bad are you in English?
  • Your fandom and/or genre you write most in or want to beta for? For romance: do you write/are you willing to beta female/male relationships and/or slash same sex relationships?
  • Any other notes you want to add. For example: about time taken to beta, special things you (need a) look at (like flow, plot, characters, only grammar), etc.

Hi Sanaa-sama! Congrats on the guild! ^_^ (Hey...where in the world did ya get 20k from? xD)

- what is your first language and how good/bad are you in English? (if you're willing to beta for other languages, please state which and answer the same question)
My first languages are English, Arabic, and Spanish. I believe I am doing quite well in English. I also am able to beta French, Japanese, Russian, Korean, Polish, Chinese, German, Indian, Hebrew, and MAYBE Italian.
- what is your fandom and/or genre you are willing to beta for? (for example: only fanfiction for a special fandom; only original (non)fiction of a special genre; only action or only romance etc.)
I can appect any kind of fandom, since even if I don't know it,there is always my Handy-Dandy Internet. xD But if anything, I would like stories that look like there was a considerable amount of work put into it.
- het/straight (female/male relationships) or slash (same sex relationships) or doesn't matter? (always important, don't want to hurt anyone's feelings now do we?)
Doesn't matter. I've written a few of each. ^_^
- your email-adress the stories can be sent to. (or state if you want to contact by PM/AIM/MSN etc. first)
Babyfaceloved@hotmail.com is only for email. However, if you need something doen quickly, or want to talk to me, we can cat in MSN at Hinedrafeh@hotmail.com.

Wee! ^_^

Know enough languages, Cloud? heart

- what is your first language and how good/bad are you in English? (if you're willing to beta for other languages, please state which and answer the same question)
-English is my first language, and considering I've been through eleven years of school, I'm pretty fluent in it.

- what is your fandom and/or genre you are willing to beta for? (for example: only fanfiction for a special fandom; only original (non)fiction of a special genre; only action or only romance etc.)
-I will beta for fanfiction and original stories, although I may be limited in the fanfiction area because I don't know that many. If the story is clear and describes well, I shouldn't have too much of a problem with it.

- het/straight (female/male relationships) or slash (same sex relationships) or doesn't matter? (always important, don't want to hurt anyone's feelings now do we?)
-Slash or het doesn't matter to me. Any level of adult content is fine.

- your email-adress the stories can be sent to. (or state if you want to contact by PM/AIM/MSN etc. first)
- Felix282@aol.com If I don't reply in a week PM me ant tell me you sent something, because sometimes I forget to check my e-mail. sweatdrop

- any other notes you want to add. (for example about general time taken to beta, WIP's or finished pieces, maximum ratings, lenght, special things you look at (like flow, plot, characters, only grammar), etc.)
-I will beta for anything, rating G to NC-17 or whatever the highest ratings is these days. I also tend to look at grammar and the level of description.

1) My first language is English and I'm pretty damn fluent wink
2) I would prefer to beta original fantasy
3) het/slash doesn't matter, I'll do whatever
4) gammyun@hotmail.com or PM me
5) I'm busy and have a lot of projects on the go, so I'm not a quick beta, but I do try to be thorough and can do a full crit if so desired.

-waves-
Yay! Guild's up! whee

1.) What is your first language and how good/bad are you in English? My first language is English, and... I'm fluent. o_o Writing is one of my favorite hobbies, so I tend to pride myself upon my.... l337 skills. *cough*

2.) What is your fandom and/or genre you are willing to beta for? (for example: only fanfiction for a special fandom; only original (non)fiction of a special genre; only action or only romance etc.)- As stated elsewhere on the Guild, I prefer slash, BL/yaoi-ish schuff. I also enjoy drama and angst, violence is no problem. One thing I don't like to do is fluff, straight or otherwise. I can usually put up with it, unless it's just... sickeningly sweet. I'm more of a masochism kinda gal. ^_^

3.) Het/straight (female/male relationships) or slash (same sex relationships) or doesn't matter? (always important, don't want to hurt anyone's feelings now do we?)- Answered above, I suppose.

4.) Your email-adress the stories can be sent to. (or state if you want to contact by PM/AIM/MSN etc. first)- Please contact me by AIM first, withblakwings is my current sn. I'll be sure to edit if that changes.

5.) Any other notes you want to add. (for example about general time taken to beta, WIP's or finished pieces, maximum ratings, lenght, special things you look at (like flow, plot, characters, only grammar), etc.)- Nothing in particular. Yes, that was boring, but it's true. ^^

Edit: AIM sn changed to Raskolnikitten.
