Basically just read it very carefully, correct typos/errors and offer thoughts on what might be wrong with it, suggest ways of making it better, that kind of thing.

I forgot to mention that if you need a spelling/grammar-nazi beta, I'd be happy to help :)

I'm quite good at spelling and punctuation tbh, but you could still look for content and common "repeating the same word twice in quick succession" sort of things that I am prone to! Chapter three has been a bit of a sticking point but I made a bit of headway this morning...

Chapters 1 and 2 have been looked over by adafrog but the more opinions the merrier as far as I'm concerned. If you want to have a look, let me have your email addy!

Mine is ruthybee2 (at) yahoo (dot) co (dot) uk

Thanks! X

Very interesting questions. I can read it over if you need someone still.

It sounds truly intriguing.

I could beta if you didn't find anyone else to do it.

I've never seen Being Human so I'd be useless as a beta, but -

So... this Doctor of mine has a thing for werewolves, and doesn't have much of an instinct for self-preservation. You do the math.

YES, please! :-)

I am definetely interested in reading this fic. As for the content. I can usually stomach dark fics but there is usually a line that I can't cross. And its my invisdi-line where I go WTH... and just have to step back. Occasionally I cling on and find the story is worth the read as long as it isn't all DOOM and GLOOM and BANG... death. See?

Well... I don't intend there to be Doctor!death or indeed any death. But I was thinking some sexual biting/scratching/blood (consensual on the Doctor's side, unable to be helped on George's side given that when he is so close to transformation he tends to lose most higher brain functions).

I don't think it would be TOO graphic. Depends on how dark a mood I'm in at the time.

Would that squick you?

Not so much doom and gloom, just... well... a bit dark and kinky I guess.

Nope no squick at all. Going by your last fic you have a way of making things that seem impossible become possible.

Bring it on! lol.
