Beta Help?

[oflittleuse]

YES!!! I didn't think I could do it, but I did it and I am so happy right now. I really wanted to write the perverse_bang fic because, well, I completely just filled my own prompt, but it was something I have been dying to write for AGES and then I thought I would never get it done in time - because I was at word count 0 yesterday and it is due ... Friday. But

I would like to offer, but I am not sure I am the right choice. Firstly, I have an hour or two this afternoon, then I'm busy with Mother's Day movie-watching tonight. I can do my best to read fast, but if you have better offers, take them!

Secondly, I am brilliant at spelling and grammar, reasonable at picking out dropped words and continuity disruptions, and fairly observant at brit-picking (as much as a Canadian who reads fanfic can be), but I don't really have a gift for story arc and flow - you know, where the beta says, "cut out this whole section, it's irrelevant to the story flow" or "this character is unnecessary" or whatever.

Also, I am not sure how to communicate my discoveries/changes to you if I find any - will you send me a doc and have me mark it up somehow? I need beta training for how to do this.

But I'm hear, reading the teenwolf voting challenge for the next couple of hours, if you can't get anyone.

The story sounds brilliant, btw.

Thanks! I have one person taking a look at it right now, but would you mind being my third pair of eyes? I don't need to have this submitted until Saturday May 18th, so if you would be interested, then I can send you the link to the google doc tomorrow night.

Sure! I would love to. Just p.m. me the link. Sorry for not being around this afternoon, I fell asleep. :)

I'd offer but this post popped up during one of my most hectic weeks of the semester (with the next two threatening to be worse) so I'm sorry I can't! That being said, the idea sounds fantastic, and I can't wait to read it. ♥

Aw, well I appreciate the thought! Hope the next few weeks aren't too stressful for you. Hopefully once you've survived you can comfort yourself with this fic and all the other perverse_bang ones. :)
