Looking for a Beta.

Feb 23, 2010 07:44

I know, I've said this many many times, but I'm really truly looking for someone to edit my chapters before I post them. I've had a couple in the past, but it just hasn't worked out. Now, I'm not sure how the standard beta thing goes, but I'm just looking for someone to edit my chapter, you know, fix the grammar slip ups and the syntax errors and ( Read more... )

Eh I'd offer but lack of internet on laptop stops me. n.n maybe if you need one for the summer I can help you out. Cause that's when I'll get my laptop fixed.

id does its forz your. Just kidding.

I'd be happy to do it. As I'm not a 'professional' beta, I won't be offended if you find somebody who has more experience, but I think I'm reasonable as a grammar/spelling/plot editor. And, I don't sugar-coat things.

I'd also be willing to try a 'no strings attached' trial beta chapter. If one of us thinks it doesn't work, we can end it amiably there. Sort of like a first date, only easier. :) Just PM me.

Haha! If the above doesn't work, I'd be happy to help too, although I'm also probably not qualified to be a fiction press beta. But I hate punctuation errors with the fire of a thousand burning suns, so I think I'd enjoy it.

Anyway, the offers there.

Ummm, I can be brutally honest when I want to be. So. Yes. Just putting it out there. My own story is not a good example, but if I look at others I usually can help with polishing and etc. So yes. Candidacy?

First of all, I'm a big fan right here. (Team Cole, Yay!)

Ok, that aside, I think I'd make a nice beta since, well, I hate grammar/spelling mistakes and, when I see them it's like this horrible itching all over.

I just finished reading The Rabbit Hole's last chapter, a few words were missing in some sentences. Like:

..You fucked up a lot Grey, a lot. But you... a good man now, and I'm proud of that."

Maybe I'm crazy, but after that you, there should be an are. I needed to get that out my chest.

Anyways, I wouldn't sample my own work since, I haven't been able to finish a story ever, mostly because the time I make an error, I usually back space to make it better, I lose concentration in that, and then BAM! I forgot what I was supposed to be writing.

Maybe we could try out with a chapter, that way we can see if we can work together.

I'd love to be of help,
Kimberlli.
