    Beta needed!

    I need a kick-me-in-ass-or-dangle-a-carrot-so-I-update kinda beta. I write slashfics and am on an earnest pursuit of finishing off my Danny/Mac fics so I can move on to Danny/Flack. I work crazy hours and I am a horrible procrastinator. If you would like to read some of my work before volunteering, you can do so at http://www.fanfiction.net/~celefinwe. You can also go to my LJ at http://celefinwe.livejournal.com. Sense of humor is a plus :D Please don't be scared. I don't bite, unless you want me to ;) :lol:

    WANTED: CSI:Miami Beta readers for more mature fanfic writers. Seeking betas for punctuation, syntax, and more importantly, plot discrepancies and characterization. Would like betas who can respond in reasonable time frame, and are not afraid to weild a red pen like a sword. We are older, and can take constructive critiquing. If interested, contact theteej2@gmail.com or Neteret@msn.com

    Ciao, everyone! I'll gladly beta.

    NAME: Lexi

    PAIRINGS: Any, || or // ... Doesn't matter.

    PM me with your story, or drop me an e-mail at onstage_kisses@hotmail.com. I'm looking forward to reading your stuff!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm not able to PM anyone yet...

    I'm right in the middle of writing a CSI:LV Cath/Sara fic. Though I already have one beta reader (mainly checking phrases and grammar), I'd like to have one more (greedy much :D). Considering my German(ic) background, my writing tends to be a bit "chiselled" - that's why I'd really like to "hire" a native speaker who looks through my fic - giving me hints how to smooth it out... :)
    I already have 5 chapters (2-4 pp each) and will probably write 6-10 more. I'm not that fast (too much work on the side), so no pressure for a future beta as well! But it would be nice to have someone who sticks with me and my fic over a longer period.. thank you.
    When interested write to: elite_closeyoureyes at yahoo.com

    Re: Beta Needed Re: Beta Volunteers

    Here at Talk, a "beta" is somebody that reads over a fanfiction before the author publishes it to make sure it has good grammar, the characters' attitudes aren't too out of whack, and the plot makes sense. Some betas do more than that, but that's the general idea.
    The word "beta" comes from the Greek letter. The first letter in the Greek alphabet (alpha+beta=alphabet, incidentally) is "alpha." That's the "original" copy of the work. "Beta" is the second letter in the Greek alphabet, so that comes next.
    The same general lingo is used in game testing.
    Please, don't ask how I know that.

    P.S. I actually do beta, mostly for Vegas. And I know forensics stuff. And explosives. Some of you know this. <cough> Anyway.

    Re: Beta Needed Re: Beta Volunteers

    I'm looking for a beta who has some time on their hands. It's mostly for a Sara/Calleigh fic I'm co-writing with someone and maybe later on for some other fics I'm personally working on. We need a native speaker to check the story's flow, punctuation etc. Please PM me or leave a message at my LJ
