I'm not a native speaker so I wouldn't presume to be able to beta a fic written in English but I'm French so should someone want to use French in their stories, I'll gladly offer my help ;)

Sometimes people (like me) want to know if the story makes sense, if the transitions are smooth, or if it's missing something vital plot-wise and then SPaG isn't always that relevant. English is my second language and I have beta-read written English, so there's no need to be too shy. :)

You're right, I hadn't thought about it that way :)

Hi! I'm looking for a beta for a Nile/Andy vid. The draft I have is 2:17 minutes in length.

In terms of feedback, I would like to know if it works overall, if there are sections that are awkward or jarring, and if there seems to be a good balance of Nile and Andy.

I'd be happy to take a look for you (yay for being home).

Awesome!

Beta Found!

I am looking for a beta for a 1,000 word fic about how Andy escaped the witchhunters. Rated G; brief mention of period-typical racism.

GoogleDoc is midway between rough and polished (a verbal storyboard, if you like), so I'm mostly looking for narrative flow and plausibility at this point.

Hello, I'm looking for a beta for fest fic. It's Andy / Quynh, rated T, between 4k and 5k, with the following warnings: non-explicit mentions of drowning, past trauma, mentions of needles in a hospital setting.

I'm looking for flow and general SPaG. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd be delighted to give it a read. If you haven't already lined someone up, you can email me a copy at atdelphi@gmail.com or share via Google Docs or similar.

Hello and thank you for the help! I use google docs so I'll send you an invite to view the doc.

Hi - I'm looking for a beta or two for the nanowrimo stories I ended up with last year. What was supposed to be one novel turned into two novellas and three vignettes.

It's useful (though not necessary) to have read my series The Old Guard Takes Some Time Off.

I had a beta, but she got to a certain point in the first novella where her characterization of Quynh and mine diverged enough that she hoped out, which, fair, but I'd really like a\t least a second set of eyes on the story before I post the rest of it. The first five chapters are up here and it's been betaed through chapter 10.

I'm looking for plot inconsistencies and SPAG, mostly, though if you spot something else, I'd love to hear it.

Stories are explicit. The first one starts Andy/Nile, though it doesn't stay that way. Endgame pairings are Nicky/Joe, Andy/Quynh, Booker/Nile. Booker ends up taking a whipping to be allowed to rejoin the group, and there are implications that Joe and Nicky get up to some shit, though that's never shown explicit.

Total word count for everything is in the 70k range, but I'm only posting a chapter a week, and like I said, it's done through Chapter 10. I'm also willing to slow down posting if it'll get me a beta.
