| Anybody want to volunteer themselves as a beta reader? no problem! Just fill this out and post it as a reply :
Name :
Beta reader or proof reader :
Strengths : Weaknesses :
Preferences : Not willing to read :
Availability :
Notes :
if anyone needs a beta reader, all they need to do is contact you.
EDIT: On beta reading vs. proof reading: I always thought beta reading as something more thorough. A beta reader will help with characterization, plot holes etc. as well as your basic grammar, punctuation and sentence structure stuff. A proof reader would only check for the second bit.

| Name : Arc (I guess you can call me Matt if you want too...I even play bass too, except it's the upright version) Beta reader or proof reader : Whichever one you want Strengths : Mechanics, catching awkward stuff, catching cliches, challenging the writer to expand, detail. Weaknesses : Humour (At least I think so; correct me if I'm wrong). Preferences : See notes. Not willing to read : See notes. Availability : Available. And bored. Notes : I'm not huge into homosexuality, explicit sex scenes, or sappyness in general, but if you can convince me that there's a point for whatever you're doing, go ahead. Same goes with any pairings. I do have preferred pairings (most often the canon ones), but I'm still looking for good development rather than pairings by themselves. For a full "brochure" of my services, go see my beta reader profile on FF.net. | |

| I accidentally clicked the back button and now I have to repost Name : Potgenie Beta reader or proof reader : Both can do! I'm not exactly sure of the difference though. Strengths : I'm pretty good at spotting spelling and grammatical errors. I can also help with developing plotlines. Oh, and spotting plot loopholes! Weaknesses : I can be pretty longwinded and hence draggy in my stories, and sometimes I have a bit of trouble putting my ideas down on paper. Preferences : I'm fine with almost anything, as long as there's a decent plotline and the writer doesn't give up on the story halfway. A dash of humour would make things fun too! Not willing to read : Anything past season two or Digimon-centric stories. Oh, and lemons. ^___^ Availability : Now! Notes : I'm new to beta-ing, but I'd love to give it a shot! | |

| Name : BandGeek (but ya'll can just call me Kat)
Beta reader or proof reader : Why, both, of course!! What is proof-reading with out being somewhat nitpicky for character? (Ah hah, I'm not that bad, really)
Strengths : Romance, some adventure, angst, humor, parody, and songfics Weaknesses : Action, the other part adventure, and mystery
Preferences : Romance or humor, adventure, historical ff, parody, and pretty much everything Not willing to read : No explicit content please *covers eyes* and no yaoi/yuri/shounen ai etc. I'm not against it, but I just don't enjoy reading it.
Availability : Pretty much always, it varies depending on what's going on. I'll let you know if this changes if you decide to pick me, but... For the most part, I'm going to be veeeeeery free for a loooooooong time.
Notes : Um... my favorite color M&M is yellow, I like romance, indie music, and will read ANYTHING (except for those listed under "will not read", of course). Parodys are great, too!! | |
