"I need a beta!" III

Well since I have people friending me again, I figured I should probably provide some actual, you know, content. ;-)

More pleas from writers trying to find a beta

  • I need a beta bad but sometimes I take anunusually long time to write. I might also need help with plot and fleshing out descriptions. My Oc has been worked on but he still might not be normal

  • Canon lovers need not apply!

  • I need a beta really bad will you be my beta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey, could you go through my Draco plot with me? If there are any relationships, they won't be Draco/Canon or something, so yeah.

  • It's not really romance, mainly about kickign voldie-dork's arse and the war

  • I don't know if you're going to want to beta mine story. It's a bit on the long side. It's only PG-13 but could easily be R for the volince scenes that I haven't gotten to yet.

  • Dayanne Riddle is Harry's old and true love. She appears again after 13 years. Everyone thought she was dead but she somehow survived...... Harry still loves her even after 13 years and after 2 children and 12 years of marriage with Cho. Dayanne Riddle's last name is an important clue in the story's plot. Come on, y'know better, look at her last name........ Riddle, RIDDLE! Doesn't that ring a bell in your little mind?

  • You'll Laugh, You'll cry, You'll never look at Grapefruits the same way again.

  • Harry and the rest of his year have graduated, the trio have split up and are taking three seperate jobs. Except Ron, who's unemployed.

  • I need help with British slangs and usages and writting tips in general.

  • I really need a BATE fast, because I want to post chapter 8!Hi guys!

  • I'd love to have some writing brit-picked, namely a chaptered Remus-centered, R/S fic that begins January 1982, travels around the world, and answers the question, "what would Padfoot do?"

  • Harry deals with his outer demon (Voldemort), while trying to balance his studies and a new girl in his life. However, one of his best friends begins to deal with demons of their own. Is it Ron? Is it Hermione? How will they survive the newts?

  • Time Frame: After the trip's seventh year

  • Seeking a BETA who doesn't mind cursing, willing servants,and sex and who uses constructive critisism.

  • The main plot is that after the whole werewolf incident with Sirius and Snape. Remus gets mad at Sirius and sneak out to Hogmead and get drunk. That when Bellatrix come and Sudeces him into a one night stand and tries to get him to join the dark side. That one night stand leave Belltrix pregnut with a duaghter. she tells Remus and they put with the Grangers. Blellatrix and Remus doesn't tell anybody about there daughter, not even Voldemort or Dumbledore. So if anyone interest please reply.

  • When normal people get bored on their summer vacation, they head towards the beach. When Harry Potter gets bored, he travels to Alternate Universes, skips his way through time, wrecks havoc on the laws of physics, creates his own spy network, warps everyone's view of everything, orders his own arrest, drives the newest teacher to insanity, goes on a blind date, predicts the divination teacher's death, gets caught speeding on a broom, plays I-Spy in he dark, builds a house out of coconuts, and ropes everyone else along for the ride.

  • It centers on Ginny and how she deals with being in a roller coaster relationship with Harry as he deals with yucky Voldy crap.

  • I'm writign my first fic , Gimme soem appluase! -crickets chirping in empty background- MEH! -flips secret switch and fake appluase plays- Thjat's more liek it...thank you thank you...ok stop now! -clicks button over and over, causing the machine to malfunction, and blow up- MEH! -hides mess- Ok...anyway...I need a beta reader to please read it and fix my many mistakes, because otherwise the poor readers will go cross eyed from reading my bad bad bad grammar! lol! Looking forward to getting a (some) vonlunteer (s) !

  • Qudditch Matches, Dealing with Voldemort in your room, Romance and getting into a lot of trouble is what is in store for Harry this year.

  • I really need a beta,anyone who is good with grammar, has lots of patience, and likes long walks on the beach would be fantastic.

  • I DO NOT IGNORE THE FIFTH BOOK I ONLY CHOOSE TO IGNORE THE LAST FEW CHAPTERS!

  • my fic is a Hermione Draco shipper

  • It's plotless because it was just to improve my typing, so i didnt plan anything i just typed whatever came to my head, like i'm doing right now.

  • I'm new to writing fics and I know I need a bata. I'm still working on the first chapter, but I've got the whole thing ploted out. It'll be a novel length fic, and the major ships are Ron/Hermione, Harry/A Crayon.

  • Oh, and did I forget to mention erotic swordfighting?

  • I'm in desperate need of a beta reader. Any help would be much apritiated.

  • main charechters: harry, hermion, ron, mr.\mrs waesly , ramus , dumbledore etc...




More responses from people willing to act as betas

  • One thing you *must* note if you have me as your beta is that I am VERY picky. Seriously, The World's Most Obsessive Nose Picker's finger ain't got nuttin' on me.

  • ~When I'm done betaing you're story, it'll be completely error-proof!!!~

  • I am Jounalism and English major. I plan to become a famous magazine journalist one day and an author.

  • I love grammar, spelling and general mistakes.

  • I WILL Beta any ship thats not illegal in most countries

  • Please be warned, I am ruthless, demanding and more than a little paticular. Your fics will be excellent, but you may want to strangle me.

  • your satifaction is garenteed or your money back!

  • I love grammar. It's just one of the things that makes me, me.

  • Well, you might wanna hear some qualifications first. Let's start WAY back. In fifth grade, I won 1'st place in a D.A.R.E. essay contest. If you don't believe me, and I'm sure if I don't put this someone will start owling me saying I didn't, I can scan it onto the computer and show you the medal.

  • I'm good at spelling and I'm fairly good at grammar, but my main skill is to keep things in cannon, I know the books well and I'm a good researcher. I also have a lot of time to do the research needed. But, I have a weak spot when it comes to punktion, which is definitley not my game.

  • I would love to beat your fic. Let me know.

  • I really want to be your beta reader. I'm REALLY smart. I was in a brainiest kid competition and I was in the final 12 then I flunked out.

  • this one is so totally mine. Other betas, back-off.

  • I dont beta anything with
    • F or GD word
    • Thats real racy
    • Extremely gory.
    • Slash


  • If thou art in need of a beta reader for thy most esteem'st works of fiction... Tell me to shut the heck up with my Shakespearean-esque spouting and email le moi!

And He tells Draco about Hermione. Hermione is laying on Draco' s Bed in his private quaroters. Draco conforts Hermione through the night. The next day all Hell brakes loose. There is a Rumor going around that Hermione had sex with both Harry and Ron, and that she liked it. Draco's ferious and don't care anymore if the whole school knows about Hermione and him. He has a duel with Harry in the graet Hall. And Blurts out that He been in love with Hermione sence 5th year. Dumbledore and Snape hear this and are surprise. They pull Harry and Draco into Dumbledore office and Draco tells his and Hermione secret. but not about the baby yet. Dumbledore expect that Ron and Harry are being controled by Voldemort. They find a counter spell and find out that it was true, But Draco tells Harry and Ron to stay the hell away from Hermione. Harry and Ron feal really giulty to what they did to Hermione.

Hermione and Draco go to the friends place and they find there child, They say thank you and and portkeyed back to Hogwarts. Durring that time Lucius find out about the child and is ferious at Draco and Kiddnaps Hermione, I'm not sure how Lucius finds out if you can give a suggestion it would be helpfull. There a big battle and Harry, Ron, Draoc, and Hermione fight together against Voldemort and they win. After the battle Hermione talks to Harry and Ron and become friends but not what they used to be much to Draco liking.

Those are as hysterical as the first batch. I'd give a lot to be asked to beta a Harry/A Crayon fic! As good as Ron/teaspoon.

I would love to beat your fic. Let me know.
That's just endearingly honest :)

That's just sensible. It prevents a lot of misunderstandings and hurt feelings later on.

It's only PG-13 but could easily be R for the volince scenes that I haven't gotten to yet.

What kind of string instrument is a volince?

Come on, y'know better, look at her last name........ Riddle, RIDDLE! Doesn't that ring a bell in your little mind?
