I'd be happy to beta for you if you still need it...

Sorry that it's got to the point that I have to post this...

But please, no more requests for at least a few weeks.  Actually,
it'll take me that long to clear out what I've got, so no more until
the end of the month.  Sorry, again.

In the last two months, there was a forty-eight hour period (just
after Christmas) where my inbox was empty of requests - but that's
it.  I've spent almost every spare minute beta'ing.  I guess it's my
own fault, I did put myself out there, but there are a few who have
perhaps overused the offer a little.  I'll finish what I've got, but
it's got to the point that when I do do something for myself,
I hurry, hurry, hurry... Because I know everyone else is waiting on
me.  And then I feel guilty, and there's no fun in any of it
anymore...

This post is slightly off-topic, but please, Group Moderators, I beg
you not to delete it.  I'm getting way beyond desperate here.

Thankyou all for your faith in me, but I really need some time of my
own.  I'm not gone, just taking a break.

Of Palm Trees and Porn (tent. title)
Hard R
SGA/SG1 Crossover, approx 6,500 words
Jack/Daniel, Sheppard/OC, Carter/OC, eventual Mckay/Beckett
Looking for a beta who examine all aspects of the fic and give
constructive criticism. I adore criticism b/c it make the fic better,
but please, nothing hurtful or cruel.
It's sort of a crack!fic. It's supposed to be fun and lighted hearted.
It is slightly AU because O'Neill is back on the team and Mitchell is
on a mission with the Sudan warriors. SG1 and the Atlantis team come
together to retrieve an Ancient planetary shield and chaos ensues! It
actually started off as a joke, a friend and I basically wrote it
together, but we've really put some hard work into this.
If you think you might be into this, please email me.

reading) and i need one. i will also be very happy to do the same for
anyone else, anything to get a fix!

yep.

checking for typo(e)s, seeing how well the words flow, looking for
continuity (both in-story & in-series)...things like that.

if I need one soon, you'll hear from me.

hi,

hi,

I'm looking for a beta for a gen fic, Carson-centered. It's set in the
second season, but apart from Ronon's presence, there shouldn't be any
spoilers.
It's about the team going back to Hoff (the planet from "Poisoning the
Well") to see what has happened since their last visit.

I would appreciate a check on my grammar and punctuation.  Any
constructive criticism would also be welcome.

This will probably be a longer story, made up of several chapters.

Hi ya,

I can help you if you're still looking for someone :)

Hi,

I'm looking for a beta for a McKay/Sheppard humor story that's not yet finished.
Just a basic grammer check and suggestions are welcome.

Don't know if you're still looking for a beta, but if you are I'd be
happy to help.  I already beta for someone who's not English, so I'
happy with sorting out changes in expression etc.

JUst let me know if you want me!

Hi!

Just joined the list from the Wraithbait archive and am in need of a beta.

I'm actually looking for someone that would be interested in being a
beta on a pretty permanent basis (not just for one or two fics).

I have one beta now, but am looking for a second beta for my longer
fics so that they get two good run throughs before I post them.

I'm a slasher and my pairing of choice is McKay/Sheppard but I also
write Rodney/Carson and John/Carson as well as John/Rodney/Carson,
though the majority of my fics are strictly McKay/Sheppard.

Thanks!
forcryinoutloud

I'd be happy to beta for you - any combination of the above pairings
is good for me!  I have a good Atlantis knowledge, as well as the
science and medicine stuff if you want that, and am geeky when it
comes to English and grammar.

Just let me know if you want me!

I'm looking for a beta for a short(ish) fic.  It's Beckett/Sheppard
NC-17, and is basically Dr/patient play - I'm looking to see if it
works or not.
Obviously normal help with spotting grammar/spelling/characterisation
mistakes as well will be appreciated.  Not quite ready yet, but should
be in the next day or two.
Thanks

I've got a short piece, Rodney's POV on his unrequtied feeling for
John and Carson.  Pre-slash (hopefully to be resolved later) just his
thoughts, feelings and insecurities.  I could really do with a reader
to tell me if it sounds OK, or is completely off the mark.

Thanks

I'd like to do it!

Hey, I have a Parish/Lorne ficlet, its not very long and I could use
help with the end.

If anyone's willing let me know.

I usually ask for grammer, spelling, flow, yadda, yadda.

Thanks

Rachel

Have posted my first fic on wraithbait. It's only the first chapter,
it's about John and Rodney's relationship after John is raped (NC-17).
The first chapter is pretty intense.

Any feedback would be appreciated - any advice will help me improve!!!

I'm after opinions on a fic, rather than a beta, but if you feel like
pointing out grammatical and spelling errors along the way feel free
to do so.
It's a 2000 word gen fic following on from the events in Allies. It's
dark and includes drug use/torture. I've had two people look at it but
I'm still unhappy with it, it's very similar to the first draft I
wrote of the story and I still feel that there is room to hack large
rubbishy bits out of it although I'm not quite sure where from. If you
can help please email me - I really want to get this fic off my hard
drive and posted soon otherwise it may just stagnate there for
eternity.

hi i was wondering if someone would mind taking a look at a john hurt
with out the comfort peice im working on. it pretty short (like 800
words) so if your interested e-mail me. thanks.

I'll take a look if you want.

Email it to helenbuckley119@...

Helen.

The long suffering Alyse at Wraithbait has suggested that I get a beta
for my ongoing fic "Black and White" which is being posted at
Wraithbait and Fanfiction. Reviewing the random way in which I've been
applying the rules of grammar and punctuation I have to agree with her!
So if there are any grammar/punctuation whizz's out there who can
ignore the fact that the story is British English (and I've had
trouble elsewhere with that!) I would be most grateful.
There are five chapters needing to be betaed and three more still
being written.

Hi,

I've tried something different (for me) and written a McKay-centric
gen-fic; there is whumpage, some h/c, maybe a (very)little angst.
Usually I write from a Sheppard POV, so I am very nervous about this.

Besides the usual grammar, typo, "I'd change that if I were you", I
want to know if my McKay sounds like the "real" McKay. Too overdone?
Too mild?  Boring!? I want honesty.

If you want to take a look at this for me, let me know.

Thanks,
ga unicorn (Cassandra)

I have a short, hopefully humorous Sheppard/McKay story that's in need of a beta
to go over.
