Hello!

As I've said in the subject line, I am new to this group and looking
for a beta reader. I've just posted a character piece on wraithbait
                      and I am hoping for someone to take a peek at it.
I'm using a crappy word processor, so the best I have is a spell
checker, and no grammar. Unfortunately it has no "in-character"
function as well. Or any other useful little tools that many an author
would kill to have ^.^

So, I am looking for someone to give it an overall check up, but also
let me know what else you think. I'm not very confident in my
characterisation.

If you are interested, please give me a shout at: baconbits@...

Thanks in advance ^.^

It wasn't me, but so sorry to hear!!  Though had a thought if you sent
to your beta via email does your server save sent mail, you might
already have a copy there? Yahoo/Gmail both save no matter the computer
I use. Just a thought, hope things get better soon!!

and I'm fairly sure that I sent a Kavanagh/Ronon story to them,
probably along with a few other things I've written. If you are that
beta reader, could you please send anything I sent you back to me, as I
don't have any other copies.

Hey,

I'm looking for a beta who'd be in it for the long hual in a long term
partnership. I need help with grammer and some spelling. Some help in
characterization and in plots. Also someone to support and bounce idea
off.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm in need of a beta reader for a Ronon/OC story I'm just writing.
Since I'm from Germany and I'm translating this story into English I
need someone who is patient enough to correct all the wrong spelling
and grammar.

I'm looking for someone who ist willing to work with me for some time
since the story isn't finished yet and I don't know how it will be in
the end. The first small chapter is already translated. Two more are
waiting for translation, the rest until now only exists in my head. ;-)

The rating probably will be up to R.

Who's willing to help?

Greetings

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a beta reader for my McKay/Sheppard fics.
All NC-17 rated. I Need help mostly with grammar/spelling/punctuation
checks.

Hope to hear from you guys

I have a few unbeta'd fics that needs your services. I write Gen, H/C
fics with an ocasional angst. Mostly short stories that were posted on
my Livejournal, but I also have at least one multi-chapter. Need
mostly spelling, punctuantion and grammar and I'm not a native English
speaker, and even teaching English as a second language, my grasp of
the language is still far from being the same as the talented betas
around.

Hello all,

OK I have FINALLY got my butt in gear and go back to some of my old
stories.  This is the first one I have got a full chapter on so I need
it done so I can post it while working on the last part.

It is part 6 of a 7 part series set just after season 2s ep "The
Tower".  I had it on many list a year ago when I was still working on
it but it's been a while now.  (EEEK 15 months)

You may need to read the other parts to keep continuity but that's up
to you I guess.  They are on fanfiction.net.  It's all about how the
team rescues Rodney from underground after they kill the ZPM.

Thanks,
Laheara

I am in need of a beta for a Rodney-centric fic.

      I'm in need of someone who can give me plot and characterization analysis
and not grammar and
punctuation (although, if such errors are found, it's always appreciated if
they're pointed out).

      Length-wise, the story I'm writing is going to be in the ballpark of 25000
words, with 40
parts - each about 6250 words.

      It's going to be set post-"Tao of Rodney", though some mention of "Sunday"
will be made in
regards to Carson's character.  (And "The Game" *might* be mentioned, but in an
off-hand, general
conversation sort of way.)  The pairings are going to be Rodney/John (in a
just-starting-to-get-into-a-relationship way), Rodney/OFC, Rodney/Chuck/Lorne
and John/Carson.
The rating will be NC-17.

      The basic idea of the story is that Rodney is stranded on another planet
and goes native.
The majority of the first half of the fic deals with this (with a few parts
focusing on the
"Meanwhile, back in Atlantis...")  He ends up staying there for about 3 & 1/3
years and makes a
new life for himself there before people from Atlantis are able to make it back,
with help from a
mutual trade relation.  Once back, Rodney has trouble reacclimating himself to
Atlantis and feels
himself stuck between two worlds.  Then, he gets a plea for help from his
adopted world and feels
compelled to go back and help them, taking back-up with him (as well as a means
to get home this
time).

      If anyone's interested, I can give more in-depth information.

      And I'm planning on having the first part done by the end of next
Wednesday.


Thanks,
Adrian

Hi There,

I'm looking for a beta to finish a story I've written. It has already
been beta-ed for a part, but my beta became unexpectedly unavaliable
and I'm hoping that someone is willing to help me with the last
chapters (15 to 19, around 8000 words). It's a Shep/Weir fic (rating NC-
17)

Thanks,

1of1

Hey there,

I'd love to beta your fic, either all of it or just the parts you
want. The only problem is that I won't be able to start betaing until
Wednesday, so if that's a problem then I'll understand.

Hi! I'm looking for someone to help me turn a rated R-NC17,
Radek/Elizabeth story into something I wouldn't be ashamed to post. As
it is now, I want to scrap the whole thing. Maybe someone could take a
look and tell me if it's worth salvaging?

Especially someone who is familiar with Elizabeth, Radek, or both.
This was supposed to be a gift fic for someone else, so these
characters are new to me, and could use some fine tuning.

Just e-mail me at baconbits at rogers dot com

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for a good beta who can fix the emotion words I seem to be
lacking, Also I need quite a bit of help with grammar.

Hiya,

I've been MIA for a while and went to post a fic on Wraithbait, only
to find that the standards have been raised while I was gone. This
makes me happy, since it means that everything I read there is a cut
above, but it also brings to light the fact that my writing toolbox
has a few things missing. I need help correcting the dialog
punctuation of a [currently] seven chapter story. It could probably
use a grammer over-haul as well, just to be on the safe side. ^__^
Hell, at this point, I'll take advice on everything but the underlying
plot structure!

I'm a low maintenance writer. I've just had my uber-self-confidence
shaken, but I'm not fragile and I won't take offense to criticism. I'm
just looking to be a better writer.

I am looking for a beta for a Highlander: the Raven (HLTR) crossover
with SGA. If you are familiar with the Highlander universe but haven't
seen HL:TR, that's OK, I can bring you up to speed on the character in
question.

What I'm looking for in a beta: someone who can help keep me from
having impossibly long sentences; check my grammar, punctuation, and
spelling; help me keep my plot from wandering off aimlessly and offer
constructive suggestions for cohesion if necessary, and who can turn
around a story in a week or less, barring any unforeseen life events.
Right now, the story I'm writing is nearly finished and is about 40
pages in Word. This will be my first SGA story, but it's not the first
fanfic I've ever written.

What I will give my beta in return and notes about me: beta credit of
course, prompt replies to suggested comments/corrections, reasons why
I might disagree or agree with you on something, and virtual
chocolate. I will also make myself available, if asked, to have an
interactive session via ICQ or AIM, keeping in mind that I'm on the
West Coast of the USA, time-wise. My grammar and punctuation style is
American, so please take that into account.

Rating and warnings of the story in question: slash and some violence.
Main focus in terms of SGA characters is Ronon, John, with appearances
by Teyla, Sam, and Major Lorne. One OFC.

Please let me know if you're interested, preferably directly at
wenchita at gmail dot com.

Looking forward to whoever responds!

Thanks in advance,
Raine

Hi! I need a beta for a Major Lorne/OC centered fic. I have read and
re-read it many times but I'd like a fresh set of eyes to go through
and see what needs to be fixed. I'm Australian so my grammer and
spelling are going to be as well. Oh, and I have only seen to the end
of season 3. I do know some things that occur in season 4 but I'm
disregarding them for now.
Thanks!

I would love to do this is you like.  As I am also an Aussie
(Brisbane)so your use of language will not be a problem.  I am up to
date with all episodes from season 1 to 4.

I hope this will help you

Hallo! I come bearing 3 Lorne-centered drabbles (100 words each, one
slashy, but PG), and I'm looking for a fresh pair of eyes to catch any
spelling/grammatical errors as well as to point out any glaring
characterization/stylistic problems.  (I'm getting back into writing
after a real life-induced hiatus, and this is my first SGA fic -- so,
really, any constructive criticism would be given virtual baked goods.)
Thanks so much!
Rachael

Hello,  I can give you a hand if you would like.  I am up to date with
anything SGA and all characters.  As this is how I spend my free time.
Please contact me if you wish to have me look over your work.

Thanks
Gayle

Hi! I'm new to writing SGA- though I have been writing fanfic for
other fandoms for a while now- and I'm writing my first SGA fic of any
length and I need someone's help with the Czech for Radek. I've got
some simple phrases, swears, endearments, and one small little speech
thing. If you can help with any of that I would be eternally grateful!

I'm also looking for someone to proof-read the story for me. It will
end up an NC-17, slash threesome (Radek/John/Rodney), some where
between 10,000-15,000 words. I try to avoid science as much as
possible because I don't know enough of it, but it is a plot heavy
story and therefore has some science in the beginning- genetics- if
anyone can help with that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
