If you still need someone, I'd be glad to help you. I don't know any
German, though, just English.

Hello everyone!

I am in the process of writing my first fanfic, and while I'm
enjoying it immensely, I would love to get some constructive
criticism:

1.) I'm not a professional writer, and only have vague memories of
high school English, so a look at my phrasing, grammar and general
use of language would be good.

2.) I think I have the characterization right, but a second look is
always good.

3.) And finally, is it a good story??  Do you think someone would
actually want to read it?  Do I need to shorten chapters, include
more details, remove passages?

To give more details of the story itself, it is quite long.  I can
easily see this becoming more of a novella, since I'm using an
original character.  It will be slashy, NC-17 stuff in the future,
but not yet.  Three chapters in, everyone are still in their canon
relationships, or unpaired.  The primary pairing will be John
Sheppard with my original, male character, with the possibilities of
other relationships/tangles.

Currently, this looks to be a long-term project, though I do have a
plot outlined and a definate ending planned.  I'm producing roughly
one chapter every three to four days.  I use Microsoft Word.

My ultimate goal would be to post this story on Wraithbait, but I'd
love for someone to take a peek at it first.  If anyone would like to
volunteer, feel free to respond here, or e-mail me directly.

Thanks for your time!

I am in desperate need of a beta who can (yell/scream/tantrum/threaten)
help me finish two WIPs that are McKay/Sheppard centered.  One is a
humor/romance set in the first season that needs a a handful more
chapters before it's finished.  The other is an angst story (set after
Trinity) that is in need of one, possibly two more chapters to wrap it
up.  My muse has completely and utterly deserted me and I'd really love
to wrap these two WIPs up and get them off my plate.

Any takers?

I'm your man. And by man I mean woman. Send it anytime.

I know you posted this around four months ago, however, if you are
still looking for someone to beta this, I would be happy to look it
over for you. It sounds like a very interesting idea.

Hi, gamegirl1217!
Thanks your offer, I really appreciate it. But I had luck and I
finally found a great beta reader. Because of that I don't need any
further help at the moment.
But if you are still interested in reading the story, you will find it
at www.wraithbait.com. The name of the story is "Thoughts of a dead
soldier" and my penname there is MASH4077.
Yours sincerely,
Amrei

Hi,

After not writting for a long time I started with a new story. I'm
not a native speaker of English and this will be the second story I
write in this language. Though I have some knowledge on how to write
in English, it may not be good... but I'm sure you'll have no
problems understanding anything.

It's a GEN story. For now, only the prologue is ready, but I'm
almost finishing the first chapter. It starts with the SG 1, but it
will soon be a crossover between SG and SGA. Its an AU.

I need grammatical and spelling correction and of course any other
commentaries will be appreciated. I must warn you, I've only seen
two episodes of the first season and a few of the last of Stargate
SG 1, so the characters may be off character. If anyone knows where
I can watch the serie?

Well, I'm getting off topic now. To sum up, GEN story, crossover
eventually), native Spanish speaker, grammatical and spelling
correction... Did I forget anything? If so please ask.

Let me know if you are interested... I promise not to disapear again
(like I did with my first story. It's just that my muse abandoned
that story to start this one instead)

Kisses,

Magdalena

You normally send your story offlist, directly to the person who has
offered to beta for you, rather than to the list directly.

I sent this last night but it hasn't shown up in my inbox yet.  Sorry if this is a duplicate message

I was wondering if someone would mind doing a quick beta on a 500 work ficlet.  This is for the Last Fiction Writer Standing challenge on LJ, so the rules are pretty restrictive.  I need someone to read for content more than spelling, punctuation and such.  Its G and Gen, no offensive material whatsoever. 

Thanks,

Hey I've just begun writing my own fic after becoming addicted to sga
fiction. Ideally I need a beta not just for grammar and spelling but to
offer advice also.  Its Sheppard/Lorne slash and there is adult
material so please no one who is not old enough.

Hey there. I've never posted in this fandom before, and I need a beta
to check over my story. First off, no kiddies. It's definitely M
and/or NC-17, and since it's McShep, it's also m/m. The story takes
place in season 4 after Miller's Crossing and before Quarantine. It's
called "The Legend of Kirk" and can be described thusly:

Colonel Sheppard really isn't Captain Kirk, and Rodney knows it, so
why perpetuate the myth?

Story's a little over 5,000 words, and I'd especially like to see if
others think it's in character. I'm definitely open to suggestions and
ideas from whoever's willing to check it out.

Thanks a lot,

Sarah

Hi. I am first and foremost on the lookout for a Beta that can help me
with all the basics: spelling, punctuation, grammar and the likes thereof.

I would absolutely love to have a beta that could give me constructive
criticism, their view on my characterization, a bit of help with the
science in the story, the flow of the story and any plot holes that
might arise. As I said, I would love to have all of the above, but I
might just be greedy. :)

Well then, back to the story.

I am currently working on my first Stargate fiction, ever, and I am a
bit nervous that I might botch it up horribly, but here I go:

The story, at this point, involves mpreg, but I might change that part
later if I find that it does not fit with the story further on.

After being trapped with Carson in an ancient machine, Rodney finds
himself pregnant. throughout the story they must learn to cope with
the new life-altering situation they have been put in

The story will move slowly forward, establishing the friendship as a
stable ground before moving on towards any kind of romantic
relationship between the two.

(I am quite sick of the "wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am" stories where they
all jump from friends to lovers in the space of six hundred words or
less.)

There will be much uncertainties and probably some angst and a bit of
morality issues thrown into the mix. I have to say that the angst
level will be kept at a moderate, but since some people have a low
angst-toleration I can't promise if they will find it too much or not.
I am not a big fan of angst, but I write it when the story demands it.

I should probably state the ratings, too. I have plans to write sex in
this story, but not for many chapters to come. It will mostly be at a
PG-13 level, with a few well-placed curses, but the overall rating
will be NC-17.

Pairing is, of course, Beckett/McKay.

Warnings include M-preg, angst, gay sex, cursing, AU (Beckett never
died in 'Sunday'), possible spoilers for whole series (probably just a
mentioning or two).

Number of chapters. No idea. Probably around 10/15. Will change as the
story progresses.

Additional knowledge: I am not a native English-speaker...

Sincerely
Joe
