Beta-reader sign ups!

[irony-rocks.livejournal.com]

Most people will already have their own beta reader, but hey, maybe they want to try someone new. A beta reader is a person who reads another person's written work with a critical eye, with the aim of improving grammar, spelling, characterization, and general style of a story before the author posts it up. All participants must get their fiction beta’d by at least one person.

Beta volunteer: Can we get some lovely volunteers to help our writers out? Betas are love, so comment below with the following text! Comments are unscreened.

<b>User name:</b> <b>Email:</b> <b>Preferred Fandoms/Pairings:</b> <b>Is there any type of fiction you would prefer to avoid beta'ing?</b> <b>What are your strengths as a beta reader?</b> <b>What kind of turn around time can someone expect from you?</b>

Need a beta: If you are in need of a beta, then drop a note or just directly contact someone that volunteers below by replying to their comments.

Sure! I'm also writing Haven for the Little Bang, so beta-ing a fellow Haven-er will put me in the mindset. :)

A couple of questions: 1) When would you like it back by? 2) What are you looking for in a beta: characterization, grammar, flow, sounding board, etc?

Feel free to send it to my email livebrave224@gmail.com with any instructions.
