Beta List

[mrhd.livejournal.com]

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away this comm had a list of people who were willing to serve as betas for other authors! I would like to revive this list.

What is a beta?

A beta (reader) is rather like an editor. You can send them your fic when it is still in the rough stages, and they will go through it and edit, give feedback and suggestions and give a second opinion on your fic. Betas are not required for you to post fic in this comm, but they can be really helpful.

So if you would like to be a beta please reply to this post with the following format.

Subject Line/Top of Post: Beta for Hire

Username:
Universes you're familiar with: (i.e. 616, MCU, Ultimates)
What you're really good at: (i.e. characterization, grammar/spelling
What you WILL beta: You only have to fill out this one or the next one. If you will only beta fics of a specific type or two say so here. (i.e. will beta fluff, up to an R rating, and less than 8,000 words.)
What you WON'T beta: You only have to fill out this one or the last one. If you'll pretty much beta anything with a few exceptions say so here. (i.e. won't beta non-con or character death)
Contact preference: (i.e. PM, email, IM, carrier pigeons, etc.)

If you want an example, the first comment should be my filled out form.

What I'm looking to do is to compile and ever growing list, (perhaps also host it on Google Docs) that one can peruse when they want a beta.

If you are looking for someone to beta your story, feel free to contact anyone who fits your needs! If no one does, you can also post a request as a reply on this post.
