I am a: Beta
I read: Any type of original fiction except historical. I am not a history buff at all and it will do you no good to have me read historical fiction.
Other: You can expect me to be a Grammar Nazi, but I will do it in a courteous manner. I am also a stickler for correct punctuation/spelling. I am also willing to give advice on plot points and character development.

I am a:Beta
I read:Fanfiction: X-Men, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Discworld, Rocky Horror, Anne Rice, maybe a few others.
Other: See above.

I am a : Beta. But when I do occasionally write, I'd appreciate someone looking over my stuff, even just for grammar and stuff like that.
I write/read : Original (anything except science fiction/fantasy or historical) and fanfiction (Anime/manga, TV shows, RPF, whatever. Just PM me what you're writing about and I'll tell you if I've read/seen/heard it.)
Other : I'm a pharmacy student, which means I have a decent workload. It means don't expect me to be quick about things sometimes, as university life may decide to be a b***h to me. I'll tell you if anything comes up, but other than that if you need me to read something I can usually read and give you my critique within a few days. I can also go on AIM or MSN if you need me, to throw around ideas and such.

I am a : Beta however I also write short stories and poetry. If you can look over my stuff as well, it would be great.
I write/read : Any and all original pieces of any genre. [No fanfiction!]
Other : Be fair warned: I am a grammar nazi. If you have a problem with that, just use spell check. It's not that hard. I have a tendacy to only comment on what is wrong; don't be offended. Please keep in mind that I am also in high school and am constantly working on an essay or studying for the next test. If I don't pm you back with your critique within fifteen minutes... chill!

I am a : Beta and Gamma
I write/read : All genres or Fanfiction for many series. Just ask if I've read it or not.
Other: I warn you that I am a grammar nazi. Also I'm in High School and currently collecting work and editing for the school Literary Magazine, so if you don't get your critique within a short amount of time, please don't worry.

I am a : Beta
I write/read : Any type of genre except non-fiction and sci-fi. I will be of no use to you if you have these type of stories ^.^;;
Any fanfiction is alright too.
Other : I am stickler for grammar and spelling; I'm pretty much OCD when it comes to grammar and spelling. I have done beta work before, so no worries! I'm not afraid to tell you if something is wrong or if something doesn't seem to 'fit' in your story, but I won't cross that fine line between 'Helping' and 'Bitching'. smile
Oh, and I can pretty much finish looking over your story the same day you send it to me. At the VERY most it will take 2 days.

I am a : Beta
I write/read : fanfiction for Harry Potter, Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon, and Kingdom Hearts.
Other : I will help with grammar and syntax, but I will also comment on content. As a creative writing major, I have pretty much been trained to look for character development, scene setting, showing vs. telling, etc. My criticisms can sometimes seem harsh, or so I am told, but as an author with a sensitive ego... I try to be as nice about it as possible. P.S.... I prefer slash or femmeslash as opposed to het.

I am a : Beta
I write/read : Original Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror
Other : I'm spelling nazi (especially words that the spell-checker doesn't catch) as well as punctuation. I try to point out things that the writer might not/doesn't catch, but I don't pad my suggestions with niceties. Generally, I mark up with red or orange text (pen if offline). I'm quite helpful with dialogue, as well as descriptions. I do try to be nice about what I'm doing though.
I've done beta/editing with various people before, so it's not something new to me. All of my comments will be neutral and are only intended as suggestions, not criticism. I severely dislike chatspeak.

P.s. During the school year, please understand that my workload may be high, so if you send me anything for beta-ing, please don't expect a quick fifteen minute response. Also, I'm willing to beta anything extremely gorey.

So many betas here. Not nearly enough gammas around.


Gammas? Gammas, anyone? *Whistles*

~I'm confused whether all the Gammas on the list have Betas already or not. sweatdrop

I should write something just so I can make use of the guild! ^^
PostPosted: Mon May 14, 2007 6:36 pm


I am a : Beta
I write/read : Fanfiction for Naruto (I haven't gotten to Shippuden yet, however), MagicalxMiracle, Cardcaptor Sakura (not Cardcaptors), Tokyo Mew Mew, Ella Enchanted, The City of Ember series, Tales of Symphonia, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle (movie), Kingdom Hearts I and II.
Other : I need to refresh my memory on a few series--Seventh Tower, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, etc., so I'm afraid I can't do those. On the subject of Warriors, I haven't read Sunset yet.

If you have spell check, I expect you to use it. I won't hag on you for it, but I don't like going through a mess of spelling errors. I'll give an honest (but not "flaming" ;])criticism for anything I can find.

I don't mind shounen-ai, shoujo-ai, and I'll do any pairing. However, no lemons (graphic romance, usually tottering on the extreme side). Please.

If you need to ask me about something, contact me through my Yahoo!. E-mail is preferred. <3

I am a : Beta
I read : Original (Horror, Vampires, Sci-fi, Fantasy) or Fanfiction (Kingdom Hearts, Death Note, Pirates of the Caribbean, Naruto, Harry Potter).
Other : I quite like to read, and am somewhat of a grammer/spelling nazi, so, I make for a wonderful Beta.
PostPosted: Fri May 25, 2007 11:06 pm


I am a : Beta
I write/read : original (Adventure-Fiction-Fantasy) or fanfiction (Harry Potter of any time placement)
Other :
I have read a ton. No, seriously, a ton. According to my dad, I have probably read more books in the past five years of my live than he has read in the past thirty years of his life. Then, frankly, you should know that I never, ever sugarcoat my reviews. If something does not sound right, then I'll say it. Though, frankly, I will look out for grammar and spelling first and foremost. Not to say I'll be in your face if I pick up something very bad, I'll just point it out to you is all.

I am a : Beta
I write/read : original (insert genre here) or fanfiction for (insert fandom here) I'll read pretty much any genre or original fiction...not much of a fanfiction guy.
Other : I'm a grammar/spelling Nazi and I'm usually brutally honest in reviews. I fully realize this is a double standard: I do read shojou-ai, but not shounen-ai. My school workload gets quite high, so until June I may not be able to rattle off quick responses, but I promise you I will read everything I get.
