Beta Readers
A beta reader is someone who agrees to look over a piece of fiction for spelling, grammar, characterisation, and continuity errors. Unlike a true editor, a beta reader is typically unpaid, and he or she sees the work at a very rough state.
Smith, S.E, "What is a Beta Reader", viewed Online 10 July, 2009,




OK fellow writers, so I'm looking for a Beta reader for some fanfics I've written.
I don't mind if you have no idea what the tv series is. (Although it might make it easier to read/edit if you do know it) I just need it proof read and edited to ensure it makes sense.

The first fanfic (and probably the most common) I'm looking to have beta-ed belongs to Sea Patrol (the Australia Navy drama).


1.
TV series: Sea Patrol
Character: Rebecca "Bomber" Brown
Genre: Action/drama
Rating: PG (?) Borderline M
Word length: 2328
Title: Survival Instinct

2.
TV series: Sea Patrol
Character: Rebecca "Bomber" Brown, Pete "Buffer" Tomaszeski
Genre: Romance (kinda fluffy)
Rating: High PG (?)(Adult implications)
Word length: 643
Title: Warm Enough



If your interested could you post here in this thread. I will luffs you forever if you can help me heart Maybe even a small reward if you're super good at beta-ing
