Archica

Fluffy the Comic Geek
I am a : Gamma
I write/read: Original fiction. My current project is sort of sci-fi, if it makes sense. I LOVE writing about zombies, and fantasy/sci-fi.
Other : I definitely need assistance with concentration and focus. I would worship you if you've read Max Brooks' Zombie Survival Guide, and/or his World War Z, as most of my zombie stuff tends to draw from him.


KingKidd
I am a : Gamma
I write/Read : I write any Original fiction, while I read mostly Sci-fi, fantasy, or dramas. Oh, and plays too. I love the works of Shakespeare myself.
Other : I need someone to criticize me to no end - make sure that my best is never my best and my best is something better. Point out every single flaw, don't let a mistake pass by, and make sure my work is the best it can be. Cher.


Komi Tsuku
I am a : Gamma
I write : original science fiction
Other : I've been hard at work writing my sci-fi novel for two years now. I've combed it with spell checking and grammar checking fairly well and have cleaned out almost all of the obvious errors. With that said, I'm looking more for a beta who can focus more upon the errors in the story content. I've read it enough times that I might assume things that readers might not get, hence I need some help.

I also need some viewpoints on description level. While I prefer to keep description to a minimum, I, yet again, might have left too little. Pretty much what I need are other people's honest perspectives on things.


LittleCoffinCutie
I am a : Gamma
I write/read : original fantasy. Actually, I'm not even sure that it can be considered fantasy. Uhm, it's a lot like fantasy, maybe urban fantasy? Ugh, not sure.
Other : I really need some constructive criticism and whenever I seem to ask for it, I get replies like, "Good job!" It's annoying. I need someone to tell me truthfully, what needs to be changed.


Ryicii
I am a : Gamma (can't beta myself)
I'm writing: Sci-Fi (Cyberpunk, Hard SF and Soft SF), Horror, Fantasy, poems (not angsty.)
Other : I need help with coherency and consistancy (specifically with tenses). I'd also like help with dialogue, because I seem to have difficulties with it. At least one of my stories involves descriptions of gore/violence- I thought it might be good to put that up front. I'd also appreciate constructive criticism.


Shinobu_Mayl
I am a : Gamma
I write : original (Fantasy, scifi)
Other : I also write stories that will be turned into comics once they are finished. Shattered Dreams is on hold until I can get a Beta for the story.

AttentionDeficitDisorder
I am a : Gamma
I write :fanfiction for Naruto
Other : I'd love a beta who is willing to break my story down and tell me exactly where I've gone wrong and what needs changed. Someone who can help me keep it IC and realistic. Someone who doesn't mind Shounen-ai, as that crops up a bit, and someone who doesn't mind swearing. I love to write and most of my chapters are 7000+ words long xd I also need someone with a good grip on grammer and how to make sentances flow.


Fairgrass
I am a : Gamma
I write/ : fanfiction for X-Men and Rurouni Kenshin
Other :
I am mainly looking for someone to beta read my X-Men (possibly considered a Marvel crossover) continuing story as well as my occasional X-Men one-shots. I already have 19 chapters of the continuing story up so far (which no longer need beta-ing, but it's probably necessary to read them in order to understand the upcoming chapters), so someone with a serious interest in the Marvel universe would be ideal. My chapters usually run about 3,000 words.


JesanaeTekani
I am a:

Gamma and a Beta

I write:

Fanfiction, for the most part -- primarily Harry Potter and Yu Yu Hakusho, but with offshoots into Gundam Wing and Fullmetal Alchemist.

Other:

In general I can correct for grammar, spelling and the like myself, so I'm looking for a content-focused beta who'd be willing to engage me in long, involved conversations and debates about any and every point of interest or contention. I'd need any beta to be able and willing to tackle detailed and unlikely crossovers, weird and philosophical one-shots, one horrendously long work-in-progress with reams of sequel planning, and heavy (but generally not gratuitous) character torture. I tend to get so swamped in my details that I get stuck and can't finish anything, or so caught up in writing plot summaries that I lose my drive for actual fic-writing. I need help with balancing dialogue and narrative. I need help with not weighing my stories down in character development so much that I neglect my plot. I need help with avoiding writer's block so I'm not taking two-year hiatuses (like I've done once before) in the middle of my longer projects. I need help with pacing my stories, and in general learning how to avoid the problems I'm currently having. In short, I need a beta who'd be in it for the long haul, with whom I could develop a friendship and a good working relationship, and who won't mind my obsessive, perfectionist tendencies.

Earwen_Telrunya
I am a : Gamma
I write : Mostly fan fiction at the moment I have a few original ideas but at the moment they’re just that, ideas. I have a few Harry Potter fan fictions going, but there’s only one I’m currently really working on and I use lots of OC’s and it’s a HG/SS (with an above age HG)
Other : Well, English is my second (third actually but my horrible French doesn’t really count) language so I’ve been told I have a few grammar issues as well as spelling, but my spellings-corrector helps me with that.
As I live in Belgium I have a few cultural disadvantages as well like I didn’t really know if people in America knew ‘Ducktape’ so I’d be knocking on your door with those kind of strange questions as well. =)
I also use a lot of OC’s and while I recognize really cliché characters I can’t really tell when they turn ‘Mary-sue’ or when they’re not worked out enough so you’d have to hit me on my head when that goes all wrong…
I don’t really know if my dialogues good because I’ve never had a decent review telling me when I do something wrong or well, whatever. (Besides them complaining about my grammar, but that’s much improved)
I don’t really have any prior experience with a beta so I don’t really have any idea on how to go about this, so I’ll apologize beforehand for my inexperience.


G.W.S.
I am a : Gamma
I write/read : Mainly anime-inspired fantasy/adventure, but also some comedy
Other : I'm looking more for someone to help me iron out inconsistencies with character and plot than spelling/grammar...I'm a Nazi in that department myself. The person should at least be able to tolerate anime, as that's where my main inspiration is. Lastly, it'd help if they can stomach some occasional bad sophomoric humor. xd Fair warning: Sometimes I do write shojou-ai. If you don't like it, let me know and I won't send you those.


Kaarii
I am a : Gamma
I write : At the moment I'm stuck on Bleach fanfiction, but I also write original fantasy. Sometime in the near future I'd like to try science fiction.
Other : I'm not looking for someone to look at my grammer and spelling, I can check that on my own. I need someone who will....

... help me with dialouge. Most of the time I feel like my conversasions are.... lacking, to say the least. I'd like someone who can help me wuth that.
... keep me writing. All too often I hit walls in my writing, so it'd be nice to have someone who I can bounce ideas off of.

And in general just critique my writing. If I'm doing something thats cliche, or you think there's a better way to write that scene. Tell me when things are too rushed, or when I just need to hurry up.

I want someone who can give me good, solid advice.


Leah.K
I am a : Beta and a Gamma
I write : original science-fiction and fantasy and a bit of fanfiction for Pokemon and FMA.
Other : I'm looking specifically for at least one beta to look over my (short) FMA fic, with a focus on the accurate portrayal of canon characters.


kaze no sakura
I am a : Gamma
I write : Original/fanfictions that are generally action/adventure oriented.

Just as a precaution, I'm a pretty extremist writer, so all my peaceful scenes are really peaceful and my action scenes usually get pretty graphic, depending on how large of a scale the fights are. I'm not that big of a romance writer, so a lot of it is toned down and I don't plan on including sexual content in my stories. Nevertheless, most of my stories are either rated PG-13 or R.

In the case of fanfiction I do write quite a few OCs, but I tend to write down the characters' attributes before scanning him/her through a Mary Sue Test. Nevertheless, I don't always trust my judgement.

Types of fanfiction I do write are: Inuyasha, Soul Calibur, a little bit of Harry Potter, even less of Full Metal Alchemist, and Kingdom Hearts. I used to do Rave Master fics, but not anymore.

Other : Things I need help on is toning down a lot of my flowery description and keeping my story organized.

Things like spelling, general grammar, and dialogue, I edit for myself, since those are easy to take care of, but it's okay if someone points out mistakes that kind of slipped through my fingers.

I am looking for a beta who is able to be concise and straight-to-the-point with their critiques. Conversely, I would like them to be simultaneously courteous and objective with their critiques. Tell me what's making my story bad and what's making it good, so I know which side to play up and which side to tone down.


Lemon M.
I am a : Gamma (for the time being)
I write/read : original steampunk fantasy or fanfiction for Digimon, Shaman King, Avatar: TLAB, the legend of Zelda.
Other (Original): Concerning my original work, I have two main stories that are in the process of developing, and I would like advise and opinions on what I have so far. I don’t intend on writing these two yet, since I’m aiming for something really serious and I want to hone them out first.
Other (fanfiction): My current project, which I reaaally want to finish, is a digimon fanfic (and I say that with pride!). I have quite a bit of it written down, but the way the story progresses, and how things are told, somehow feels very wrong to me, and I’d really appreciate somebody’s input on it, even if it’s just a little.


randominuyasha
I am a : Gamma
I write/read : originals of any genre and fanfictions of Inuyasha/Invader Zim/Naruto
Other : I hope to write some Harry Potter in the future, though for now I'm going to stick to working on my randomness story and my multiple fanfictions. I need an expereinced (I hope I spelled that right) beta, for mine knows nothing of any of the things that I write. I didn't know about this place, and she's really messing up my writing, since I keep getting the characters personalities wrong. I hope someone can help, for I really enjoy writing and seeing what other people have to say about it, and getting advice on my works so I can improve my writing skills!


summonergirl001
I am a : Gamma
I write : original Fantasy (or any branch of it) or fanfiction for (Naruto, Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dynasty Warriors, and Kingdom Hearts.)
Other : I want someone to look over my writing, duh. I like it when people tear my writing apart. I've never actually gotten any constructive comments on Fanfiction.net, so here I am looking for critism.
Basically, my spelling kinda sucks but I have spell check so it shouldn't be so bad, I tend to get a little comma happy in my work, and my characters tend to be on the Mary Sue side. Then again Character developement exists so . . . yeah.
Anyway, I hope you come help me . . . eventually.


tatterkin
I am a : Gamma
I write/read : original stories occasionally ; I try to do a range of genre but I steer clear of romance.
fanfiction for Dungeon Keeper, Hellsing, Fruitsbaskets,(manga version only) and I may try my hand at Pet shop of horrors.
Other :While I do take a while to write; I tend to send segments of a thousand words or more. I also have the habit of rewriting and improving on previous chapters. If you want to have a look at some of my work before you decide some samples are in my journal
