My Entry From SGA BETA

[kimberlyfdr.livejournal.com]

Category of the fics you'd beta: Action, Humor, Drama, Team, Fluff, Slash, Gen, Mpreg, KidFic, Deathfic, PWP, Gender-bender, Crackfic, TeamFoursomes, some AUs...and probably other categories I can't even think of right now

Category of the fics you won't beta: Het, Threesome, BDSM, Non-con

Pairing of the fics you'd beta (if applicable): John/Rodney most definitely, but secondary pairings like Teyla/Lorne, Teyla/Ronon, Keller/Ronon, Elizabeth/Zelenka, Parrish/Lorne (or pretty much Lorne/Anyone), and many other pairings I can't think of right now are greatly accepted

Pairing of the fics you won't beta (if applicable): Ehh, pairings that have John or Rodney but aren't McShep? Usually not my thing.

If not pairing oriented, character fics you'd beta: Any character fics are a-okay with me! Rodney's my favorite :)

If not pairing oriented, character fics you won't beta: Not Keller-centric please ;)

Type of beta you'd do: I do pretty much everything--grammar, spelling, plot, canon checks, etc.

Length of the fics you'd beta: Any size, but the longer the fic the longer it will take me to beta :P

Sounds like you might be perfect for me. :D Would you be willing to beta what is going to be a definite slash AU with at least one of your preferred pairings? I haven't started writing yet, but so far in my head the story will have some darkish (maybe more like insufficiently lit) elements, but will be full of romance and have a definitely happy ending.

Re: My Entry From SGA BETA

[kimberlyfdr.livejournal.com]

I'd be willing to give it a try :)

::Secretly hoping for McShep::

If you would be so kind as to give me an email where I could contact you, I will happily give you more details. ;->

And thank you very much!

What pairings/genres you're willing to do: gen; McShep; OT4 and permutations thereof. McKeller and Sheppard/Mitchell are only ok if they break up.

What are your strengths as a beta reader? meticulous pickiness; knowledge of science and technobabble. Especially good for historical AUs and period speech & detail. My basic beta philosophy may be gleaned from this icon.

What kind of turn around time can someone expect from you? one day per 10,000 words.

fic categories willing to beta: slash, gen, het, team, friendship, character-pieces, humor, angst, deathfic, crack, romance, apocafic, action, AU, crossovers as long as I know something about the other canon. special loves: robots, zombies, unicorns.

fic categories less willing to beta (except for the 2 or 3 writers I do read in that category): hard kink, mpreg, kidfic, partner betrayal, superschmoop, 1st-person POV, 2nd-person POV.

pairings willing to beta: lots. any within the team, but also outside the fab four. more reluctant re pairings involving Cadman, Woolsey, Caldwell, OCs. definitely no pairings involving Kavanagh, Kolya, or Lucius please.

type of beta: spelling and grammar, Ameripicking, continuity/plotholes, characterization... um, ask busaikko?

length of fics/turnaround: under 2500 words, usually a day or less, longer than that a few days; if I have schedule constraints I'll let you know. I'm probably best for fics under 25,000 words.

[kaworu-renritsu.livejournal.com]

Would you be willing to beta femslash? I'm not mentioning the pairing here, because it's the only request for for it. The fic won't be very graphic, PG or PG-13, R at most, probably 4000 to 6000 words (a little more than 2000 at the moment), 3rd-person POV, set in the period from The Gift to Duet, but low on action as the character whose POV I'm using is neither military nor 'hard' scientist. I'm not sure about the genre, but I have a suspicion it's leaning toward romance and slice of life (at least as much as a story dealing with The Siege can).

As for the type of beta, I need pretty much everything you mentioned. I'm not a native English speaker, so spelling, grammar, and Ameripicking are more than necessary, and some critique on characterization and/or plot would be nice, too.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Sure -- contact me via email please and we'll work it out. :)

fic categories willing to beta: slash, gen, team, friendship, character-pieces, humor, angst, crack, romance, apocafic, BDSM, action, AU, special loves: AU, military and cars/tech.

fic categories less willing to beta: under-age, deathfic,

pairings willing to beta: lots. any within the team, but also outside the fab four. more reluctant re het.

type of beta: spelling and grammar, continuity/plotholes, thrashing out the plot

length of fics/turnaround: if I have RL kicking me I'll let you know. Will do almost any length of fic.

[kimisgirl.livejournal.com]

Hi there, I'd love a beta! No one I know reads sga fic! They're all supernatural fangirls :P so yeah, I'd love one please XD

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

If you could leave some info - pairing, genre - about the story you're writing, it will help any potential betas who might contact you.

(Or, you can see if anyone who has already commented here and offered to beta will beta the type of fic you're doing.)

[kimisgirl.livejournal.com]

Opps! Yeah that would be a good idea right!

Ok, pairing is Zelenka/Lorne, it will be an AU, first time, romanace, a little angst, a happy ending, probably PG maybe R at the most!

Hope that's enough info, don't want to give too much away :P

Thanks

[sam-gamgee.livejournal.com]

I'm willing to beta pretty much anything. My only two NOs are McKay/Keller and anything that's non/dub-con.


I also need a beta. I need someone who's willing to read an NC-17 non-McShep story. It's going to be on the light and fluffy side.

[squeakyoflight.livejournal.com]

I would be THRILLED to beta something that is NOT McShep!!!

squeakylightfoot AT gmail DOT com. :)

And I am super fast and pretty damn good. Just ask Taste_is_Sweet. ;->

(Although I clearly fail in the modesty category...)

I will need at least 3 days to ensure a complete beta though, perhaps more if you're veering into Big Bang wordcount.

Hope that helps?

Squeaky

[sam-gamgee.livejournal.com]

It definitely helps! :-D

And so far it's definitely going to be on the shorter side, so no worries of it going into Big Bang Territory (which my fics have been known to do). (I guess doing Nano and another Secret Santa are good for something. :-P)

[squeakyoflight.livejournal.com]

Not sure if you got my emailed reply so...

Perfect!

Please send when you are ready. :)

[sam-gamgee.livejournal.com]

I did get your earlier comment about beta-ing. And I'll get to you as soon as I'm done. :-)

[squeakyoflight.livejournal.com]

My breath is baited!

Squeaky.

(Are you done now? How 'bout *now?* Now?)

[sam-gamgee.livejournal.com]

Okay, it's been sent.

I hope you enjoy.

Happy to beta slash!

[padfootthegrim.livejournal.com]

Bring on the slash! I'm happy to beta it. Or gen. All ratings. Just no het please. :)

Happy writing!

Beta needed for f/f

[mandykaysfic.livejournal.com]

I have ~1,400 words of f/f, PG-13 I would think. There is mention of past het relationships, but it's only an acknowledgement they existed.
I need someone to check my commas are where they should be, spot where any words have disapeeared that I swear were there when I first typed them etc. Set just post S5, but refers to incidents in S4/5.
