What pairings do you generally like to write?: Arthur/Eames

How would you describe your fic?: Lots of court (royal not judicial) intrigue. Explanation might take a while, but here goes. Cobb is the king (technically emperor, but w/e) of Cobol Empire and Nash and Arthur are the princes (his younger brothers). Mal is rumoured to have gone mad and lost in Limbo (not dream-Limbo but a place similar to, say, Forbidden Forest, or if you watch the show Merlin, the place where Arthur of Merlin show went to do his quest). Cobb is overtaken by grief and goes a bit crazy himself, so Nash takes over as Prince Regent with Peter Browning, the course sorcerer, as his advisor. Arthur, the youngest prince, is the army's general and a brilliant strategist and has been going on campaign after campaign under Nash's orders. Nash is frustrated b/c he has too many obstacles to be actually crowned while Dom and his son James are still alive but if they mysteriously died, it would be politically too obvious. Also, Ariadne, the previous king's ward and half-brother with Arthur (b/c when Ariadne's father, former general, died, her mother married the king as second wife), Ariadne is publicly 'betrothed' to Nash, but she is refusing to marry Nash b/c she's secretly with Yusuf, the court physician… (I'll skip some details so we can get to how Eames comes in)… stuff happens, blah blah blah, Arthur ends up having to leave and is chased into Limbo where the guards won't follow out of fear. Eames is something of a solitary huntsman who's rumoured to know how to navigate Limbo and is ordered by Nash to bring Arthur, accused of treason and other things like killing Dominic's children and kidnapping Ariadne (none of which he did, of course), back to be executed. Saito and the Fischer family are also involved but it's too much to go into here.

What ratings do you prefer to write?: M/NC-17

What are you looking for in a beta/writing partner? (Grammar, clarity, characterization, plot, story, pacing, etc.): Any involvement at this point. I need to iron out some plot holes before jumping into writing it all out or else this fic will become one of many that sit unfinished on my laptop, and I'd rather not make WIP's a habit.

Is there anything else a potential beta/writing partner should know about you?  I need more verbs...

Non-optional: link to a story you've written that you particularly like: It's been too long...

Story pairings: Arthur/Eames. Both povs.
Projected length (word count): c. 20,000.
Story rating: NC-17. Mature. R. Explicit.
Short story summary: Arthur and Eames do sex dreamwork to uncover a client's repressed sexual urges. They get caught up in the sex.
Do you need this done by a particular time?: By end of January would be nice. Story's not quite finished yet but am getting anxious.
What are you looking for in a beta? (Grammar, clarity, characterization, plot, story, pacing, etc.): I have a beta for the story. What I need specifically is an Ameripicker or Canadian-picker. This is for all of the Arthur pov parts of the story, plus for any Arthur-dialogue.
Is there anything else a potential beta should know about your story? Nothing in particular.
Optional: link to a story you've written that you particularly like: Ichor (Stargate Atlantis fandom.) All my Inception fics so far are short and a bit cracky so don't really give a good indication. But if you want to read one to test me out, try The Imp at the Bottom of the Pool.

Contact Info: If you'd like to lend a hand, I can give you my email or AIM from there.
Story pairings: Arthur/Eames
Projected length (word count): <10k?
Story rating: PG-13, at most.
Short story summary: A look at Arthur and Eames' relationship pre, during and post the Inception job, with a heavy dose of case!fic and magical realism - one of the two has wings, which grow as he falls in love with the other.
Do you need this done by a particular time?: Nope.
What are you looking for in a beta? What I really need is someone to bounce ideas off - I need help deciding who does certain things in the relationship and, most importantly, who has the wings. I also tend to need help writing a particular sentence, or working out which turn of phrase sounds better.
Is there anything else a potential beta should know about your story? My default narrative tone oscillates between incredibly light and snarky, and rather floaty and purple. So I may need help nipping that in the bud. Also, I cannot write angst to save my life. Happy and fluffy is the way I lean. :)

Story pairings: arthur/ariadne/eames
Projected length (word count): 1500+
Story rating: NC17
Short story summary: Ariadne lets slip that she hasn't had a sexual relationship for well over a year. Arthur and Eames decide to fix that.
Do you need this done by a particular time?: No, it's done when it's done
What are you looking for in a beta? (Grammar, clarity, characterization, plot, story, pacing, etc.): Pacing, characterisation and clarity are the main ones I can think of for now.
Is there anything else a potential beta should know about your story? Possibly bondage, but hey, this is an NC17 fic. The more open-minded the better.

Contact Info: narannefic@hotmail.com; I'm happy to use both IM (Windows Live Messenger) and PMs on here as well, though.

Story pairings: Established Arthur/Eames, and non-established Ariadne/Cobb, although pairings will not be a focus. This will be plot-driven.

Projected length (word count): I would imagine this story easily clearing the 20,000 word mark, although it's in very early stages right now.

Story rating: I don't want it to go any higher than a soft R.

Short story summary: Cross-over with a twist (Inception/HP). It's a fill for this awesome prompt at the kinkmeme, in which, during the midst of what should be a straight-forward extraction, Ariadne and the mark get trapped inside a surreal dream-level. The catch is that this dream is a manifestation of the Harry Potter world, except that the main characters have been replaced with the members of the team. Ariadne is the Chosen One, and the mark is Voldemort, and the only way for her to wake up is to finish the journey and take down Voldemort. If she dies, she won't wake, and if the others die, they cannot re-enter the dream, because of the circumstances in which it was created.

Do you need this done by a particular time?: I was going to do this for the scifibigbang, but I dropped out, so, no.

What are you looking for in a beta? (Grammar, clarity, characterization, plot, story, pacing, etc.): Mainly, I really want someone to bounce ideas off, and help with characterisation and plot. Grammar is not too big an issue for me, although if something is off, please tell me. I need a beta that will be brutally honest with me, and has as high expectations of me as I do.

Is there anything else a potential beta should know about your story? It's a cross-over, but like I said, cross-over with a twist. It will also be plot-focused, not pairing driven, although shippy scenes may sneak in. I already kind of have a beta, but am the sort of person that prefers to have more than one opinion.

Optional: link to a story you've written that you particularly like: Unfortunately, this is my first attempt at a chapter-fic for Inception, but there is this very, very angsty Ariadne/Arthur one-shot I'm rather proud of. As for fics by others, I adore aimlesstravels' A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall for plot-fic, and gyzym's Domestic Verse for pairing-focused. (And I could list a lot more, though I am a habitual lurker. Which is bad.)

I'd also love it if someone would be willing to look over any Inception fic I happen to write in the future (and I do have some ideas noted down), but perhaps I should fill out an extra form for that. *g*

What pairings do you generally like to write?: Arthur/Eames, mostly. I'll probably venture into more pairings later, though.
How would you describe your fic?: I'm pretty wide ranged when it comes to genre, specifically. I've written fluff, angst, death!fic, crack, practically everything. I enjoy character development sometimes and I'm pretty crappy at dialogue, too.
What ratings do you prefer to write?: Anything from G - NC-17. I mostly write between the PG - R ratings, though.
What are you looking for in a beta/writing partner? (Grammar, clarity, characterization, plot, story, pacing, etc.): I'm pretty okay with pacing myself, and I always love bouncing ideas off of people, but the one thing I need help with is my grammar and love for overusing comma's.
Is there anything else a potential beta/writing partner should know about you? I'm pretty easy going when it comes to this kind of thing, and I do fill some kink_meme prompts too, so I might need a beta-as-you-go type of beta, too. But I can always write a chunk and then send it if it's easier.

What pairings do you generally like to write?: Arthur/Eames. Though the two of fics I have coming up are a Eames/Robert and a Cobb centric Cobb/Mal. I also have some comment fic that I'm not having beta'd at the moment (because I post them immediately), but will want them looked over when they are complete and I can post them to my own journal.
How would you describe your fic?: Angst. Lots of Angst. Some sexy times. But mostly angst. And some violence. And Angst. And maybe one humor story every now and then.
What ratings do you prefer to write?: R - NC-17, PG-13 is usually my tamest rating because I can't not use bad language it seems.
What are you looking for in a beta/writing partner?: Grammar, Spelling, Clarity. Mostly the spelling and grammar though. I'm bad with punctuation.
Is there anything else a potential beta/writing partner should know about you? I like to hurt my boys. I do write really dark things. I've played with suicidal themes, character death, torture, rape roleplay and violence. Only one of the stories I have in mind is really dark though. The other two are just angst.
Non-optional: link to a story you've written that you particularly like: This is my current favorite story, but it is also a WIP and be warned it involves character death. and then This is a complete story. Angst but not too dark.
Non-optional: link to a story someone else has written that you particularly like: I could list and list and list, but sho_no_tabi 's Glitch and anything by whiskyrunner but especially Requiescat

I'm willing to beta in exchange as well!

What pairings do you generally like to write?: At the moment, I have a preference for Ariadne/Eames, Arthur/Cobb, and Arthur/Cobb/Mal (main project right now is Ariadne/Eames). I also like writing character studies and friendship fics (am working on an Eames/Saito friendship fic). I've written some Arthur/Eames anon on the kink meme.
How would you describe your fic?: I like writing character studies (and relationship studies). Generally, very character-centric stuff. I've written a lot of kinky porn (not in Inception fandom yet, but I likely will eventually). I wouldn't call my stuff "dark," but my interests and writing tend to be more dark than fluffy.
What ratings do you prefer to write?: Anything from PG to NC-17. Most of my stuff runs more in the direction of R and NC-17 (mostly for sex or themes).
What are you looking for in a beta/writing partner? (Grammar, clarity, characterization, plot, story, pacing, etc.): Clarity and pacing, definitely. And flow. I can be overly wordy, and it's helpful to have someone else look at my work and let me know if it flows well and makes sense. In general, I like to know what works and what doesn't, and if the story comes across as intended. I think any feedback can help. One thing I like about having a beta is that sometimes someone else picks up on stuff you'd never think to ask about. So I don't want to place limitations on what type of input I want.
Is there anything else a potential beta/writing partner should know about you? I'm a full-time student, so the time I have for writing varies a bit. I like writing for prompts and signing up for fic challenges/fests. Most of my stories fall in the 2000-10,000 word range. If you want, I'm usually happy to reciprocate by betaing or cheerleading in return, provided I have the time.
Non-optional: link to a story you've written that you particularly like: Don't have any of my Inception stuff finished and up yet, but I'm rather fond of this (note: not implying it's any good).
Non-optional: link to a story someone else has written that you particularly like: I like Again, From Zero by irradiatedsoup a lot.

What pairings do you generally like to write?: So far, I've only written Cobb/Ariadne, but that's only because I've just started :-)  I'm interested in anything well written... het or femme/slash.  Mal and Peter Browning are probably my least favorite characters, but that only means I haven't found the perfect fic yet to make me love them.

How would you describe your fic?:  I think I tend towards plot driven romance.  I've been known to write character pieces and fluff.  I've also been known to write smut, and kink all the way down to G rated gen-fics.  I almost always write things with a happy ending, though I'm not afraid to get dark before I get there.  Dark isn't the same as angst, and I'm not a hug fan of subsuming amounts of misery in a fic.

What ratings do you prefer to write?: G - NC17 I'm all over the place *lol*

What are you looking for in a beta/writing partner? (Grammar, clarity, characterization, plot, story, pacing, etc.): Basic Spelling/Grammar checks, story flow, clarity, tone & pacing.  I would love to be able to discuss story ideas, direction and plot points.  Someone who can tell me when I can do better, when I've missed, or when something 'feels' flat. 

Is there anything else a potential beta/writing partner should know about you? I work full time, so I have some restrictions on my time, I'm online everyday, though, and I'm definitely happy to exchange beta services for beta services.

Non-optional: link to a story you've written that you particularly like:   Imprint is one of my favourite HP fanfics.

Non-optional: link to a story someone else has written that you particularly like:  periwinkled's In Which Our Heros Ride a Train, and it's sequel, Life Goes On.  She has terrific characterizations of both Arthur and Ariadne.

What pairings do you generally like to write?: Ariadne/Arthur, mostly, but I've been looking to branch out into Eames/Robert, Cobb/Mal and character pieces
How would you describe your fic?: My writing, especially in the Inception fandom, has been all over the place. I've written fluff pieces, angst and scene tags. I typically write one-shots (I haven't written anything more than 10,000 words in ages). Most of my pieces are dialogue driven.
What ratings do you prefer to write?: Less than NC-17 because I'm terrible at writing extreme violence/sex
What are you looking for in a beta/writing partner? (Grammar, clarity, characterization, plot, story, pacing, etc.): Basic spelling/grammar checks, pacing, and characterization. I'm looking for someone to discuss ideas with/pull me back when I've gone a bit overboard, tell me when something isn't working
Is there anything else a potential beta/writing partner should know about you?  I have an unhealthy love for the idea that Ariadne/Yusuf are best friends. I don't know if that's relevant. What is relevant is that I'm definitely willing to exchange beta services for beta services.
