I'm offering up my services as a beta reader for all and sundry! If all you want is a spelling and grammar check I'll gladly beta for any fandom, I'm a native English speaker so that's no problem for me.

I'm happy to help with plot and characterisation as well, though obviously this is much easier to do when you're familiar with the fandom. I've been involved in a lot (A LOT) of fandoms over the years so it's worth asking me if I might be able to help you out, particularly if you're writing fic for any TV show.

At the moment I'm mostly involved in kpop fandom, I'm willing to beta (beyong spelling and grammar) for fics featuring SNSD, Shinee or pretty much anyone on YGE

Need mclennon beta
by Thayna Linhares (stawberry69)

I have a fic that needs betaing!
The fic is Mission Mclennon :

Rated: NC-17
Summary: A normal Tumblr fangirl finds her reality has randomly been transported to not only the 1950’s, but also to Liverpool. She ends up going to the same school as John and slowly growing closer to her idol. Over time she takes as her mission to make John and Paul realize their hidden love and make sure that they end up together. Well the only thing that she didn’t count on was how incredibly hard headed john was and just how much homophobia there was back in the 50’s and 60’s.
Type: Comedy, romance, drama, AU
Pairings: Roxie/john, Roxie/Paul, John/Paul, Roxie/Astrid, Astrid/Stu…

If you are interested just submit your email to me, I have it in my google docs so it can be edited in any computer, iphone and (i think) android, also there is a chat window there where you can ask me things.

Please help me out here.

PS: also looking for ilustrations.

Hello~

I'm not taking any summer classes and have quite a lot of free time. I haven't beta read anything for a while and might be a little rusty. I am willing to beta for any kpop group, jpop, and jrock. I'm open to other fandoms as well, just ask and I'm sure we can work something out. I will beta any genre except for mpreg ( I may possibly make an exception depending on the story).

Feel free to send me a message. ^-^

looking for a beta
by unverdorben (unverdorben)

Hi everyone, I´m looking for a beta for one story only - around 30.000 words in total. Not that I would mind a permanent beta but those seem to be very rare these days...
My grammar tends to be a bit awkward at times and my wording isn´t always the best, so I do need a native speaker to rub my face in it to make me learn better;). I´m fine with any degree of harshness (I prefer brutal honesty, though) and I don´t mind you taking your time as long it doesn´t take forever.

Genre: angst, romance (definitely not of the sappy kind)
Rating: R/ NC-17 (no extensive smut)
Warnings: slash, twincest

Any question? Please pm or comment!

Many thanks,
unverdorben

Looking for permanent beta (and offering services in return!)
by ʀei (vintagealpaca)

So I'm looking for a permanent beta reader to have on hand, partly for minor grammar errors I may make (I have tense issues), but mostly for insightful feedback as I have been told that I'm great with plot progression but kind of horrid with characterization (and that I overuse clichés a lot). I currently write only for EXO and Super Junior, but I may dabble into Beast sometime in the future. I need someone who will be comfortable reading any pairing (within each fandom, no crossovers as of yet) and any rating (my past fics were rated under PG-13, but I'm intending my future ones to include mature topics and/or smut possibly). I write once in a blue moon and am slow as a snail while doing so, so the position isn't really demanding since I'll most likely be throwing a fic at you only once every couple of months.

In return, I'm also offering up my services as a beta. I have an excellent grasp of the English language (minus my occasional mistakes, but I legit bought a grammar book and I'm hoping to rectify that weakness soon) and have experience workshopping other people's writing. I'm only willing to beta for EXO, Super Junior, and Beast (but I guess I may be convinced into editing for other fandoms as well). I'm comfortable with any pairing and any rating and will read practically anything (although I'm not a fan of OC stories or genderswitch). There are some subject matters that I may be uncomfortable with reading though, so you'll have to make sure to let me know if there's especially sensitive/graphic material in your fic.

I can be contacted either through PM or email at vintagehourglass[at]gmail[dot]com.

beta reader

Hello, my name is Ava, and I am looking for a semi-permanent beta reader. I write frequently, but this highly depends on how busy I am (i.e. exams) and whether I have any inspiration.

Pen name ava_lava
Fandom(s): Mostly Super Junior, but I branch out once in a while. Usually, I write Zhou Mi/Kyuhyun, Han Geng/Heechul, and Kangin/Leeteuk, but on occasion I decide to do something different.
Genre(s): I am highly fond of sci fi and AUs. Seldom will my characters actually be in canon situations.
Rating(s): Almost always it will be PG-13 or lower. I hardly ever write smut, and when I do, it is subtle.
Harshness: I like really harsh betas, ones who do not care for tact and just get straight to the point. I don't need encouragement or sweet words; I want somebody to tell me what's what and (if needed) yell at me until I get the point.

Please message me is you are interested. And even if you aren't, message me anyway because I love making new friends. 

Many thanks,
Ava

Beta for a fantasy EXO fic?
by jaejee (jaejee)
at December 19th, 2012 (06:09 pm)

Hey there.
I'm writing a MAMA based high fantasy fic, and I could really use a native speaker who could go over my grammar, spelling and punctuation. I don't really need any help with the plot or characterization, though-- got it all covered myself :)
The fic is OT12, and it will most likely stay that way (though there will be bromance). I have 4 chapters written already (15,000+ words) and there are many more to come, but I won't be posting the stuff for a while, as I want to write more before I post the first chapter.

I need a person who would be quick (1 week for a chapter or something),  seeing as I just need the grammar and the likes fixed (and I don't make that many mistakes either). And I also need someone who will be able to stick witgh me for awhile (but I write pretty slow, mind you) :) You can find the prologue of the fic on my journal (which is a lot blander than the real fic).

So, help, anyone?

I need someone to help me read over and beta a (currently) 14K+ Kyuhyun/Hyukjae/Heechul fic. Just spelling mistakes and grammar a little cause I tend to overlook these things a little even after reading it again and again sometimes, like spelling errors and misplaced words here and there. It's not actually finished cause I intended it for NaNoWriMo but I didn't have enough time and I guess I still have a long way to go from the ending but suggestions and criticism are genuinely appreciated. Fic is college!au, cross dressing!Heechul and has other SM fandoms incorporated too.

This would all be a great help so thanks <3

Hi! Beta Wanted.
by Nyx aka Kendayawind (kendayawind)

Hello! I need a beta, whether it's one-time or permanent, it'd be nice to have some help ^^.

For the beta, a good grasp of the English language, able to fix grammar and spelling mistakes and alter words to make it sound/flow better.

I mostly write one-shots for the most part, but am slowly leaning towards chaptered series as of late and put myself in a ton of self-made challenges. I'm fine with how long it takes for it to be beta'd, I understand time constraints ^^.

Fandom: I write mostly from SMTOWN: Super Junior, DBSK, Exo and some het pairings (smtown/f(x). They tend to vary and I write plenty of rare pairs for the fun of it. Occasionally I write stories outside such as Ryotego, Baekren etc etc.

Pairings: Mostly yaoi, no ot3s and some hets. I write too many pairings but tend to prefer rare pairs over the OTPs in most cases. Can check out my list of pairing tags to get a good grasp of it. If you can't with some pairings or would like to only beta a few particular, that's fine with me too.

Genre: I mainly write romance, but varies from small fluff to drama/angst. Lately I'm more into the latter.

Ratings: PG to PG-13, I still haven't and don't plan on reaching NC-17/R anytime soon (don't think I'm cut out for it.)

Warning: I haven't done rape, excessive violence or incest, sometimes there is alluding to subjects for a few stories but that's about it. My stories are random, cliche. I doubt I'll ever write an epic blockbuster sort, I just write for the fun of it.

I'm the type of author who can't answer questions to my own errors, I draw a blank whenever I reread my own works and can't understand the errors though I know they're there. My previous beta who's currently buried in school work atm, knows this personally and has stopped asking me questions at one point. I know its impossible to read my mind in the beginning, and I'll try my best to answer them.

tl;dr: I have no real understanding of grammar, and it shows.

Please PM if you're interested. ^^

Offering two opportunities to beta~
by Kwak Soo Jin (sm_gongju)

Hi, everyone! I'm actually I'm basically looking for a beta for an EXO fic that I'm translating from Chinese. It doesn't matter if you don't know Chinese, I just need someone to go through and makes sure everything is okay-- grammar, spelling, flow, ect. I don't actually know what's going to happen, what the pairing is, and what rating it is since I literally am translating and reading at the same time.
I'm also looking for a beta who can help with brainstorming, grammar, spelling, flow, ect for a new story that I'm planning. It's actually not ANY fandom right now, but will most likely only include select members of SMTOWN.
I know the two are sort of long-term, but if you can only do 1-2 chapters, that's okay too.
As you can tell, I write/translate mainly from the EXO fandom, but honestly, I'm pretty open to all fandoms. As for pairings, I don't have a set pairing, and sometimes, I write character-centered fics instead.
Ratings... I don't like going over PG-13 unless it feels like it's heading in that direction.
I hate writing smut, so don't expect any of that. As for dark themes... I don't like writing those either. I DO, however, like writing angst.

PM me, tweet me (@sofiiandthings), or email me (writeandthings@me.com) if you're interested or want more information on anything!
