JeninaTopic: The Betas To be a beta, you must do the following things:1) You must be absolutely COMMITTED to the author that you are beta-ing for. You cannot just disappear for several weeks without notice once you and your author have reached an agreement because that is plainly unfair to the author. 2) Fill out this form in a reply to this topic: Name: Username: E-mail Address: Preferred Genres: Language: Preferred Length: Past Experience: Additional Comments: 3) If you no longer wish to be listed on this topic, please contact me (Jenina) at skowawards@gmail.com or PM me through my username and I will remove you off the list. --- If you want to request one the betas who have replied to this topic, then contact the beta using the PM system provided by FictionPress, or contact them by e-mail with "Beta Classifieds" as the subject. Also, be reminded that while we do not require you to give credit to your beta in your story, betas always appreciate it when they are recognized in some form or fashion for their work. | #1 Jan 19th 2008, 3:17pm .

JeninaName: JeninaUsername: Jenina E-mail Address: sweetsalvation@gmail.com or skowawards@gmail.com Preferred Genres: specialize in Romance, Fantasy, and Young Adult, but no preference Language: English, although I do understand Tagalog (Filipino on here, I guess) and quite a bit of Latin Preferred Length: no preference Past Experience: I have beta-ed for a few good friends on FictionPress, and for WolfMoon on FanFiction.net. Additional: I don't tend to focus on grammar and punctuation (although if I see something wrong, I will definitely point it out). I am here to help you iron out your plot if you feel it's completely jumped the shark on you or if you just have no idea where you want to go. Basically, I'm more of a concept beta than a technicalities beta. Currently: Not accepting any more beta requests until I clear up my schedule a bit more. You can contact me and I'll let you know when I'll be more available. (: My beta-ees are showcased proudly on my profile. You can look at them there. | #2 Jan 19th 2008, 3:24pm .

your harborName: Samantha.Username: your harbor. E-mail Address: xxthatssosamxx@hotmail.com. Preferred Genres: Romance. Language: English. Preferred Length: No preference. Past Experience: During my years in high school (I'm a junior in high school, by the way), I've looked over papers, but unfortunately that's as far as my experience goes. Additional Comments: I'm determinated and dedicated and easy to get along with. |

Four and Twenty BlackbirdsName: EmilyUsername: Four and Twenty Blackbirds E-mail Address: emanahan@maine.rr.com Preferred Genres: I generally prefer Romance or Young Adult, but I'd be up for anything. Language: English Preferred Length: No preference Past Experience: I have beta-ed for several authors on FanFiction.net. I've also edited some friends papers. Additional Comments: My strengths are grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary, but I'm also relatively good at the other aspects of beta-ing (flow, content, etc). I am usually quite prompt; it rarely takes me more than two days to return a chapter to its author. | #4 Jan 19th 2008, 4:23pm . Edited Jan 19th 2008, 7:17pm | |

NarcName: JessieUsername: Narc E-mail Address: jmayerov[at]umd[dot]edu (modified to kill spam) Preferred Genres: Fantasy, science fiction, some supernatural, romance, and YA Language: English Preferred Length: Novella or Novel (50K-100K words) Past Experience: I've participated in critique groups and I'm very active on critiquecircle. Additional Comments: I give my full, honest opinion. I'm probably not the best person if you're just looking for a copy-editor to fix commas and typos. Also, I'd prefer to work with a story that's pretty far along in terms of writing, because I have no idea where I'll be next year. I graduate from college in May and enter into active duty. | #6 Jan 19th 2008, 4:58pm . Edited Jan 20th 2008, 5:22pm | |

concerto49Name: If I told you one, would you believe it? If so, I'll tell you.Username: concerto49 Email Address: PM or concerto_49@yahoo.com Preferred Genre: What's good. Language: English (I could try to say French or Chinese let's say - but you could imagine the results) Past Experience: Edited heaps of things. Well, let's say I can find flaws in almost most things unless they're really good. It's because I'm pretty picky, and prefer high quality. Additional Comments: I'd prefer if you at least have a sample of your story up. Mainly I'd only beta if it's good. Let's say you could give me something and I'll tell you if it's good or bad. If it's bad I won't continue - it means you should go back re-plan, fix anyway. Yes, I do sound pretty harsh - but if you want it to be good, it means it can survive everything. | #19 Jan 28th 2008, 1:12am . Edited Feb 09th 2008, 11:37pm | |

Gossamer HeartName: ShonaUsername: Gossamer Heart E-mail Address: nyx_lady_night@hotmail.com Preferred Genres: Sci-fi/fantasy, non-fluffy and non-drippy-angst-ridden romance, action/adventure, suspense, mystery, and any combination of the above. Language: English, Spanish Preferred Length: I draw the line at 50 chapters. That's just insane. Past Experience: Beta for fanfiction for three years, editor for fiction for five years. Grammar and spelling editor for my class for five years. Additional Comments: I'm a stickler for correct grammar and spelling, especially in English. I find plot holes with ease. I'm also extremely sarcastic and this can be a turn-off, so I'm giving fair warning. However, I'm not cruel or mean and I always find the wonderful in everything. | #20 Feb 21st 2008, 3:52pm | |

no ones listeningName: I'll tell whoever I'm betaing :)Username: no ones listening E-mail Address: noneslistening@gmail.com Preferred Genres: romance, young adult, humour, drama, anything i guess, but preferably not fantasy.. Language: english Preferred Length: any Past Experience: going over essays for friends at post secondary and university level, beta-ing a few of my friend's stuff Additional Comments: I'm quite dedicated to reading and its what I do when I have nothing else to, so helping out would be great! I study Psychology at university and took English as one of my A levels which I got a C in, which is pretty good considering that only 0.08% get an A and not much more get a B. So yeah, I'm quite competent :) If anyone wants to know anything else just PM me. I focus mainly on spelling and grammar but I'd be willing to help with anything else too | #21 Feb 29th 2008, 5:20am | |

theflyingcrabsareeatingmyhairName: Known to some as "flipper". Call me what you please.Username: theflyingcrabsareeatingmyhair. If you want some spaces: the flying crabs are eating my hair. E-mail Address: Just PM me. If you're really desperate for my email, it's on my profile. Please don't email me unless it's a beta request. Preferred Genres: I'll do anything- my goal as a writer is to write something for every genre. Preferred Length: However long it takes for you to get your beautiful tale across. I'm a pretty fast reader, so I can handle long stories, and I like reading closely, so I can give you a dense analysis on the short stuff. Hit me with whatever you got! Language: Fluent in English and French, and I know a lot of Latin. I can also handle small amounts of Japanese, Croatian, Italian, and Portuguese...and I'll soon be ready to do a little Korean, if all goes as planned. If you want a laugh, send me Spanish. Past Experience: I beta regularly for my friends and I'm currently betaing for about seven or eight people on this site. I'm marked down as being unavailable for betaing because I'm trying to catch up with all of them- being a full time student and having numerous family issues tends to get me bogged down sometimes, though I've gotten pretty organized lately, so I think I'll be finished soon. I'll accept more requests just as soon as my spring break starts. Additional Comments:- | #22 Mar 01st 2008, 1:52pm . Edited Mar 16th 2008, 10:03pm | |

x-Cassidy.Joelle-xName: Cassidy Username: x-Cassidy.Joelle-x E-mail Address: Preferred Genres: Young Adult, but I'm okay with pretty much anything. However, things like Science-Fiction, Western, Manga, or Biographies are not my strong suits. Language: English. Preferred Length: Any. Past Experience: I edit papers and stories for my friends as well as my own. Additional Comments: I prefer to read over your story once to get a feel for what is happening, then go over it again, fixing things. However, if there are any changes other than mere grammar or spelling, such as changing things around, taking things out, etc., I will discuss it with you before making the change(s). Once I show you the edited version, I will talk with you (if you'd like) about things I have changed and why, hopefuly allowing you to change these things yourself in the future.

AmorelleName: Deanna Username: Inari-Chan E-mail Address: Preferred Genres: Fantasy, Romance, General, or anything else you want to throw at me I'm up for ^-^ Language: English Preferred Length: Anything is fine from oneshots to novels I'll help ^-^ Past Experience: Mainly I just read a lot and I love English.

EsseveraName: (Classified. Sorry. :) ) Username: Essevera E-mail Address: Preferred Genres: Romance that's a given. Also some drama and young adult. No fantasy unless you're really confident. Language: English. Je ne peux pas parler espanol. For your sake, I will not say I speak Latin. Preferred Length: No preference. However, it would be great if you send me a story that has yet to be posted. Past Experience: I have beta-read about nine stories total. Right now, I'm no longer busy. I look around for the typos and sentence structure. After seven days, you should receive the beta reply that identifies the typos and opinion. In less than forty-eight hours (but really twenty-four), I can reply to any PMs. Additional Comments: Beta-reading I believe will help me become a more effective and confident writer. It may never compare to my love for writing, but it is still one of the top things of my list. If you would like to request me as your beta, e-mail or PM me. | #30 Jun 26th 2008, 1:00pm | |

Poetess111Name: Jess Username: Poetess111 E-mail Address: Preferred Genres: Romance/ Action&Adventure/ Historical Fiction/ SciFi/ Fantasy Language: English (and Spanish for the most part) Preferred Length: Long.. multi-chaptered stories, series Past Experience: I read.. a lot. Additional Comments: I'm not a grammar nut. I'm very quick and not that creative (so don't worry about me hijacking your story). I'm best at pointing out inconsistencies/typos, working with pace, and awkward phrasing. I think that I'd be best for someone who just wants another opinion, someone who is editing completed works, or who is writing in English and that isn't their first language. Ideally I'd like to work with someone who updates frequently. *Note* I will be out of the USA from July 15, 2008 until January 15, 2009 and am not completely sure what my internet situation would be like. (After and before that I'm online constantly- and I'll be online during that time period so don't be afraid to contact me in that stretch..) | #31 Jul 01st 2008, 4:47pm | |

criti-sizedName:- Dorian Username:- Criti-sized Email Address:- Preferred Genres:- I don't have any specific genres. I've beta-ed from Fantasy to Supernatual, to even Slash stories. Language:- English Preferred Length:- As long as it's not twenty paged chapters, I'm fine. The length of the story is no problem. Past Experience:- I started first by giving simple advice to people, then moved to editting, now I beta. I've done many stories, but mostly for people that aren't on FP anymore, and two have stories of Lulu.com. Additional Comments:- I love beta-ing, but am looking for someone that's actually willing to take my suggestions and isn't interested in simply gathering reviews. Though I can ignore it, it will eventually annoy me that the person is only after attention. | #33 Aug 02nd 2008, 8:19pm | |

One Last KissName: Kadie Username: One Last Kiss E-mail Address: Preferred Genres: Romance, Humour, Young Adult, Drama. Any rating, from K+ - M. Language: English Preferred Length: Anything, from chaptered stories to one shots. Keep in mind that the length of the chapters will effect the amount of time it takes for me to beta read. Past Experience: I'll be honest, i've never beta'd for anyone before other than looking over the odd essay here and there for my friends. I'm really enthusiatic about it though and i think i have a really good grasp on spelling and grammar and sentence structures and the likes. Additional Comments: I'm on the computer multiple hours everyday so i have plenty of time to beta read your work and will, in most cases, get your work back to you in no more than a day or two. I feel that i should point out though that other than the spelling and grammar stuff i tend to re-work any sentences that i feel are awkward or just plain wrong. Of course as the author you'd have final decision on any changes to be made. I hope you'll consider me for your story :P | #34 Aug 03rd 2008, 8:31pm | |

JaseyxRaeName: Kitty Username: kitty.xo E-mail Address: kittyxo[at]ymail.com Preferred Genres: Romance, Humor, Young Adult, Supernatural, and Fantasy. Those are my favorites but I'm open to anything! For romance, I'll take het or slash - but no femslash, please. Sorry! Language: English (and a very limited amount of French) Preferred Length: Any length! Past Experience: I used to edit some of my friends works (they posted on Quizilla, FP, and FF). My teachers made me drop out of regular English and join Honors English (I'm a junior in high school). I edit my friends school papers and essays often. My mother is a grammar freak and would always correct my grammar as I spoke - I've definitely taken after her that way. I'm addicted to reading and have been my whole life! Additional Comments: I'd love to help with not just grammar and spelling, but character consistency and plot development. I'm very available and looking forward to beta-ing! I should be able to get back to you very quickly. I'm dependable and looking forward to helping! | #35 Aug 18th 2008, 9:22pm .

Languages: English, and some Spanish (I doubt I could manage a full story in Spanish, but some Spanish dialogue here and there is fine). Preferred Length: Anything is fine. Past Experience: I am an unofficial beta for my friends snowdance-lyghting, Innocence of Chaos, and Shadowspiritgirl. I have also recently accepted a beta request from firstbloom13.

AliarcyThe Super Awesome Beta Thing-A-Mah-Bob of Aliarcy! Name: Let's don't and say I did. ;) Username: Aliarcy E-mail Address: Penandinkdrabbles(at)hotmail.com but, you know, I also respond well to pm's. :3 Preferred Genres: Romance, humor, action, mystery, suspense, thrillers, etc etc. :3 There's not much I wont beta. Language: English only, sadly. I'm learning Spanish but I must say I absolutely dread it. Preferred Length: Well, I love long, well written, captivating stories. And short, cute little one shots. And then there's the really awesome--)Rambles(. Pretty much anything, basically lulz. Past Experience: All right, lets see. I will, even if it does make me want to hide in a hole, admit that when I started beta-reading it was in fanfiction. And, no, that's not why I'd like to hide. :3 You see, I thought I was all high and mighty in my grammar and whatnot but completly didn't realize that I didn't have a clue about critisism. Heh. So, taking a break from there and writing my own stuff I met up with some people who actually did know what the heck they were talking about and were nice enough to teach me. (And kick my writing in the rear while at it). So, here I am, happily back and with some actually idea as to what I'm going to be doing. Additional Comments: I'm pretty dang friendly; it tis kind of sad when that's one of the best things you can think of, eh? But, anyways, I think that having a beta-reader that isn't just doing it for themselves and actually likes you (and, hopefully, your story) is a serious advantage. I'll give it my best shot! PS: You should use me as your beta. You know you want to. ;) | #39 Oct 17th 2008, 6:24pm | |

BolaName: Elisabeth Username: CSI Ballistics E-mail Address: Preferred Genres: NEARLY ANYTHING- General, Romance, Humor, Drama, Poetry, Adventure, Mystery, Horror, Parody, Angst, Supernatural, Suspense, Fantasy, Spiritual, Tragedy, Crime, Family, Hurt/Comfort, Friends Language: English, Dutch, Latin Preferred Length: This doesn't really matter for me... Past Experience: Yes- English, and Dutch... Additional Comments: I just love to beta and if you want to 'hire' me, just send me a message on here with the basic things - fandom, title, summary, characters and rating - and I will get back to you as soon as possible, this should be within 24 hours. I don't have any trouble with Dutch or Latin either. I'm not unmistakable, though. BASICALLY, there isn't anything I really won't beta. I'm a very patient human being, and I do beta in three languages - Dutch, Latin, and English. I'm only able to beta limited in the last one, though. English is not my native tongue, and I'm just not able to beta these aspects of a fanfiction which need a better knowledge of English than I have. I'm able to put my finger on huge errors, but I just oversee the little ones, especially if these boil down to sentences... I think I'm actually best at words, and the reality in your fanfiction, characterisation. It usually takes me less than a few days to beta, but if the fanfiction's longer, I'll need more time to read through it as well; but it gets done! ;) I just beta how the ones that I'm beta-ing a fanfiction for want me to; I usually highlight things in different colors and put my corrections/thoughts behind it, between brackets and in red italics, but if anyone wants me to beta their story different and mention this, I will do my best to beta like that. I also do my best to give people suggestions to continue writing if having writer's block. | #40 Nov 09th 2008, 8:49am | |

DanBan.EName: Call me Dani Username: DanBan.E E-mail Address: danban.e(at)hotmail(dot)com (This is my special beta email. For beta requests, email on this.) Preferred Genres: Romance, Young Adult, and a bit of Fantasy. Language: English, and some Hebrew. Preferred Length: I'll do whatever! Past Experience: Extreme peer editing in school, and I went to a "smart camp" where we did intense grammar, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization practice. Additional Comments: I'll do anything with romance or young people in it, basically. I'm currently accepting beta requests, and even thought I don't update my stories much, I am very consistent and fast with beta-ing. I tend to notice characterization and grammar the best, but I cannot stand when someone has bad punctuation or capitalization. ** me off. Thanks! | #41 Dec 07th 2008, 5:29pm .

ReaderTurnedWriterName: Joana Username: ReaderTurnedWriter E-mail Address: (contact me if you want it...) Preferred Genres: Romance, Young Adult, some Fantasy Language: English, some Portuguese & some Spanish Preferred Length: Doesn't matter Past Experience: None really, but I do peer edit at my school a lot and I edit my own stories so I guess that might count. Additional Comments: I'll do basically anything with romance and young adult drama. I like some fantasy, but would like it if it involved romance. What can I say, I just love happy endings. I have some stories, but I don't update them that often due to the fact that I have extreme writers block at the moment and am never really content with how the chapter turns out. I'll be an awesome beta if anyone needs one! Thanks! =] | #42 Dec 22nd 2008, 11:31pm . Edited Dec 22nd 2008, 11:34pm | |
