Number of Betas Needed:I imagine 1 would be sufficient.

Title of Story: Life as We Know It

Genre of Story: Romance (subgenre--angst)

Language of Story: English

Length of Story: so far it's 4 chapters and ~1500 words, I have absolutely no clue how long it will be when it's done/

Additional Comments: I've written a lot of fanfic before, but this is my first original story. I edit my own stories pretty well I think, but I definitely miss a few mistakes every chapter. Here's what I'm hoping for in a Beta...Someone with very good grammar/spelling and someone who is willing to tell me what they think and guide me but who won't try and dictate the direction of my story. If you think that's you, please feel free to e-mail me. Thanks.

concerto49
Name: I'll tell those that beta ( you wonder? )

Username: concerto49

email address: concerto_49@yahoo.com or PM

Number of Betas Needed: 1 to 3 (story is virtually complicated and really tricky)

Title of Story: Elegant Emotions

Genre of Story: Fantasy/Sci-fi plot Romance/drama/Action-Adventure storyline (everything actually - tends to be more fantasy/romance)

Length of Story: Just started writing after 2 months prep, at least 20 chapters of ~1600 words. Thought of a lot of content, see what happens.

Additional Comments: I want to rectify the view that there are too many cliched highschool romance out there. We live in our lives taking too many things for granted. Beneath the common world is a lot of mysteries waiting to shock you. Allow me to turn highschool drama until a scientific experiment into humanity. Grammar and spelling can be fixed, but wrong ideas not so easily. I realized I turn a bit wacko developing female leads as happened in the past, so might need help with that. Anyway, if you're interested, please check out the story itself and then contact me. Thank you.

Number of Betas Needed: 1-2

Title of Story: Logically Illogical

Genre of Story: YA Romance

Language of Story: English

Length of Story: Depends

Additional Comments:

My story's going through complete overhaul, which I know is unfair to my readers. So, if you're one of them, I'm really, really sorry. I already have one beta, but I'd like extra input. The only points I require of a beta is to be online to discuss it with me, help me with plot in general and character development, since I concentrate way too much on humour and be good in English.

Oh, and I type in UK English.

That's all.

Cheers,

Lizzie

Title of Story:The Glen

Genre of Story:Mystery (subgenre Romance)

Language of Story:English

Length of Story:It is currently nine chapters and 22,000 words long. According to my outline, I plan for it to stop at 20-21 chapters.

Additional Comments: Let's see, I don't have problems with spelling. I do tend to forget commas sometimes while writing but I think I'd like a beta to mostly search for plot holes, whether a chapter is too descriptive or doesn't have enough dialogue and basically fool around with plot ideas. The Glen is meant to be a second book in a series but a stand alone book in its own right so it would be great to have someone who hasn't read the first book (Road to Array) and can point out things that don't make sense, places where it seems like i'm assuming the readers have read the first.

That's pretty much it.

Thanks

Username: A Perfect Sonnet

E-mail Address: Just PM me, please.

Number of Betas Needed: One would be great, but if multiple people were interested I probably wouldn't turn them down.

Title of Story: Blood On Our Sneakers

Genre of Story: Romance - Humor/Drama

Language of Story: English

Length of Story: It's currently 5 chapters and a prologue: 18,237 words long. I would imagine it will be between 20 and 30 chapters by the time it's finished.

Additional Comments: I want a beta who will mercilessly tear me apart. I don't need someone who will sugarcoat their opinions for me, I want honesty. Spelling/grammar editing is nice, but mostly I need someone who will focus on the content/understandibility of the story and the characters. It would also be helpful for the beta to be into offbeat stories and to not be easily offended. There is some harsh language in the story and a couple of my characters are completely shameless.

Important Information About The Story: It's written around the concept of having a mostly unrelatable/extreme main character who can often be downright unlikable. She is not perfect and she is not your tradition FP heroine. This is balanced out by (hopefully) having interesting, developed and likable secondary characters for the readers to relate with. Also, the romance is not the only/main plot in the story -it's a duel plot with something that will be revealed in Chapter 8. (I'm excited! It's going to be so much fun.)

Also: I'm trying to be more consistent with my updates, but I can get intensely busy between school and work.

Thank you and take care! -A Perfect Sonnet

Additional Comments: I would like someone who is willing to be honest with me, tell me exactly what they think about my story and such.

Personal weakness include grammar and typos, however I do want someone who will critique my storyline and my story. And summary of story if you're interested is: Elishelle grew up in her little village away from the rest of the world. All she ever dreams of is to travel, yet her family forbids it.

Title of Story: Across The Hall

Genre of Story: Romance

Language of Story: English

Length of Story: I'm currently on the first chapter (~4600 words) but I plan to finish it at 24 chapters.

Additional Comments:

Let's see.. I work best under pressure. I'm from Indonesia, so English is not my first language. I have problems with grammar, but my spelling is quite well. I need a beta who's honest, could help me with my grammar and occasional spelling mistakes, and wouldn't mind giving second opinion on the continuity, plot, character's arc without dictating where should I take my story. Oh, and I have a bad habit of not updating my story due to laziness and procrastination. A beta who could help me break that nasty habit of mine is preferable.

Thank you!

Language of Story: English

Length of Story: 22597 words (six chapters posted) four more chapters written, I'm planning to do around twenty.

Additional Comments: I would really like a supportive beta...my grammar is something that I struggle with so I would adore some help with that, along with the usual look at character development etc. A kick in the back-side from a beta would be really helpful to. The story itself has elements of MM, but right now, it hasn't moved into the foreground.I really want to finish this story, more than anything and I'd love some help!

Additional Comments: It's my first original story (I used to write fanfiction), and living in Indonesia has limited my access to English-language books. So maybe I'd need a harsh critiquer or a grammar nazi. Thanks very much..!

Title of Story: Jamie and the War

Genre of Story: Romance

Language of Story: English

Length of Story: unknown

Additional Comments: I believe that I have fair grammar and average spelling; hence, I believe that editing my story should not take too long and should not be painful to read. The main problem I have with my story is that occasionally I have a missing letter, such as 'he' when I meant 'the', and sometimes I have 'course' when I mean 'coarse'. Thanks for considering being my beta.

Title of Story: Stalking Satan's Spawn's Stalker

Genre of story: YA Romance/Drama

Language of story: UK English

Length of story: first chapter is 4,558 and each chapter will probably be around that length. I'm not completely sure on how many chapters there will be...20-25, most likely, so around 100K

Additional Comments: I think I'm okay with grammar and spelling...but obviously I'd want that checked...but I mostly want a Beta who will advise me on character development, language, description, speech, plot-the actual content of the story. And honesty is the best policy.

The first chapter is already up but I can delete that if it's for the best...and then post it up again when it's Beta-ed

Also, if anyone's able to Beta any of my other stories...then that's fantastic

Genre of Story: Romance/Humor/General

Language of Story: English

Length of Story: Um, long. Right now I have five and a half chapters finished at about 3000 words per chapter. I'm guessing it's going to be around 30 chapters.

Additional Comments: I like to write cliches. A lot. So my beta needs to be someone that can appreciate a cliche but at the same time recognize when the cliche needs to end. I mostly need help looking for grammar mistakes I missed and making sure my characters don't all sound the same. I don't outline (at all), so I might need someone to give me a swift kick and make me write.

Length of Story: There are currently only two chapters posted although I have a ton of random scenes written and chapter three is nearly done. The plot is outlined though not completely finalized. I would say it'll be near 20 chapters long.

Additional Comments: I need someone who can help me improve my story, not just find all the places where I forgot commas or used the same word eight times in the same paragraph. I'm quite open to critique as long as it is not harshly delivered and ideas on how to fix it are provided.

Thanks so much!

Length of Story: 6642 words - 13 chapters posted (chapter 14 written)

Additional Comments: I'm really sensitive about this story, and normally I would ask for advise on this forum, but they can be harsh and I don't think I could handle their comments. I've worked really hard, trying to make it perfect and staying up until 4am re-writing it. So, it's my baby, the one that might actually get finished. I've given up all the others, but not this one.

Here's the summary:

Megan forgets everything about it. Then she moves to a different town. And that town changes EVERYTHING. It brings secrets and maybe even her memories back. Either way, Megan's life will NEVER be the same again...

Title of Story: Clutched On

Genre of Story: Action/Adventure/Romance (and slices of strange humour).

Length of Story: For now, it's impossible to tell. I usually stop around the 20 mark, but for this story I already know it will be longer.

Additional Comments: My old lovely beta for this story has too many things on her hands - this is why I'm seeking a new person here.

I used to write on FF.net with all my stories being written in third person. My genres on that account was mainly romance, drama and humour. With this story, it's written in first person so I still have yet to adjust to it. Also, it is my first time writing an Action/Adventure story.

So this is hopefully where you come in to help me. My grammar isn't always perfect and I tend to do a few typos. Though, I have come to the conclusion that I do want to improve. I don't mind critique. Don't be afraid to pound me with it, but remember to give me the appropriate reason to why you feel it doesn't fit in.

Other than that, I think that I'm reasonably (I hope) okay to get along with. Since I'm fairly busy with my uni course, you'd only have to beta once or twice a month. Thanks!

Additional Comments: My story's not posted yet on Fictionpress, but it's about a girl who's stuck in a love triangle with her dead ex-boyfriend (who's a ghost) and the bad boy of her school (he's alive, in case you're wondering). From my betas, I'd like it if they're really observant about my grammar and spelling (I do check my own spelling and grammar, but sometimes the eyes go amiss) - and most important of all, that they understand my characters well enough to tell me when they do something really out-of-character. If you're still interested in beta-ing my story after this, then please contact me via my email :) And any queries, feel free to send them to me. Thank you!

Length of Story: The shortest chapters are like 4000, and the longest so far is the one I'm working on at 15000 so far. I think I'll be splitting it into two chapters, because that's insane... I'm planning around 31 chapters, not including Prologue and Epilogue.

Additional Comments: The story has been up for awhile now, and it has fans (but 90% don't review, so I can't tell if they're reading it still or not *groan*). It's the first novel I've ever loudly declared, "I will finish this one." And the people who do read will strangle me if I don't, so it's going to the end... It's my baby.

The basic premise of the thing is that this girl buys a book, is reading it, and ends up in another world- I know it sounds cliche, but she doesn't go into the book, so that kills that cliche. And she gets two guys in that world in love with her, plus her lifelong friend back home that she knows quite well is in love with her. And she's part of a prophecy, meets all sorts of people, and I love working on it.

I don't have Internet at home, so e-mail beta is bad for me, by the way. It'll just have to be read by betas upon posting.

Thanks! Arianna

Length of Story: 6 Chapters

Additional Comments: I need some one to help me with my horrid grammar, and occasionally my spelling (which isn't as bad). Of course my beta is probably going to need some patience to deal with my writing, because I tend to switch from first person to third. Thanks!

Additional Comments: I've already posted one chapter of each story, so just check my profile and email me if you think you'd be interested. I have the next chapter for one of them written, so we could get started right away. I have no writing deadlines so go at your own pace. I also don't update super fast so I won't be emailing you a thousand times.

Title of Story: Ketchup Stains and Random Chatter

Genre: Romance - It's supposed to be humorous as well but we'll see how that goes.

Language: English

Length of Story: 3595

Additional Comments: I'd also like someone to critic the one-shot aside from help with grammar and spelling. It's rather short as you can see but I'm not sure if I wrote enough. If the story goes way too quickly, ect. Thank you.

Number of Betas Needed: Probably just the one, but I might decide on more to get a varied opinion.

Title of Story: Once Upon an Eternity [This title is subject to change]

Genre of Story: Romance - Fantasy/Mystery

Language of Story: English although there will be the odd line in another language, for which a translation will be offered.

Length of Story: When finished, it'll be between 30 and 40 chapters, ranging between 5,000 words and 7,000 words per chapter. This may change, depending on your advice and how the story develops.

Additional Comments: Alright, we've all heard of NaNoWriMo and this year I'm participating (yay me?) so, considering the fact that it is only the beginning of November, the story I want beta-ing won't be ready until the end of November, and even then it'll only be about half finished. I can offer to send you my writings as I go along this month but it'll be severely unedited, terrible and confusing so I won't have a worthwhile copy ready till the first week of October. However, I can offer an overview of the story, a brief description of the characters and show my previous work, should you be curious as to where my writing skills lie currently. I have one chapter of a story up on FP but after much consideration, I realised the plot just didn't work. You may read that, if you wish, to gauge a rough idea of my talent (or lack-of). I have FF stories too, if you'd prefer looking at those instead.

So yeah, just let me know if you want to hear more. ^-^

E-mail Address: (kind of juvenile, I know, but I've had this since I was ten)

Number of Betas Needed: One is sufficient, but two would be awesome. Or three or four or five, and so on. :)

Title of Story/ies:

-From Clueless Girls to Arrogant **

-The Guy Called Jack Sanders

-[untitled] an upcoming story

Genre of Story: All romance. Some drama and humor.

Language of Story: English

Length of Story: Chaptered length.

Additional Comments: I update chapters weekly (and occasionally bi-weekly,) but when schoolwork piles up I fail to meet my set deadlines. Ah, procrastination...

I'm a grammar fiend, I abhorr those stupid, awful mistakes so most likely I won't require help in that particular field (save for the occasional typos. Heh.) But if there's one thing I absolutely suck at, it's PACE. PACE. PACE. Sometimes I accidently rush things and events so it all ends up confusing, and readers go like, 'huh'?

My other weakness: I'm absolutely helpless when it comes to dissecting my characters' personalities and analysing them. I find it hard to make them feel "real", if you get my drift. And, it's rather embarassing to point out, but I find my writing style quite immature. Hopefully someone can help me out in these aspects :)

Also, I'd prefer my beta to be much less of a procrastinator than I am :D Thanks.

Help is much appreciated!

Love,

curse the stars
