Beta search

1 -- I'd like a beta in general. Just someone I can send all sorts of fics to at any time (I'm not particularly impatient, though, so if you have a slower turnaround time than most, that's fine).
2 -- Grammar runs really isn't what I need -- yeah, it's helpful to have someone triple-check me, but I taught ESL, I'm a WTP submissions mod, and I MST, so I catch most of my mistakes without any difficulty. What I *really* need is someone who keeps my story focused and tight, because on my own, I'd be perfectly capable of adding all sorts of useless stuff. Basically, if the story sucks, I wanna know.
3 -- Be as mean as you want, I'm not thin-skinned.
4 -- The more detailed you are, the happier I am. I love detailed comments; it helps me know what's good and what's bad.

Wow. I know that's a lot to ask, but even if you can't do all of that, any help would be great. Especially the whole sounding board thing. Basically, that's me with a bunch of ideas going... "Does this WORK?"

Right. A general description of what I write: 99% of it is House/Wilson (occasionally, something else totally out of left field comes. If it's not House/Wilson, I'll tell you the pairing beforehand). Usually it is humorous (at least, I like to think so) and plausibly cute (I do not have House whispering tender nothings in Wilson's ear, I do have him occasionally doing the dishes). I have a lot of shorter fics and a lot of longerfics I'm working on. I prefer to send fics over while I'm working on them to see if they work and to get an idea which direction the fic should go.

Many thanks! (just reply if you're interested)

*looks around then steps forward*

i wouldn't mind being of some assistance. i'm quite the grammar and punctuation nazi. i read thru quite a few scripts, essays and whatnot (my brother makes use of me) so i hav a hawk-eye for typos. btw reading fic relaxes me (that, and math) so u'd be doing me a favour. the more, the better.
wow, didn't mean to ramble. hope i didn't scare you off ^^ if you're still there and interested, let me know.

[nemesishamartia.livejournal.com]

Omg, you ramble too!! I ramble all the time. Like I said, grammar/punctuation is the least of my problems -- it's mainly actual content.

But sure! I could use help!

All my contact info is above... how should I get in touch with you?

[lurker-of-note.livejournal.com]

and yes, i am a closet rambler. i try to stay on point but at times it can't be helped, you know?

[brynnamorgan.livejournal.com]

Got room for one more?

I make a pretty damn good sounding board and if something is "off" (ie it makes me blink funny, go into reverse, pass gas, whatever) I pay attention to it.

Sounds as though you have the grammar, punctuation and style under control - you just need to know if what you're writing is WORKING, right?

If you're interested you can PM me or write at brynnamorgan dot livejournal dot com, etc....
