Any kind beta out there...?

Postby Leocentaur » Sat Nov 26, 2011 9:14 pm

Hi Everyone!

A very nervous newcomer here, a keen reader who's had a try at a story of her own but would be really grateful for a beta to take a look at it to see if it would be suitable for inclusion on the site.

This is my first dab at getting any fanfic published so anyone who offers will have to expect mistakes I'm afraid - but I hope someone will be kind enough to offer!

Hi :)

We have a thread for searching beta readers -> here

When it comes to the story, I might help with a hint or two, but I won't be much help in terms of grammar and spelling, because I'm not a native speaker. Oh, and welcome to our little hideout :D

You might generate more interest in being your beta if you give folks a little taste of what they'd be getting into -- I recommend you post a few paragraphs from your opening, and give at least a rough idea what the story will be about.

Do you have any feel for how long the story is likely to be, and over what timescale you'll be writing it?
