I need a grammar/spelling beta for part 2 of my story The Journey. Mary who read it offered to do it, but the email address she left me does not work and she's doesn't seem to be a member here, so I need someone willing to check this over for me. There are 10 chapters (5000 - 7000 words each I think) in this part already completed and I'm thinking of taking what I had put in a third part and adding it to part 2 and ending the story in 2 or 3 chapters.

Some of you may be excited...and some may be ready to butcher me for taking so long to finish the next story.

Either way, I need betas! Anyone who wants to beta 6-04, email me at writerchick87@gmail.com.

Hooray! :D
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

So today is Thursday, and I'm going to push to have "The Nature of Things" done by Monday. (No promises but that's the goal.) Anyone up for taking a look?

OK I'm slightly nervous. I don't know why I have done this before. OK I need a Beta for my fic "May We Together Become Greater Than the Sum of Both of Us" My spelling and grammer are in bad shape. And I generally like to bounce ideas off people. Also I need someone who knows a lot about Vulcan Culture. I really want to portray that as accurately as possible. Oh and someone who knows dialog from episodes would help. Thanks.

I can't help you with the other things, sorry, but episodes' dialogues are easy. Here are the transcripts of the series.

Okay, taking my courage in my shaking hands. I have never written anythiing exept for a few reports and messages.

I would like to write.

What I need is someone whio can read an example of what I have written in my mind and put down on Word Pad.

Mostly to tell me if I should pursue writing. Grammer, Punctuation and sytax needs a good deal of help too. I am dyslextic with a rare form of Dyslexia.

I read very well though.

If I can connect with some one and send them a sample of what I have writen so far I would apppreciate it.

If all Beta readers are busy I understand and will bring up at a later date.

Awe I wish I could help truly I do but my own grammar and syntax are awful. But if you just need encouragement let me know. Really the first time is the hardest then you just get addicted. Why don't you try some of the challenges. They are fun and it doesn't have to be perfect.

Thank you Warpgirl but would like to do it slowly. See if I can get a BETA reader
who will be honest with me and offer some concrete suggestions.

I'll take a peek. If it would take like a quick read, less than an hour, I can help you.

Justtrpn. Have sent you my effort via PM.
