Beta Readers

Listed here are the people who have volunteered their time for beta work. A beta reader performs similar tasks to an editor, someone who will give your work the once over and check for errors. There are several different levels of beta reading, ranging from a quick spell and grammar check to a full plot and characterisation analysis, and you should determine with your beta your requirements when you first approach them.

To become a beta reader please send me an email listing what fandoms, ratings and kind of beta-ing you want to offer.

Name: JK
E-mail: driedfrogpills@hotmail.com
Fandoms: Law & Order: SVU; Birds of Prey (TV only); Popular; The Devil Wears Prada; Voyager (preferably not B/7); Bad Girls; Murder in Suburbia; original. Also willing to give most things a try so check first.
Offerings: I'm Australian so I can do most American or British-isms; General editing- Plot, Grammar, Spelling (I will use Australian English unless otherwise asked), Flow, in-story continuity, etc. etc. I am however a bitch about unnecessary adverbs and adjectives (just to warn you). Not brilliant at Canon though.

Name: KKftKK
E-mail: buffy_scoobygang@hotmail.com
Fandoms: South of Nowhere, Buffy, Law and Order:Svu, Nikki and Nora, All My Children, D.E.B.S., Grey's Anatomy, Hospital Central, House, M.D., Xena

Name: Dani
E-mail: giacomplex@hotmail.com
Fandoms: Buffy, CSI (Las Vegas), DEBS, Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy, The L Word, NCIS, Private Practice, Scrubs, Wicked, Women's Murder Club, and Xena.
Offerings: Spelling, grammar, style, characterization, continuity... basically the whole nine yards. I was editor of my middle school and high school newspaper, participated in numerous spelling bees, minoring in English... overall, I just love language. I was always the one that people (friends and people I didn't know alike) would go to for editting, grammar, or ideas. All that jazz. But do not be fooled by my obvious eagerness to read and help. I'll be the first to tell you if anything sounds out of character, your plot is going no where, or the flow is as rampant as an enclosed lake. I'm known to push out A quality research papers in one sitting so if you need something done in a hurry, I'm your girl. So either way, give me a chance. You most likely won't regret it.
