Beta Readers (19)

1 Name: anubis !uSezxvwowc : 2012-02-19 23:04 ID:5h0YCiei [Del]

I thought it would be a good idea to start thread with emails for people willing to beta. This way, people looking for beta's don't have to whore around looking for someone who will help them out. I would suggest you put an account special made for this (to avoid trolls) if you do decide to post an email.
Alternatively, if you're an author who wants help with a story just post a short description below and someone can volunteer to help.

I'll start. My email is anubis.muse@gmail.com. I'm a grammar nazi and good at fixing awkward sentences. I can help if you're stuck in a story, too.

>>1 I will email you. At some point. Maybe. Possibly. If i ever get around to it. :3

My email is jeremybelpois@att.net. I specialize in imagery and big words. :P I can expand one sentance into an entire paragraph and have enough freetime to help people who need an editor. :D

>>1 This is a great idea, by the way. Kudos to you for being awesome. This idea deserves some of Bread's sparkles...

>>3, Thank you!

5 Name: Zyshi !wwb/uRI1Ko : 2012-02-22 14:31 ID:ZiSjY0J5 [Del]

Bump!

7 Name: anubis !uSezxvwowc : 2012-03-22 22:30 ID:5h0YCiei [Del]

Okay bumping my own thread here but...I need beta readers, as in more than one. I need someone who will fucking tear me apart, got it? You have to be brutally honest. Anyone up for the task?

8 Name: tsubaki !tfUPvQmpso : 2012-03-22 23:52 ID:AQG2zM7i [Del]

>>7 Feel free to email me! I won't be around for about a week though~

9 Name: raneha!4gwArIGGFw : 2012-03-23 00:30 ID:APPSs6QM [Del]

My email is onixrox@gmail.com. I'm good at sentence and paragraph flow, catching anachronisms, and reducing redundancy. I also just love reading, even if the story isn't the greatest.

10 Name: NaeBree !jAUXc1hruw : 2012-03-23 08:44 ID:Bjx9YXb3 [Del]

>>7 My email has been changed. Its now Breezyskye@att.net

I will tear anything you write apart. I can find mistakes in published books written by well known authors. Im sure i could help you :D

11 Name: BarabiSama : 2012-03-23 08:52 ID:cc/r7767 [Del]

12 Name: anubis !uSezxvwowc : 2012-03-23 13:50 ID:5h0YCiei [Del]

Thank you all, I'll start sending stuff to you when I decide if I'm going to cut certain characters or not.

13 Name: AnubisTheMuse : 2012-04-05 22:59 ID:5h0YCiei [Del]

I put the first chapter to my story on google docs and allowed access to people who posted here. So far only Tsu has checked it out.

14 Name: AeternaAuroraEtCrepusculum!3BjC1sBg5. : 2012-04-07 15:23 ID:5h0YCiei [Del]

I'm all up for beta-ing.

As several others can attest to, I am a stickler for punctuation and word flow.

2 stories at once? Ah well, seems like everyone else is doing it at this point.
But you already know my email.....
So I'll go ahead and volunteer :D

I would beta-read, but I can't read while I'm writing my own book. It would effect my writing too much. I would say I need a beta-reader, but I have this paranoia that someone will steal my idea.

17 Name: NaeBree !jAUXc1hruw : 2012-04-15 18:52 ID:/0kXsfwr [Del]

>>16 Then why post, moron?

18 Name: Kid : 2012-04-15 19:01 ID:biGXXZWL [Del]

>>17
Perhaps as a prospective reader with second thoughts. I hardly think that an insult is any more related to the topic than someone showing interest. I was expecting someone to encourage her to join.

Anyway, I can't speak for everyone, but I don't think these guys will steal your idea. Always great to have a second opinion on your stories.

>>18 I know, I'm just paranoid. I have a friend that's going to read over it for me. I still want someone's idea outside of the people I know that have the same opinions as me. I don't know. I still have a while before I make any decisions. I'm still writing the major scenes.
