Looking for a beta

[dangermousie]

I am looking for someone willing to be a beta for a Roswell story.

I have an outline for most of it already. It will be about 10 parts, set after "Graduation." Unusually for me, it won't just be meta in fanfic form, but actually have a plot and everything (I'll give more details to whoever agrees to beta for me :D). I don't usually use betas (just reread fanatically) but since this is going to be much longer than mine usually are, methinks I need a beta.

Just because I know people are picky about shippiness and stuff, I am going to be upfront in saying it's going to be Max/Liz-centric (duh), but will have other canon couples (i.e. Michael and Maria). Except I am bringing back Ava and she might end up with Kyle.

I will start writing it as soon as I can (i.e. tomorrow) but won't post it anywhere public until I figure out how to resolve the plot (I've got it all figured out until the climax).

Help, kind people :)

I will be very grateful. Promise.

question: whats a beta? sorry if thats a dumb one. :-/

beta is someone who proofreads your story. Basically they make sure the spelling and grammar is OK, the flow is good, the characters are OK, and it's canon consistent.

I wish I were far enough along watching to read it for you! I'll bookmark it when it comes out for when I'm done with the series.

Thanks!

I'd love to...but I'm up against 2 fic deadlines in the next week, plus RL. If it can wait until...say, the 12th, I'd be more than happy to volunteer. 8D

It can definitely wait. I'll be working on it by myself first anyway.

Thank you!!!!

I'd love to beta it for you, but I do have to mention that I'm not a native speaker of English. Still, I do regularly review YA books & manuscripts in English.

Woo-hoo! I would love for you to beta for me!

I am going to create a filter just for you and poisontaster where I can post my outline (I don't want to start writing until I can figure out how to resolve the cliffhanger I am stuck on).
