Name:Currently untitled
Fandom:Sherlock BBC
Genre of Story: Slash, action, AU
Pairing: Mycroft/John
Rating: Doubt it'll go above R, to be honest
Wordcount: At the moment 10K, might go up to 15/20k
What kind of beta do you need?:Brainstorming, tense check, SPAG, flow, all the things other than brit-picking (as I'm british).
Preferred timeframe for beta-reading:It's due on June 8th (eep!). I can send it in sections, or stick it in GDocs if that makes things easier. I'm hoping to get it finished very soon.
The only thing that may be triggering is there might be mention of non-specific, non-graphic violence.
Deadline is next friday, and so I'll be writing like crazy over the weekend to get it done. I know it's horribly short notice, so I'd be grateful for all and any help!

1. Pen Name: zararose16
2. Fandom (show/book/etc. the story is based in): 1D/One Direction
3. Rating of the story (G, PG, Pg-13, R, NC-17): Looking at PG-13 but may move onto NC-17
4. Spoilers/Time Line (For example: when is the story set in the show? Are there any spoilers for future episodes or recent ones?): It's based on real life people but set in the future. It is most likely an AU story set a few years on from now.
5. Pairing (if there is one): Louis/Harry (Larry Stylinson)
6. Beta Type (Ex: Content Beta, Grammar Beta, etc. This is basically where you tell the community what you want the beta reader to do with this story): I'm looking for a beta who'll be able to help me with grammar, content, language - everything really. It's not that I'm inexperienced however I know I can write much better than I do now and I need someone who's not necessarily a friend to be able to do that i.e. so I know they're not pointing things out because they want to be kind. I don't mind a beta who isn't familiar with the fandom but hopefully if you are it'd be helpful.
7. Harshness (Some people are sensitive, some people are not. Clearly state whether you are open for people who might not be very gentle with your writer heart, but get the job done -- or need someone who couches they're edits softly): I'd like a beta who doesn't say things harshly but freely criticises everything; obviously I wouldn't like to be sent back an email that just lists things I've done wrong but someone who'll be able to guide me too and help me for future referencing in my writing.

1. Pen Name - ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) kalisgirl
2. Fandom - Sanctuary (tv)
3. Rating of the story - PG
4. Spoilers/Time Line - Entire series, set about two weeks after the finale
5. Pairing - none on purpose. There's a mentor/student thing that could be slash if you squint.
6. Beta Type - Brit Pick. The story is written from the point of view of a British soldier who is currently around 35 (Declan MacRae).
7. Harshness - please, be vicious. It's a second person point of view and the voice has to be working class British (and I'm Canadian who was raised on BBC dramas). I'm not worried if you don't know the canon at all - it's a character study, so the voice is what matters. Please, save me from my crazy writing choices.

1. Pen Name: a_q
2. Fandom: crossover between movies X-Men: First Class and Wanted
3. Rating of the story: R-ish or lower; guns/violence but no sex scenes.
4. Spoilers/Time Line: both movies.
5. Pairing: there is not clear pairing as such, but characters are Fox & Wesley from Wanted, Charles & Erik from XMFC.
6. Beta Type: up to beta really - a basic typo/grammar check will do fine, but if you have time/interest to comment on plot, structure, characterization etc. that would be great!
7. Harshness: free to beta according to your own style, I can take it!
Note: This story is for X-Men Reverse Big Bang, and the deadline is June 20th. The story isn't finished yet, but I expect it to land somewhere around 10K. My plan is to finish the fic no later than the second week of June.
If anyone is interested, please PM or comment here. Thank you!

1. Pen Name Bubblesnail
2. Fandom Eureka / BDSM'verse crossover
3. Rating Unabashedly NC-17
4. Spoilers/Time Line I'm thinking seasons 1-5, time compressed. Massive spoilers for the whole series.
5. Pairing Het, slash, and Artificial-Intelligence/Human(/Human). Endgame: (probably) Allison/Jack, Zane/Jo, and Holly/Fargo (which is weird, 'cause I'm a die-hard slasher).
6. Beta Type Content/Brainstorming beta. Ideally, I'd like someone with a fair grasp of Eureka canon to comment on some plot elements. At this stage, I'm more in need of a cheerleader than a heavy-duty beta'ing. Required: enjoy BDSM fics, open to non-OTP pairings. (One component of the BDSM'verse (re: Xanthe, et al) is that all people are bisexual and the major "choice" is if they are a Dom/Sub/Switch/Non-Dynamic.)
7. Harshness At this stage, gentle. Once there's fic to read, fire away.

2. Fandom: Avengers movie/comics
3. Rating of the story: NC-17
4. Spoilers/Time Line: None; set in an alternate universe

7. Harshness: It's my first story in more than a decade, so be gentle, but tell me what I need to know

Pen Name: one_shot_wonder
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: G
Spoilers: None
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Beta Type: I'm looking for someone who can check for grammar mistakes, give opinions about content, sentence structure, and overall quality. A Brit-picker would be fantastic, and anyone who grew up in the 80's(since this story is set in that time period) would be much appreciated.
Harshness: I'm actually looking for someone who can be harsh. And specific, I'm looking for someone who can be as specific as possible.
Notes: The piece I want beta'ed is fairly short, about 1,325 words, and is set in the year 1988. It's completely AU, there's still magic, Harry's still, the boy who lived, but neither of those elements are mentioned.

Spoilers: Vague spoilers up until season two episode nine.
Pairing: Kurt/Blaine
Beta type: Grammar, especially typo-checking

Note: I am Australian, and hence use British, not American spelling. It would be appreciated if any potential betas are familiar with traditional English spelling over American.

pen name : optimouse
fandom :Avengers/Captain America
rating : Undecided. Probably T -M
spoilers / time line :post capt. america, perhaps into the Avengers
pairing :gen, maybe Bucky/Steve
beta type :I'm looking for someone who is aware that this piece is for the BDSMBigBang, and is quite willing to question my meta work on the fact that this piece is set in a BDSMverse, preferably someone with either theoretical or practical knowledge of some of the sociological work in the area. A beta who also could give some advice about the strengths of my backstory for the story, as well as SPAG and chronology work.
harshness : Constructive criticism, please.

pen name : ![[info]](http://l-files.livejournal.net/userhead/58?v=1320914175) russiantorque
fandom : Historical Fiction - 1800s Romantic Composers
rating : Undecided. Probably PG-13 or R
spoilers / time line : None. Set in 1830-1840.
pairing : Franz Liszt / Frederic Chopin, Primary.
beta type : I'm not asking for a classical buff, but some knowledge would be nice. I need someone who will support me through the process of writing for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=92.2) rpf_big_bang, kind of like a cheerleader who will light a fire under my ass for deadlines and read through the story as it's written for grammar mistakes and content inconsistencies. It sounds like a lot of work, but really, I'm just looking for someone who's willing to read through the development and make sure I stay on track.
harshness : Rip into me like a woman with a chocolate pie. Don't pull any punches.

1. Pen Name: vascopyjamaa.k.a sychofrantic (from fanfiction.net)
2. Fandom: An x-over, BtVS with That 70's Show
3. Rating of the story: Could go from G to NC-17, this will be a long one.
4. Spoilers/Time Line: Based on a challenge known as Jackie the Vampire Slayer. Set after 'You're my Best Friend', season 8 of T70S, then goes AU from there (with possible repetition of familiar circumstances). Pre-season 1 of BtVS, so you'll see some vamps and Watchers, but no Scooby gang.
5. Pairing: Possibly Jackie/Other, Hyde/Other during, but most likely just Jackie/Hyde
6. Beta Type: I mostly need help with commas, run-on sentences/paragraphs, tenses (eg. I get my had and has mixed up too much) and general plot. Apart from that, nothing is essential if the fic looks good.
7. Harshness: I would prefer a harsh beta with experience, no rudeness unless it's clever. Any will do though, really. If they fit the beta type above.
Just as an addition, this will hopefully be a long fic, so make sure you can be arsed lol. The genre will mostly be humour, romance and supernatural, and hopefully be fun to read.
Thanks!

1. Pen Name: Zinnith
2. Fandom: Avengers movieverse
3. Rating of the story: PG-13
4. Spoilers/Time Line: Major spoilers for the Avengers movie.
5. Pairing: Ambiguous Clint/Coulson/Natasha
6. Beta Type: Standard ESL-stuff. Grammar, prepositions, word usage and sentence structure, etc. Thoughts on plot, pacing and characterization are welcome but it's not my main issue.
7. Harshness: Constructive criticism is appreciated.
The story is a ~5k movie fix-it.
If this sounds interesting, please feel free to contact me with a comment here, via PM, or send and e-mail to zinnith(at)gmail.com.

1. Pen Name: trollmela
2. Fandom: Miami Vice (TV)
3. Rating of the story: Pg-13
4. Spoilers/Time Line: Post series
5. Pairing: none
6. Beta Type: Content and grammar beta. I'm not perfect as far as grammar and punctuation is concerned, so that's important. As far as content is concerned, I need to know whether the story makes sense and is believable. It's 17k long; I don't have a posting date yet, but it will be June 10th at the earliest. Knowledge of the series isn't absolutely necessary, but would probably help you understand who is who and what the characters are dealing with.
7. Harshness: I prefer the softer approach, but I'm not asking you to lie or forgive anything.
2. Fandom: Hawaii Five-0 (2010)
3. Rating of the story: Pg-13 (one might be a mild R)
4. Spoilers/Time Line: One set in season 1, the other in early season 2
5. Pairing: One gen, the other Steve/Danny
6. Beta Type: Grammar and characterization. It's my first time writing Hawaii Five-0 so I'm looking for someone who can spot when I go out of character. Both stories are under 1,000 words.
7. Harshness: Same as for the first one.
If you're interested in any of these stories or would like more information, please contact me via PM or comment here.

1. Pen Name: sentbyfools
2. Fandom : BtVS (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
3. Rating of the story: NC-17
4. Spoilers/Time Line: None. This is an all werewolf AU.
5. Pairing: Buffy/Angelus
6. Beta Type: I mainly need a content and grammar beta, someone to catch my little grammar mistakes and to tell me if I need to expand or cut down on any scenes.
7. Harshness: I can take whatever you can dish as long as it's constructive. Flaming is not okay.
Summary: After her father dies, Buffy runs away to LA. It is only supposed to be a short trip, a getaway to sate her blood lust, but she stumbles upon the hunting grounds of Angelus, renegade of the Aurelius pack and alpha of his own. As the pack alpha and according to pack laws, he can punish her in any way he sees fit. The problem is all he wants is to keep her, and Buffy is not one to be kept.
PM or comment here if interested!

1. Pen Name: Revenant
2. Fandom : SPN (Supernatural)
3. Rating of the story PG-14
4. Spoilers/Time Line: None. This fic is an alternate-universe story that takes place when Sam is 17. He and Dean are not brothers.
5. Pairing: Sam/Dean
6. Beta Type: Looking for content and also grammar beta, hopefully combined in one person, but potentially in two separate betas.
7. Harshness: My writer-heart is pretty sturdy. I am interested in hearing and entertaining any suggestion that may work to improve the story, so long as that suggestion is not something like 'never write again' or 'don't ever post this'.
PM for further details or if you are interested.

1. Pen Name: yume_no_tsuzuki
2. Fandom: Harry Potter
3. Rating of the story: R, I suppose? The story contains slash and torture as well as mentions of past abuse and rape.
4. Spoilers/Time Line: Goblet of Fire, 4th year.
5. Pairing: Harry Potter/Voldemort and Harry Potter/Tom Riddle
6. Beta Type: Flexible. Grammar is the most important, but I'd like some prompts and feedback concerning character development, flow of the story and any plot holes you might find. Preferably someone who works fast, but I can wait.
7. Harshness: Anything goes, really, so long as it's actually helpful and constructive.
Title: The Other Half
Story summary: "I am yet I am not Harry Potter." A split personality and it's Harry's complete opposite. Twisted, evil, dark and cruel. The day Barty Crouch Jr. met Harrison, the Light might just have lost it's last hope.
Contains slash, graphic violence and torture, dark character.
I have 10 chapters of 21 written so far, out of which the first 7 had a beta. (Unfortunately she has vanished.) They're posted on archiveofourown org under the penname YumeNoTsuzuki.
If you're interested, please email me at yume_chan@live.co.uk
