Looking for a beta

[shamir-26.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone,

I've been writing in this fandom for about six months and posted my fics either here either on ff.net.
I've been juggling with the idea of looking for a beta for quite sometime and finally decided it's high time I did it.

Right now, I am looking for a beta reader for a one shot -which likely will become part of a series, with a chapter for each character of the show-.
The main character of this chapter is Reid, it's mainly character introspection, no smut, no slash, no interaction. The story takes places just after the episode 'Corazon' (6th series)
It's a short story (roughly 1000 words) and I would incredibly appreciate some help with the language and maybe some feedback...

Please let me know :)

Thank you!

Hey there - I'm happy to beta for you (you can check out my beta profile on FFN - same username); I may have times when it will take me a few days to get back to you, because of work obligations, but I'm usually pretty responsive. Let me know if you're interested! (and you can check out Ch. 1 of Double Take if you want to get an idea of my own style)

Hi! Thank you very much for the fast answer!

I'm very much interested; I checked your stories and definitely like your style.

My main necessity right now is to have someone who can help me polishing the language. Not being a native I'm sure there are some things I do wrong and my vocabulary is often narrow, so even looking for synonyms, I'm never sure whether I'm choosing the right one...
Of course any critics and feedback (even the most merciless ones) are also very welcome.

Said this, I don't have a clue on how the 'beta-process' works... I guess I have to send you a doc-x over ffnet.... ?

Sounds great! I prefer to edit by offering suggestions and explanations (Like, "usually this word is used in this situation") - so I think that will work well for you! I guess just send over doc-x or you can email me a document to my gmail address - I can pm you with it!

I can beta if you like. Done it for some time in several fandoms and am just starting here in CM.

Hi! Thank you so much for answering!
Right now I've found someone already, but I will surely consider your offer for the future :)

Cheers!
