Strengths: English major, good speller, good at grammar, fairly quick reader, love editing on computers
Weaknesses: Don't use semi-colons enough, in fact rarely
What ratings will you do?: Any but I'm not too good with too much sex or gore.
What couples will you do? (canon, un-canon): Um not sure what this question is but I prefer traditional man/woman couples but woman/werewolf/vampire is fine too
What Fandoms will you do?: Twilight, Harry Potter, Jane Austen (is that a valid answer?)
Will you do crossovers?: Maybe

Do you write? (link to own fics): Used to

Looking for a Beta reader/Editor for my original fic "Keys of Mystery", to improve grammar, vocabulary and possibly spelling. (English is not my first language).
I'm in the process of re-writing the chapters I already have online, since at the moment I don't have a lot of time, updates will be a bit slow.

"Keys of Mystery"

Hi Snowstone, what's it about? I might be interested.

It's about a 18-20 year old boy/man who finds out all the creatures he believed to be part of films and imagination are real. He discovers he is not simply human but half human/half demon, not one, not the other, not both and all at the some time (confusing I know I'm still developing that idea). He teams up with some friends, some he knew other he makes along the way and ends up in a kind of cold war between Angels, Demons and Humans. Prophecies, books with all the knowledge off the universe watches that turn into armours and some creepy children.

I hope you find it interesting. Also just finish re-writing the second chapter.

Name: Sarah

Beta Experience: I used to beta quite a bit back in the day when Dawsons' Creek was popular so yeah..it's been a while

Strengths: Communication for one. I'll talk about your story with you till I'm blue in the face if that's what ya need. I don't like betas who arent easy to talk to. They're there to help you. I love changing sentences to sound better. Fluff up a sentence. I also won't sugar coat things just so you'll want me to beta your stuff. I'd want someone to tell me if my story sucked, so I'll do the same. In the nicest way possible

Weaknesses: I'm not the best with spelling.

What ratings will you do?: Any

What couples will you do? (canon, un-canon): Pretty much any

What Fandoms will you do?: Possibly any. Just ask me

Will you do crossovers?: Maybe, if it's good

Availability: I"m online all day long

Do you write? (link to own fics): I do http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5165636/1/3_am And I'm in the middle of a longer story but it's kicking my backside so...

Name: Ann

Beta Experience: I am an English teacher, so you're in reasonably good hands with me. For several years prior to this, I was a staff writer for an international non-profit organization; I've a great deal of experience in proof reading and editing, though not specific to fanfiction.

Strengths: Grammar, punctuation (I'm an apostrophe fiend), word choice, spelling, sentence and paragraph structure.

Weaknesses: I tend to be quite cranky before my morning coffee. Oh, wait, you mean BETA related? While I'm extremely well read, I don't watch much TV at all. Hardly any, really, so I may not have the familiarity one would expect with characters and settings in fanfiction--I wouldn't be likely to catch mistakes in those areas.

What ratings will you do?: I would prefer not to do NC-17. Anything below that, I'm fine with.

What couples will you do? (canon, un-canon): Canon only. I can't suspend my disbelief enough to read non-canon pairings.

What Fandoms will you do?: Twilight, and possibly others though you'd have to ask me to determine if I'm familiar enough with a particular fandom to tackle it.

Will you do crossovers?: It depends, again upon whether I'm familiar enough with both to do the work justice.

Availability: Varies, depending upon how many papers I have to grade at any given time.

Do you write? (link to own fics): Yes, though up until very recently it's all been non-fiction (at least that's what I've been paid to write). I've only just begun to dabble in fanfiction. You can read my writing and my bio here.

Hi. I am looking for someone. I have a few story ideas and have one little piece posted on my fanfic profile.
