    Hey,
    I was wondering if I could get anybody to beta my chapters, and generally look over my notes to see if anything could be done better.
    I would prefer it if they were most familar with Australian English or...what would you call it, England English, rather than American English, but since I'm asking, I'm not going to be picky.
    I can be pretty poor with grammar and spelling sometimes, so a second pair of eyes to read over my work would be handy, plus another opinion on how the story should go next is always useful.

    If anybody's interested, please post here, and I'll PM when I've decided.

    Sincerely
    Shezza88

    Shezza, if you go on the IRC, you'd get a bunch of people who'd give you feed back on the fic. It's like having a bunch of betas!
    Try it!

    You know... we REALLY should have a Beta request thread that PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE.

    Just my thoughts.

    IRC is a good place for feed back. You get to argue your point better and get honest answers.

    Yeah, but arguing your twists and spoilers in front of 20+ people kinda ruins the surprise, doesn't it?

    That is why the PM feature rocks, you go one on one until something comes up that can't be sorted out between two people, then you turn to the hounds, er, i mean the rest of the IRC.

    I'd do it, but it depends in what capacity.

    a)How often would would you be writting chapters?
    b)What kind of editing are you looking for? Rewritting paragraphs, or just grammar and spelling?

    Lulz at Cervus. Has your beta answered those emails yet? ;)
    It's surprising how many people forget about private messaging.

    Nope. It's been over a month since I last heard a thing. Getting on for two month. I'll see about getting a new beta when I can be arsed sitting down to actually write again. My patience seems to have evaporated recently...
