thought it would be helpful...


Here, I will put a list of beta readers (like lilith once did in ewfn).

Pm me with the following if you would like to be a beta reader.

Name:
Screen name:
Age:
What will you read:
What won't you read:
How long will you take:
How many fictions will you beta at a time:

A tip about May-sues, if you are new to writing. Some people will not agree to beta May-sues, including myself. She is the lead role, she is perfect, flawless in every way. She has perfect hair, skin and looks. The reader cannot relate to her because she has no dents to her personailty. She is immaculate. This makes it boring. Make your character have character! Don't let her be perfect. Most authors write mary-sues as an image of therself - how they wish to be.

Anyway, PM me if you'd like to be a beta reader, and I will make a second post with all the information you send me. Then if a writer needs areader, they can come here, and pick :D

Note: If you have 27 chapters typed up, don't expect your beta to do all of them. Work on the one you last typed up and go from there :)

ETA: It would also be a good idea if you knew how to spell (duh) and you knew how to correct punctuation. It would help also, if you were a writer yourself :D

I hope we have a good outcome with this.
