beta reader?
Sep. 3rd, 2015 06:40 pmI’m looking for a beta reader. I’ve been in fandom for 15+ years, reading and lurking, but I’ve only recently buckled down and started writing some of the stories I’ve been imagining over the years. So far, the stuff I’ve posted on AO3 has been unbeta’d, and the comments/feedback I've been getting there is awesome and extremely helpful; but I’m starting to feel like I’ll need a bit more dedicated support if I really want to take my writing “to the next level,” as it were.
Since I’m new to the writing side, I’m not sure how one goes about getting a beta. I figured it couldn’t hurt to start by just asking. The worst I can get is a no, right? Or, maybe, a deafening silence, which would serve the same purpose. ;)
My writing so far is sporadic and spans across a lot of fandoms, but my current favorites are:
- The Walking Dead
- The Avengers (Movies)
- Outlander (TV Show)
- Jurassic Park / Jurassic World
- Supernatural
- The 100
If you’re interested in helping out, please email me at mykaesaria @ gmail.com. I’d appreciate it if you could also give me an idea of the kinds of stuff you’ve written and/or beta’d before. (And, my stuff is usually explicit slash, so I’m only asking for folks over 21 years of age.) Thanks much in advance!
