Desperate

[author_by_night]

Anyone interested in beta-ing? I've tried two places - a beta thread and community - but I think the fact that a main character is an OC scared everyone off.

I'll beta for you, if you'd like. Just be aware, I've never done serious beta work before, but I have proofread things before for my sister. Also, I wouldn't be able to do it for about two weeks :P You could always use me as a back-up in case you can't find anyone else. :)

Thanks... I may save you for when/if I write my next fic, but you can certainly proofread if I still need one two weeks from now. (I'm hoping it'll be basically finished by then).

I beta for amberdulen. What's the story about?

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Its about my OC, Artemis Lupin, and Tonks during PoA. I added you to my MSN handle, since I prefer talking over IM or email (IM's easiest, but email works too). And thanks!

I'd be happy to beta, although I'll point out that I'm more of a technical proof-reader than a character one.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Hmm... thanks, but I'm more looking for help with plot and character stuff.

You already have three volunteers....

but I'd be happy to if you need a fourth. I couldn't until Sunday or Monday, b/c that's when the craziness is over. And I've never actually "beta-ed" before, but people constantly have me proof their stuff at school, fiction and nonfiction, so I think I'd be good.

Okay, thanks! :) I do understand if you can't even after that though, with graduation coming up... I don't think I would've wanted to have had a fic to beta that time last year. ;)

How long is your story?

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

So far, 20 chapters maybe? I need a few more.... do yo have IM? If not, just email me if you're interested.

Sorry, I missed this response. 20 chapters is just too much for me to take on right now. I hope you've found someone!
