New at Beta reading. Want to try my hand at it. If I suck at it, I'll be the first one to tell you. Otherwise, I am willing to try. I am a sometimes poet, of the bloody awful variety, but I still do it. I just don't share it with the rest of humanity. :)
I am bilingual, English and Spanish, an am taking classes to become a certified Translator. I freelance once in a while, translating projects for others and get a kick out of that. Would love to work from home and get paid beaucoup bucks for it.
But, I digress. I'll be happy to help so let me know.
Adriana :) |

I have not yet attempted to write a fanfic, but I read everything I can find :o) I have an adorable, prissy pooch and two chubby, bossy kitties that love to interrupt Mommy's reading as often as possible. Of course none of them are spoiled. RIGHT! I also have a wonderful fiance who is incredibly understanding of my Buffy obsession. I would love to help out anyone I can with regards to their creations, and I can't say that getting sneak peaks would be a back perk ;o) I honestly hope that by helping out a little, I might get some inspiration to try my hand at writing a bit. Who knows? Thanks for the opportunity. |

| Is willing to beta up to this rating: NC-17 |
| |
| This beta is most able to help with: |
| I'm very nit-picky about grammar and spelling as well as plot pit falls. Often an author will use the wrong name or will inadvertantly contradict himself or herself in an effort to post the newest chapter. While this is understandable it often distracts the readers by drawing attention away from the story. Unfortunately I also do this for movies and consequently am no longer allowed to speak while watching with friends. I'm also a great sounding board for the author and will give advice if asked. I'm willing to beta any length and any rating fic... yes, even the 'G' rated ones. |
| |
| Not willing to beta: |
| No restrictions. Willing to beta any pairing or threesome in any situation. If you happen to pick something I've never read before I'll still welcome it. |
| |
| Can typically return a chapter: |

Well I'm Finnish, so I know quite much about the country. (like someone would write a fic about Finland o.0) I speak Swedish, English, Finnish and Spanish. I'll also start Japanese next year... I've been speaking English for nine years, so althought it's not my first language, I know the grammar...
I study photographing, history and psychology, so I have basic knowledge (and little more) of those... Do I need to tell more? I hope I didn't suck... |

| I've been editing for grammar/punctuation and sentence structure since HS, so I'm probably best at that. Willing to take a shot at plot guidance, but my creative writing instincts kinda got squashed in law school .... |

| 24h best, a week at worst - depending on how long it is and my job. |

| Hmmm ... not sure if any of this will be helpful for bitey Spuffy fanfic; I'm kinda boring. I'm a lawyer by profession: ex-litigator (i.e., trial lawyer), currently a telecom policy wonk. Studied poli sci in college, w/an emphasis on Japanese culture & politics (s'posed to speak Japanese, can't really do it anymore). I love to cook; have an amazing ability to retain completley useless info, which makes me a great Trivial Pursuit partner (and that + $2 will get you on the NYC subway ...). Oh, and I'm a complete Buffyverse FREAK - I've seen every episode of both series multiple times over, and own all the DVD sets (w/Angel S.5 on pre-order). Is that helpful? |

| This beta is most able to help with: |
| I'm fairly useless when it comes to grammar and spelling. So why offer to be a beta? I know when I write I sometimes just want to know if people are getting the right impression from what I right. So what I can help with is plot guidance, characterization. Stuff like that. If you want someone to tell you how it reads (and don't worry, I do it nicely) I'm your girl. |
| |
| Not willing to beta: |
| I'll beta anything. |
| |
| Can typically return a chapter: |
| say 2 days to be on the safe side |
| |
| Other useful information: |
| I have a B.A. in linguistics, although I'm not sure how much that helps. I'm also pretty familiar with the Victorian period, so if you needed help with some aspect of William's past I could either help you or point you in the right direction. |

| Sometimes grammar is so bad that I can not finish the story. A lot of writers (betas too since they do no catch the errors) do not know the difference in there, their and they're.
