Wanted: Beta Reader (Fandom=Popular)
Apr. 18th, 2008 03:20 pmUPDATE: Thanks so much to everyone who offered! I'm now good to go. :)
Hi, everyone. As some of you may know, I am planning to attempt the![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
fanfic100 challenge with Sam/Brooke (from the show, Popular). How it works is that there are 100 prompts; you pick a fandom/pairing/group/character and write one fic/drabble for each prompt.
So, I'm looking for a beta reader to help me out. I'll be honest, in that I'm kind of looking for a lot from this person (maybe more than one person?). I'd love someone who:
(a) is at least somewhat familiar with most of the episodes (it's actually been a long time since I saw the show, and I'm not even sure whether or not I've seen all the episodes, so I want to make sure I stay in-character and don't directly contradict canon)
(b) will check my spelling and grammar (I'm pretty confident about my knowledge of correct grammar, but everyone makes mistakes, so an extra pair of eyes would be great before I post)
(c) is someone I can bounce ideas off of (I have a very basic idea of how all 100 fics are going to work, but I'd love it if I could toss some ideas around with you, because I'm very much expecting my plan to continuously evolve as I get deeper into the writing)
(d) will give me constructive criticism regarding actual plot, not just spelling/grammar
(e) is willing to stick around for quite a while (since we're talking about a shit-load of fics, it's obviously going to take me a long time to do this, and if at all possible, it would be great to maintain contact with the same person/people throughout the process)
(f) doesn't mind dealing with fics from the whole range of ratings, from G to NC-17
(g) obviously, doesn't mind being spoiled in terms of what I'm going to have happen throughout the whole thing.
You don't need to be someone who has tons of free time and therefore can get back to me really quickly whenever I send you something. I'm willing to really take my time with this thing, and make it the best it can be.
Soooo, if, after all that, there's actually anyone who's interested, let me know. You can reply to this post, send me a message, email me, whatever.
THANKS!!
