Hello, I am particularly new to this, so please go easy with me.
I found that I'm in need of a beta for my stories that I have posted recently, and wanted to take the time to actually request one lol. Please keep in mind that I have never actually had one before and am very new to this. I have been an aspiring author for a probably close to seven years now and recently (like a couple months ago) worked the nerve to actually post something. I guess what I am asking for is someone to read and go over my work, with a fine tooth comb if you know what i mean. I can take criticism that's not a problem, besides that how we all improve isn't it? I would prefer to be friendly and open with my beta, you now get to know you if you want to take the job. If not I can keep it professional too, that will not be a problem either.
My main concern is grammar and spelling, along with characterization and being to OOC. I also need someone to go over my chapters and maybe help improve them along the way. Other than that I have no idea how to go about this (like I said I am new at this) and I also wanted to say that any and all help will be appreciated. Oh and by the way they are both M/M, Just wanted to let you guys since I know allot of people don't care for them. If you need to see the work I have done so far they are currently in the archives,Tortured Soul for Bleach and Condemned for Final Fantasy VII. Condemned is an AU, and Tortured Soul is sort of an Bleach AU after Ichigo saves Rukia.
For my original I am looking for someone that can revise and correct my work along with suggest changes to sentences, themes, character's and the romance that would make the story more presentable. I also would like the opportunity to bounce idea and to see what would go and what would not. Through all of this I would like to find someone would like to co-author with me maybe, if that opportunity would arise. The Black Book is in the archive in the original section under fantasy, and this is also a M/M to let you know. Also I would like to warn you guys ahead of time that my preferred genre of romance is M/M. That is just a warning for all of you who would rather not beta that genre.
Thank you again for reading and/or considering to beta for me (if have read this), and I would really appreciate any help at all that anyone can provide.
