  1. I am putting out a call to all those who read stories for one shot requests. EveKnight75 was nice enough to tell me I could place this here. Rules: *The majority of requests that have pairings must be slash. On occasion, I will do fem-slash or het pairings. *If you want smut, tell me so. *If you want smut, tell me if you want it to be an established relationship or first time. *It can be any fandom that you want. If I don't know it, I will research it and write, hopefully keeping in the characters attitudes and personalities. I promise nothing though. *If you request a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanfiction, and you want pairings, PLEASE NO Angel/Xander, Spike/Xander, Angel/Spike, Spike/Dru, Angel/Dru, Angel/Darla, Spike/Buffy or Angel/Buffy. I see these pairings much to often for my tastes and refuse to write them right now. I'm sorry. Angel/Xander/Spike is fine. *If you want an original, go here to choose from my characters that you want to see paired. Or if you want, you can ask me to creat new characters, which would take me longer getting the story out. *Leave a basic plot outline. *If you want something with no pairings, I can write just about any character. Please also leave: *The name you want me to use when I dedicate the story to you. I don't use real names. Please leave your pen name. Thank you for your time.
  2. Okay, I have to say, I have some bad titles for my stories. Lets see, there is Moonlight Lovers (sailor moon/yu yu hakusho/harry potter/naruto crossover). My very FIRST story ever written and posted. It is currently complete and being rewritten. Then there is Finding (sailor moon/yu yu hakusho crossover). Gods, what was I smoking when I named it?! Its...Its...its boring!!! T.T There there is, in order, A Not So Simple Destiny (sailor moon/yu-gi-oh), and Memories (sailor moon/Dragon Ball Z). I really do need to rename them, but I have no idea how to do so. Now though, I'm rather proud of Xanders Many Faces. Its straight to the point and it hints at what I'm trying to do. Its the other story besides Imaginary that I'm proud of the title on. Gods, its pathetic. I think at one point or another, every author has a bad or cliched title, no matter who they are and how long they've been writing. But when someone just doesn't try to find a good title, its not cool. You know, there might be a good story, but the title turns the people off from it. But then again, I have my fav authors and don't really read new stuff unless I'm bored enough.
  3. Okay, I have to say this. Its a fine line between flaming and critiquing. I can understand writing out what irked you about the story. But don't do it in such a way that would piss you off. And if you don't have a suggestion on how to make it right, say that. But, and this is a BIG but, don't review after just scanning through a chapter. Actually take the time to read the actual chapter. Sometimes if you go back and reread something, you'll find your answer to your question. This way, you don't waste your time or the authors, not to mention piss them off. I had this happen to me. Which I did ask advice about under guidelines. The person pointed out the things that could be found in one chapter. Thats just telling me they didn't bother to actually READ the darn chapter. And its waste of my time and theirs since I have to point out this stuff. Sorry, ranted there for a moment.
  4. Alright, so I've been writing fanfiction for nearly 6 years, posting for about 4 of those and reading fanfiction of all kinds for about 9. A while ago I got a review that made me sit there an wonder about it. Its from my Twisting the Hellmouth account (tth.com) about my story A Different Life (Link) which is still in progress, so there are still a lot of things that are open to thoughts and questions and will eventually be answered. Now, the review said: Now, my betas (yes, betas. Two to be precise) tell me that my story is fine so far and doesn't need any major editing done nor does it have any major problems, much like this is telling me. At the time of this review, I didn't know how to use the codes to format, so I'm not to worried about that, but the rest, its like this person just skimmed through and ranted at me for imagined problems. How do you deal with such people and their rants? Alright, one more thing and then I'm done for now. Authors notes: waste of space or are people actually reading them? I know I do. I've come to learn that sometimes, you need to read them for certain reasons, including in finding out what is to happen to the story, or the reasons why the story has taken so long to be updated, ect. But, I can't help but wonder why people skip over the shorter ones. I know that sometimes writers rant and rave about things that aren't that important, but some writers actually have something to say. I know I do, when I'm not apologizing for not updating in 2 months that is.... But, how do I deal with people when they ask me the same thing that I covered in an authors note? Should I be rude and not answer them? Or should I tell them to read my authors note? I'm so confused because I keep getting mixed answers. Thank you for your time in reading and answering.
  5. I love to rp yaoi. I really do. Come play with me? PrettyYaoiGirls Site
  6. Okay, I need help with three stories to be precise. They are all Sailor Moon, but have crossovers in them in some way. The following list are descriptions of them. Also, I have other stories, but either their not betaed, or they already have a beta. Thats just how things are. If your interested in becoming a beta for one of my other stories, tell me. With Moonlight Lovers and Finding, I may turn my original characters into guys, but I don't know right now. For now though, their females and the stories are het with overtones of slash. I do request that any betas have a passing knowledge of Sailor Moon, Yu Yu Hakusho, Saiyuki and Harry Potter. If you don't, then I request that you are willing to look up names before telling me how to spell them. Thank you. Moonlight Lovers Summary: Yusuke has a cousin, who left to help Usagi fulfill her destiny. While there, she finds love, and betrayal, and leaves. Coming back isn't all about meeting the family again, though, it comes with a surprise. Finding out that three powerful beings have banded together, the Sailor Scouts and the Spirit Detectives must spread out and find as many allies to fight this new evil, while finding their true loves. Story one in a series. Is currently complete. Crossovers in this story: Yu Yu Hakusho, and Harry Potter Mentions: Naruto Plans for this story: I hope to rewrite it before finishing off my other story A Different Life. I am working on several other stories, that are yet to be posted, and won't be for a while, but I do plan on continuing this story. I need help with the title of the next story in this line. Any help would be appreciated. Imaginary Summary: Sometimes, being pushed to far by those you considered friends has dire consequences. And sometimes, you need to teach those friends that you aren't as weak as you seem. Watch as Usagi does just that. Status is Complete. I am planning on a second one, but first I need to get some song lyrics and some character information. I am rewriting this, and I am on the Minako/Rei chapter. The songs is Evanesence and is one of my oldest stories, along with Moonlight Lovers and Finding. For this one, I need help catching my typing mistakes, grammercal issues and of course, spelling, but not so much. Any help with this, is welcomed. Oh! There is mention of Saiyuki, in preperation for the second story. Finding Summary: Yusuke has a sister that disappeared when he was five. Now he is 16, is a Spirit Detective and a demon. A woman comes into the Spirit detectives lives and turns things upside down. Who is she? And why does she look like Yusukes sister, who was more 14 when she left? Status is On Hiatus. I haven't touched this story becuase of the pace and the way its driving me up a wall! I need help and some one to help me slow down with this one. It is a Yu Yu Hakusho/Sailor Moon crossover and has a my original character as one of the main characters. I really need help with this one. So, any takers? Even if it is just one of them. I need help. Send me a message through here, so I can send you my e-mail addys. Please put Beta Response as the subject to.
  7. Hi. I would like to speak with you more in depth about your story and being your beta. You can go to my application to see what I can do. I forgot to put it down, but I can do originals. I hope you take the time to speak with me.
  8. I wish to apply as an official beta. Okay, since we got that out of the way, I have been writing some where around 13 years and betaing around 6 of those years. Unfortunatly, the work that I've betaed is not available to the general public or has been taken down. Sorry. If anything, I would suggest going to my two more popular stories A Different Life or Xanders Many Faces which is unbetaed and being rewritten, and look over the style and editing. I will contact the writers I've betaed for and see if I can get the links from them. Other wise, I'm sorry. When I beta, I cover all aspects. I'm a twit about grammer and spelling and when it comes to the way a story is written, I will throw a fit if someone doesnt [/b]try[/b] to write. I don't mind if I have to rewrite a line every so often, but I draw the line at having to rewrite more than one paragraph. It just shows me you're not trying. I do cut those who have english as a second language some slack, but not a lot. I try to work with the author about these concerns. I also dislike short chapters. One or two paragraphs do not constitute as a paragraph and I refuse to believe that people can not write at the very least 3 pages per chapter. I can help with that, but if they don't try to work with me, it gets fustrating. I will try my best, until a certain point, then I'll just tell them to get a new beta. I REFUSE to edit or read rape or graphic torture. I can stand torture in passing or looking back over it, but get graphic and it makes me run away screaming. I also refuse to contiplate the following pairings: father/son, mother/son, father/daughter, mother/daughter, son/daughter, uncle/niece, aunt/niece, uncle/nephew, aunt/nephew or any combinations of these. I'm sorry, they make me shudder. I am not very good at writing sexual scenes, but I can suggest how they should go, should it come down to it. I'm working on it. Due to the fact that I sometimes need to discuss something about the story, I try to get to know the author and usually, I end up becoming wonderful friends with them. I also act as a sounding board for the author. I am usually able to get the chapter or story back to the author around 24 to 84 hours after getting it. It all depends on when I check my e-mail, then length, the edits, and the contents. Should it take longer or seem like its going to take longer, I will tell the author if it will. I usually do yaoi, but I am able to do yuri and het, as long as the pairing doesn't make me want to lose my sanity. Now, I can edit just about anything, but I specialize in the following ones: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Harry Potter, Bleach, Inuyasha, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, Gundam Wing, Dragon Ball Z, Gull Metal Alchemist, CSI (any of them, and I'm still learning the time line and all the characters), NCSI (same here), Gravitation (again, still learning somethings), Cowboy Bebop, Sailor Moon, Gensomden Saiyuki/Saiyuki (same here, learning things), Ouran High Host Club, Lupin the Third, Hellsing (learning), s-CRY-ed/Scryed, Samurai Champloo, Tokyo Mew Mew (learning), Trigun and Trinity Blood. If you want me to beta something I don't know about, give me a day or so to go and research it before expecting the chapter back. I am willing to do some major research for a story so the author can have the best possible story for their readers. I also try to make sure that any termology is correct, and if need be will ask for a extension so that I can reasearch it. Hope I can help someone. Oh, and if you contacted me once, can you contact me again. I accidently deleted your message. Sorry.
