I really need a beta for my Muerte Carcel fic. After four chapters, I think it's time for a beta. I could even use some ideas. If I don't start working on this soon, my brain's going to shut down like it did last time, and the next chapter will come out even worse than the last one. If anyone's interested, please let me know.

I'm not good enough to be a beta, so I can't offer myself, but, please, don't stop writing this.  I love it. |

Oh, no, I wont stop writing this. The only way that'll happen, is if something very, very drastic happens to me. The only thing I'm saying is that I want to prevent the next chapter to not come out as bad as the last. I was starting to think about re writing chapter four. What do you think about that? I really didn't like how chapter four came out.

That's up to you. But if you didn't like it, it's probably a good idea to rewrite it. I mean I have rewritten chapters, too. Sure, it was before they were posted, but sometimes you are finished with a chapter, but you still aren't satisfied. It may take a while, but then suddenly you recognize what have been bothering you, and then it's more easy to rewrite it. That's another reason why I like to write the whole story before I start posting it. It makes it easier to rewrite scenes without anyone knowing.  (Except for my beta, of course.) |

Hi. Have only just read Muerte Carcel, and have reviewed it. I don't think I'll say it all again, but I think that, although it is an excellent story, it could certainly do with some grammatical improvement. I could maybe help with ideas, but I do think of myself as a more grammatical beta....if you don't mind me being harsh.... >.< I would like to try it. Would you be wanting to have the previous four chapters beta-ed also, or just the chapters to come? I'm also willing to beta your original fic...I haven't read any of your original fic yet, but noticed the link, and assumed it was the same style of writing.. Just to end on a positive note....I like how everyone is like their normal selves in a more this-world way. The whole dictionary thing.... |

You know what, that would be very great. If you could do that, I would love you. Though, It may take a while. I want to write more and get the basic outline done. Actualy, if you want to do me a favor, you can look at my plot-punny and maybe help me on the ending for it, I do need a second opinion. If you want to, let my know and I'll find a way for you to read it. It is a very long and strait forward plot bunny. Thanks. ;} |

Uh huh.  I should warn you, I've done very little beta-ing before, but I've been told I'm okay. I attacked a friend's story with a green highlighter and a pencil, and after a week-end I was like, wow! Did I write all that?!  Anyway, is this for Muerte Carcel or an ongoing original fic? I'm quite happy to do both as I'm shifting schools, and term ends tomorrow, the 10th, but my next school doesn't begin until the end of January, so I will have nothing to do. Send me anything at obsidian_butterfly14@hotmail.com Coolie. |

Okay I'm sorry I didn't reply to this yet after so long.
I'll have a look at this, certainly. But right now I am doing quite a bit of beta-ing (people not on this board) so once I'm done, I'll pass my opinion onto you, and can you email anything you want done directly to me?
Thanks.

Sure, take your time and don't worry about it. Though, I can't really e-mail you, because the computer I'm working on won't let me. Sorry.
If you don't want to work on this then don't worry about it. It's such a pain.

It's okay! But, well, to be direct, I'm more of a grammar beta than a plot beta or anything....
If you don't mind, can I attack the first few chapters of Muerte Carcel?

Okay, I've begun on Muerte Carcel. But do you have Microsoft Word? Because if you don't I will die...a friend and I have had this problem before and it's now only solved as she's gotten Word. Otherwise, I'll probably have trouble getting the file to you over email, as I've used some formatting (text colour) to show my betaing. If not...do you have WordPad? |

The thing is, I don't have a computer at home, and I can't check my e-mail. So, It's like saying that I don't have an e-mail address.

Oh. Dang. Alright, um...
I guess I'll put it in an IM here, and put my betaing in brackets, and forget the font colours. Um...well, I really do make a lot of use of them...anyway. *waits for light bulb to flick on in inspiration*
If you think up another way, IM me.

Um, sorry I haven't goten back to you on this. It kinda just sliped my mind, and then I forgot to look at it.
The IM here sounds fine.
Though, I have rigged a way to get my e-mail at aol (though I don't know how long it will last, my computer's one giant peice of crap).
My e-mail for the time being, is:
vgterra18@aol.com

I love it.
