If anyone needs help, just let me know! When I'm proofing, I highlight areas that need work and I make suggestions in parenthesis and different colored font. Also, my normal turn-around time is 1 day for a shortie and 2 or 3 days for a longer story. My favorite ships are H/G, R/HG, but I don't mind taking a gander at others.

I BETA on MuggleNet.com, so have plenty of experience. Just PM me and I will get with you ASAP.

Hi.
Guess I might as well add my .02 here, as well. I can't say I have a particular favorite area, though I'll admit I figured on H/G back about book 2. As far as what I can help out with, I guess that depends a lot on what a writer asks for. No problem with the mechanics (spelling, typos, grammar, etc.) and beyond that it's up to you. If you're curious about my style, I do have a couple chapters of an AU (alternate universe) piece I've posted in the Miscellaneous section (Jeremy Stevens and the Renegade Sorcerers Bureau) you may wish to peek at if you need help deciding to ask me to help out.

I see my job as a beta being to help you be the best you can be at expressing your ideas and growing your ability to do so. To me, that means pointing out what's good, what's not so good, what works and what doesn't. I'll work out the mechanics of how to send stories and what will work best for me to return responses based on what you feel most comfortable with. Normally, I use Microsoft Word, but I can handle most other formats as well.

So, if I can help out, feel free to drop a note here, or better yet, drop me a PM. I'm pretty compulsive about checking my email so I will promise that you'll receive a quick response. Jim ...

Hi, I'm AOPT. Although at the moment I am not taking requests, I will constructively review if you ask me nicely, or if I so desire. When I do beta, I try to take as little time as possible. My normal speed is about 1-3 days, but this is when I'm busy/I'm sent the entire fic. I may take less time if you catch me at the right time.

Feel free to email me ([e-mail]) or PM me, but I cannot gurantee that if you PM me I will get it in time. I check m email at least six times daily (yes, I'm strange like that), so you stand a better chance of me getting it done in under a day that way.

My favourite pairings are Remus/Sirius, Ron/Hermione, Ginny/Luna, and Draco/Hermione, but I will read almost anything if it's well-written. I'm only picky about pairing including either Remus or Sirius, but not both. Anything else, I will read and most likely enjoy. But I don't just read romance, so don't think you can't send other stuff.

The one thing you must know about me is that I am a comma obsessive. If you have a lack of commas I will start quoting Shoebox Project at you or simply lecture you about it. I try to restrain myself, but don't be alarmed if I take a paragraph explaining the virtue of the often-overlooked comma.

I can't beta but I'll help with story lines!!

[dreamergirl5]

Hey all! I ship Draco/Hermione, but will read any story. I ussually get back to you within about 48 hours of you sending me a story or chapter, depending upon how long it is. I mark any corrections in red so you can see where you made your mistake. I may also leave notes at the bottom commenting about the over-all story line, maybe leaving suggestions. So if anyone would like help just PM me or e-mail me at ([e-mail]) and let me know!

Hello! I can help with story plots, grammer, and content. I can usually do a read through really quick. If it's during the weekday, it might take me two days, but if it's on the weekend, I can do it in a day. If you need my help, just PM me.

Hey, I need BETA help! Anyone who has experience with mugglenet, because I'm trying to get my fanfic in there.

edited: Thanks dreamergirl5 for offering the help.

I just want to make a quick announcement. I'm looking for any completed fanfics with links to them. If anyone has a story they would like to share or have a favorite story from someone else, please contact me. I would like to put them in my library on my RPG site, When the Dust Settles. So far, we only have one story posted. But, I do plan on going around some fanfic site and start finding writers. Thanks.

Hi, in the fanfic section here we've added a new category, called Links, as a place to put links to really good stories located on other sites. I've added a couple link there, and have a bunch more that I plan to put up soon. I like the idea of a place where we can post links, and our reviews, especially as to things we've discovered that are really, really good. So many of these sites have hundreds or thousands of stories. Some are really great, some are not, and it's nice to be able to get pointers to the best of the best. Typically I will only post a link here oif the story is completed, though if it's a multipart story or series, and I've seen that the authors do update regularly and are likely to finish what they start, I'll include thos as well. Hope this helps! Jim ...

Thanks, I'll take a look. It's just that, there are alot of good stories out there and I know I won't be able to read all of them and give a review. So I was wondering if someone could help me out.

Hi there! I'd like to Beta please, if that's alright. If anyone is curious about my "credentials" I have been writing Harry Potter fanfic for about 4 months now. However, I've been writing all my life. Right now I am a junior in college, majoring in English. Thus, reading and writing are not only my favorite ways to pass time, but my future profession. Due to the fact that I have had three years of intense college English classes (and four years of honors English in high school), I'm more than capable of both editing gramatically and help with major plot problems. Please PM me if you (or someone you know!) needs a Beta. Thanks!
