Fandom: Doctor Who (classic series)
Characters/Pairings: Barbara Wright/Ian Chesterton
Rating & Warnings: General, no warnings
Estimated Fic Length: 300-400 words
Notes: Basically one of the characters is waiting for the other and starts thinking. Want to know if the story feels "finished", title suggestions and if there are any grammactical errors. Brit-picking would also be nice. Having a bit of knowledge about the first Doctor era wouldn't hurt. Thank you in advance.

Current Mood: nervous

pipisafoat

Fandom: Doctor Who (nonspecific future doctor era, canon knowledge only through end of 9th Doctor required)
Characters/Pairings: Doctor/Jack
Rating & Warnings: Teen, canon-typical violence, impermanent death
Estimated Fic Length: 1500 words
Notes: I'm typically the beta when I participate here, but I need a wee bit of hand-holding on this one. It's a bit fluffy, maybe? I've created some noncanon stuff and focused on that for this story and need some feedback on how well that works. If you have further canon knowledge, including Torchwood knowledge, I'd welcome feedback on that as well.
I also need help with a title and summary, if possible, though I do have a backup title at least.
SPAG feedback welcome but not required.

unfeathered

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Torchwood
Characters/Pairings: Rupert Giles/Jack Harkness (Giles' POV)
Rating & Warnings: NC-17 - sex, BDSM (fairly mild, mainly D/s)
Estimated Fic Length: 6,500 words
Notes: I just need someone to read this over and make sure it makes sense, please! I'm English so no need for Brit-picking, and my SPAG is (or should it be are? :-D) usually fairly good, so it's mainly just sense, typos, and any useful suggestions that I'm looking for. :-)

(NB this is a sequal but knowledge of the first part isn't essential, though it's under 4,000 words if you want to have a read of it!)

unfeathered

Fandom: Doctor Who/Torchwood
Characters/Pairings: Mostly Simm!Master/Jack Harkness and Simm!Master/Tenth Doctor
Rating & Warnings: NC-17 - warnings for graphic sex, graphic violence, non-con/rape and some very nasty stuff. It's set on the Valiant during the year that never was and written from the Master's POV - need I say more?
Estimated Fic Length: the bits I want beta'd are around 9,000 words (total fic around 57,000)

Notes: So this is a fic I started way, way back in 2007, posted 12 chapters of and never quite finished the final two. I now have them finished and would really like to find someone to read them through for me to make sure they make sense and that the way they tie back into canon at the end works and doesn't contradict anything etc. etc. I don't particularly want a really in-depth beta as I'm scared I might lose my confidence again and never actually post them, which would be a damn shame after waiting so long, though obviously if someone does read them and feel there's something major that I desperately need to change, I'm willing to give it a shot!

Ideally, I'd like someone who wouldn't mind reading through all the previous parts, or at least to be familiar with them from having read them in the past. But I know that's a lot to ask, so honestly, I'll take anyone just reading them through for sense!

Parts 1-10 are up on AO3, part 11 will be posted tomorrow (Sunday) and part 12 on Monday, so if you do want a (re)read then that's where to find them. Please read the AO3 ones as they've all be tweaked at least a tiny bit from the original versions posted on LJ. And if anyone wants parts 11 and 12 before I post them, let me know and I can send you the Word versions. Along with 13 and 14 (the final two) if you're willing to beta them! :-)

fucktheg0ds

Fandom: Doctor Who, Torchwood
Characters/Pairings: 13th Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Jack Harkness
Rating & Warnings: Rated G or T, no warnings apply
Estimated Fic Length: 1,300
Notes: It's dialogue-heavy but I'm not worried about that. The main reason I would like a beta is for characterisation. I'd also like advice on whether this qualifies for a G or a T rating.

Reveals are on 19th January so if you can beta for me I need it done before the 19th.

unfeathered

Fandom: Doctor Who/Torchwood
Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi)/Jack Harkness
Rating & Warnings: PG
Estimated Fic Length: 2,500 words
Notes: For the

wintercompanion fic fest

Fics are supposed to be in by Tues 24 July so I'm afraid I need a pretty quick turnaround, please! I don't need anything mega-intense as it's been a *really* long time (aka about eight years) since I last wrote anything that got beta'd and I'm well aware I'm not up to my old standards, but I would be very grateful for anything you could offer in terms of spelling, grammar and making sure it makes sense etc.!

chamilet

Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Pairings: Clara/Twelve
Rating & Warnings: NC-17
Estimated Fic Length: less than 2000 words
Notes: This would be my first DW fic (although I've written in the Torchwood fandom a bit.) For now, it's just for this specific fic, although I will probably write more DW stories and it would be nice to have someone I could send them to. This particular one is a bit of a PWP and has spoilers up to and including Flatline.

Hello! I've caught up on tags again to prepare for the new year.

Another reminder that I won't add a tag for a specific fandom until at least two different people post about that fandom on the comm. If you don't see your fandom in the tag list, you're proably looking for a catch-all tag:

fandom: animanga series
fandom: books (other)
fandom: movies (other)
fandom: none/original fiction
fandom: nonfiction
fandom: tv shows (other)
fandom: video games (other)
fandom: webcomics (other)
fandom: web series (other)
fandom: western animation (other)
fandom: western comics (other)

I regularly go through the catch-all tags to see if there are any doubles that need to be moved to a tag of their own. If you want to get your own fandom tag faster, encourage your friends to use this comm too! :D

I've also added the new tag "fandom: star trek (reboot)", to try and differentiate the newer movies from the older tv series and movies. We've not yet had more than one person asking for betas in each individual star trek series, which is why they're still using the catch-all "fandom: star trek series."

If there's anything else I can do to make the comm's tag system easier to use, please let me know. Thank you for using

betaplease and happy new year! Please remember to tag your posts!

kdheart

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis (crossing over with Stargate SG1 on a semi-regular basis and, on occasion, with Supernatural, Doctor Who and possibly Andromeda)

Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/OFC, Rodney McKay/OFC(same one), eventually Rodney/Elizabeth, and lots and lots of other combinations of characters from the shows and OC

Rating & Warnings: Probably an R eventually, much milder at the moment, though. As the romance part of the fic gets more interesting, there will be some sex, for now, all you have to worry about is the fighting and unconvincing medical problems. There's a rather unbalanced amount of drama and crack in this fic.

Notes: This story is a collaboration between myself and a friend whom I shall refer to as the slave-driving, grammar Nazi Dominatrix (SDGND for short). English is not my first language and neither is it SDGND's and, accordingly, we've been accused of not sounding like native speakers - we need someone to spot the glaring inconsistencies in vocabulary. While SDGND is obsessed with getting every single detail right, she tends to obsess over this story far more than is healthy and misses most of the small stuff (like typos) - we need someone to catch typos as well. This is a rather long story (~100.000 words so far) and we've started re-writing it (blame SDGND, it's more her baby than mine, I just do the writing) - we need someone to check for plot inconsistencies, if possible.

So far, we have 9 chapters written, 7 of which have been posted online, un-betad, before we started rewriting. You can go here for more details on the fic and for links on where to find what we've posted so far. Chapter one has already been edited and re-written a total of 6 times (the current version hasn't been posted yet, what you'll find online is version 4, I think).

If there are any brave (or suicidal) souls out there willing to give this a shot, you will have our eternal gratitude.
