Beta call for writers!
In a lot of ways, the beta is the most important asset a writer has. The beta is the voice of sanity. Of reason and logic. Sometimes, the beta is also the voice of smack-down. Ouchie.
Good betas point out continuity flaws, typos, rough patches, tangled sentences, convoluted punctuation, and a whole host of other problems. They do all of this tactfully and carefully so that the writer doesn't go cry in the corner after deleting their story.
Great betas are enthusiastic and squeeful, and help push, pull and drag the writer over the finish line. They cheer on the writer, give constructive criticism, and generally are made out of glitter and intelligence.
If you think you can handle this, then copy the coding from the block below, and paste it into a comment. Then fill it out, telling us all about your wonderful beta super powers.
Things that might be your strengths or weaknesses: line-editing, plot, structure, characterization, grammar. Specialized knowledge, familiarity with specific canons.
If you are in need of a beta for your story, copy and paste the code below, filling in the relevant information:

looking for beta
Best way to contact you: rannyfighter at gmail or pm at dreamwidth
Main bands in your story: just MCR, but it's an AU so no actual band
Main relationships/characters in your story: Frerard
What are you looking for in a beta?: I need help with SPAG. Like, really. I'll be able to scratch up a readable draft by the May 16 but no posting before beta says it's okay. Pretty please
One more thing. I'd also appreciate some help with dialogues in Spanish. The one which is spoken in South America.
