In search for a beta 15 Years, 5 Months ago Karma: 4
I'm new here. I'm young. And I need a beta. lol

My story has not yet been published. I'm doing some tough rewriting of the first three chapters that I thought I was done with, but now I can see they need a lot of work.

When I'm done, I need another person editing them.

I don't want it to be edited in a way where the concept is changed. I just want grammar correction and some addition of 'flavor'.

What do I mean by flavor? Easy to answer: my first language is not English; it's Spanish -- and since I've been 'away' from my native language, I can hardly write something interesting in Spanish. So, with this, I find it somewhat hard to express and describe certain circumstances in either four languages that I've learned.

In brief, my beta should be willing to help me describe certain scenes that I've mentally pictured but have not yet been able to find the exact words to set them on paper.

Thanks,

KrazyRunya

PS. my nickname is Krazy4Fluffy but you can call me KrazyRunya or just Krazy. Side note: I don't know how to pick a beta that suits me, but I hope you will enlighten me on that part...

When you pick a beta, ask to read their work so you get a general idea of their style, strong and weak suits. Stay in contact, I've had a beta and I've been a beta for a few people, and in some cases we lose contact. Make sure you understand each other and what your trying to accomplish!

I must ask, what are your conditions, hun? Like, 2 chapters a week, 1 every other day, etc.? Depending on that, I may be able to help you. I would love to be of service. <3

Anything works for me ^^ As long as it's not less than 1 chapter per week...

Either way, I will be publishing the story after my beta does her/his job ... So, it really doesn't matter that much. Oh! Last condition: don't bail on me

PS. even if I have an arrangement with said person to beta one chapter per week, it cannot be permanent because I might be caught up with my studies or something... or I can be having a lot of free time and write three chapters the same week...

RUNYAAAAA


IT IS YOU!!




I just made the most confused post in my life.
(thank god I got to edit this before you read it)

If that made sense.



I was so scared you were lying to me or something...

Me was gonna cryyyyy =(



Why didn't you send me a message that you're back?!


GAH!!!!!!!!

I'm going bite your little head off! RAWRS


--

So many questions, so little words to express what i want to say.



Anyway, honey...

Will you still be able to handle betaing... i mean "alphaing" my stories??

If you're going to update as often as three times a week, you won't have time for me anymore...


--

OMG!

Welcome back honey <3


I missed you! Gah So many things to talk about.

I came up with so many ideas for AAC!!!

I can't believe you didn't send me a message that you were back!!




*sigh*


Welcome homeeeeeeeeeeee!

(MAJOR SMOOCHING AND HUGGING)

Oh, hun, trust me, I will not bail. I know how it feels, and it's not too pleasant, haha.

Well, if you'd like to, here's a link to my story if you want to see my "writing style" as wynter put it. The story is MA, but no worries, as the beginning is completely work safe. (No lemons yet! )

If you're interested in letting me beta for you, PM or email me.
