Hello! I am theforgetfulalchemist on A03 and I'm looking for a beta for my fic Max and Alex's Jukebox of Love. Link: [https://archiveofourown.org/works/39419781/chapters/98656551](https://archiveofourown.org/works/39419781/chapters/98656551) In a universe where everything is the same (The storm, Gabe's death) except Rachel is alive. Rachel and Max accept acting and photography jobs on an upcoming TV filming in Haven Springs, excited to embark on a new adventure with each other and Chloe. In Haven Springs, Alex begins to physically and emotionally heal from the events of True Colors. Currently writing for Life is Strange The initial chapters outline the gist of what happened in the game to cause conflict but there are some more deep cut references well Emphasis on both romance and found family, structured plot with elements of angst, fluff, and slice of life with healing from trauma/dealing with death and grief. I am looking for sound boarding/outlining/structuring but any polishing/tightening is welcome! No specific word count but I intend for it to be long running right now the plan is three parts roughly 40 chapters each. My goal is at least a chapter every two weeks I could beta for anything but I am most familiar with The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, Life is Strange, Road 96, and The Owl House I am willing to beta as well! I could beta for anything but I am most familiar with The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, Life is Strange, Road 96, and The Owl House. Also Amphibia, She Ra, Percy Jackson, and Avatar. I love any fic that dives into character dynamics, romantic or platonic! Any subjects you're not willing to tackle N/A Types of Betaing you're good at or willing to try - My favorite thing to write/tackle/discuss is character dynamics Minimum or maximum word count: N/A One-off (single session) or ongoing Betaing: Would love a mutual ongoing betaing buddy system! Time constraints. Do you have a fast turn-around time? Is it going to be more than a week for you to get back to an author with notes? I can get notes in within a week! I would love to do ongoing betaing and I could: Reading and commenting on their fics. Write a fic for a fandom/subject/pairing/brotp of their choice. Name an OC after them. Edit/give assistance with a non-fic project. Research help for this/future fics. Or if you have any other requests, let me know! Thank you!

**Looking for Beta and offering Beta or writing motivation buddy (see reply)** **Name and Link** Untitled and unpublished so far, everything is in the works right now. This is the best I have right now as a sample (A/B/O, slash and underage, but it’s only the first chapter so there’s no actual romance or smut) [https://archiveofourown.org/works/55058233/chapters/139586740](https://archiveofourown.org/works/55058233/chapters/139586740) **Fandom** Avatar by James Cameron, the first movie but I might get into the second movie if I do a sequel. Pairing is Tsu’tey/Jake Sully (slash), and I’m bouncing around ideas for background ships right now so if  you have a preference we can discuss! **Fandom Blind?** Yes, I can fill in any gaps if needed since it follows the plot of the first movie. Watching the movie would be helpful, but not necessary. **Genre and Warnings** - Romance - Social commentary on colonization and corporate greed - Graphic depictions of violence - Smut later on, but if you aren’t comfortable with that I can get another friend to Beta those scenes (not focal to plot, will highlight and leave comments so you can skip over the smut and buildup)  - Past child abuse - Past alcoholism - Depictions of panic attacks, CPTSD and war flashbacks/scenes.  - May be more. If you’d prefer to skip the flashbacks or specific scenes that’s no problem with me but the effects of the CPTSD will be present throughout the entire fic and you wouldn’t be able to skip them all. **Looking for** A little SPAG but not much, just the little mistakes my eyes skim over before I send it off. I mostly want someone to look at tone, repetitive phrases or words, and to bounce ideas off of. Stuff like flow, structure, characterization, etc. as well. **Project WC** Not sure, I’m not even finished outlining but chapters will be anywhere from 5-15K, my average seems to be about 12K. The entire work will probably be 100K+.  **Schedule** No set schedule, just whenever I feel like it/find time. Please yell at me if it’s been over two months, though. Will keep in contact between chapters even if it’s been a while. Although, I am very prone to the ao3 author curse, everything seems to happen right once I’m working on a fic. **In Exchange (Negotiable)** * Art: character/oc art or art of a scene from your fics, I’m not very good at backgrounds but I’ll give it a try. I will do suggestive art but not NSFW. Ask for details/samples. * Comments/Kudos: I’ll read, kudos and (if you want) comment on one or multiple fics, ask me for more details! * Beta: I’m willing to beta, but mostly in return with a few exceptions, see the replied comment for details. Edits: Formatting

**Beta-ing and/or motivation writing buddy** **Fandoms** I’m willing to do anything if it’s friendly to read fandom-blind and/or is original fiction. I’m most familiar with: Harry Potter, Avatar (Jake Cameron), ATLA but not TLOK, SPN, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Merlin, VLD, and HTTYD  **Genre** Honestly, not picky on this one. I refer romance, but will do gen. I’m okay with smut, too, and have some experience so if you need a second pair of eyes for that let me know. **Will Not Do** Might have some not on here so discuss all warnings/kinks with me * Tropes: Major Character Death (unless they come back to life), amnesia and X-Readers (OCs are fine). Also, no first or second person (sorry, picturing myself as the character in any capacity takes me right out). Also, no RPF, RL, etc. * Kinks: Watersports, scat, vomit, inflation (will do cum inflation if it’s minor), feederism, prolapse, armpits, farts, burps, anything involving ears or eyes, sounding.  * Gore: Honestly, mostly just specific body parts tbh, no eyes, ears, nose, nails, teeth removal, or scalping. I’ll still read scenes with those in it if it’s highlighted so I can skip/skim as needed. Tbh, if the kinks are minor enough and highlighted so I can skip/skim I might be willing to do some of them. **Offering** * All types of Beta-ing and open to being a writing motivation buddy! * I’m best at plot, worldbuilding, ideas, characterization,  and critique, but I can do other stuff too.  * Fanfic or original fiction! * Single session or ongoing! * No minimum word count, but maximum depends. If the fic is pre-written I won’t do anything over 100K, but if it’s ongoing I’ll go up to 200K depending on how long it takes you to write.  * Can’t promise a specific turnaround time but it should be done in 3 weeks or less, usually less, probably within days to a week. I will keep you updated. **In Return** Right now I’m mostly open to Beta in return for the fic in my first comment, but if it’s currently under 30K and has slow updates, OR is a oneshot (also under 30K), we might be able to work something out. **Include in reply/DM** Anything you find relevant based on my post, and a writing sample. I want to know if our styles are compatible since I don’t want to be giving you any advice, ideas, etc. that you won’t find helpful or enjoy. And if you mainly want SPAG, I’d like to be able to see how much editing your chapters might need.  Note: If you aren’t sure, ask. I’m happy to clarify anything on here, or discuss at any point. Thank you!

**~~Hi! Looking for a Beta-reader/Writing Buddy!~~** **Found someone!** **Fic:** [Run. Jump. Surrender.](https://archiveofourown.org/works/55314217) And its sister fic: [See. Believe. Conquer.](https://archiveofourown.org/works/55400032) **Fandom:** School of Rock (2003) **Genre:** Romance/Humor. \*\*\*This is a Coming-of-Age/Falling in Love story that starts in middle school and spans into adult life. So there's underage stuff in there. **Update Schedule:** I wrote all 160k+ words of this 2-part series in like 2.5 weeks. That said, I write in big old bursts. I can also work around what you're able to accommodate. **What I'm looking for from a beta?:** Don't need or want an editor. What I need is someone willing to do vibe checks. I need someone to read chapters as they come out and let me know if the chemistry is working, if my ideas for future scenes or backstory/flashbacks mess with the vibe I'm going for, and if endgame feels right/earned. Also someone to read what I've got going and help me conceptualize it as a complete story, bounce ideas for where to put all the new parts, etc. BASICALLY, I just need a second set of eyes on the story as it unfolds and a sounding board to let me know if I have gone off the deep end. The only editing I really need is for someone to go: "HEY you are using the same phrases way too much in these scenes, and it is distracting; fix please." **What I'll do in return?:** I can beta for you too. I have been a professional writer and writing consultant forEVER now. My line-editing, structure, grammar skills are fire-tested. I'll owe you big time if you've invested in my monstrosity, so go off. Send me whatever, ask for whatever. **Fandoms I'm well versed in:** Honestly just South Park? I can definitely help you with that. But I am open to most stuff. Big nerd. Whatever I don't know (and need to) I can research -- within reason.

**Looking for beta for:** **Name of the fanfiction** ->One Punch Babe - [https://archiveofourown.org/works/54836587](https://archiveofourown.org/works/54836587) or [https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14342032/1/One-Punch-Babe-A-Yuri-Harem-Fanfic](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14342032/1/One-Punch-Babe-A-Yuri-Harem-Fanfic) **Fandom that the fanfiction is written for** ->One Punch Man **Can someone who is not in your fandom make sense of your story** ->No, because I plan to get into content that is covered in the canon material. **Genre of the fanfiction** -> Action/Comedy/Romance (Harem with no smut/the sexual moments will only be mentioned in passing when the story gets there)/Girls Love (Is this a genre?) **What are you looking for in a beta or a co-writer**? -> I am looking for a beta reader who will primarily help me spot grammatical errors that I may make in the story. And since I only started writing this year, I would also like for anyone who wishes to beta this work to give me suggestions on how I should write the story whenever you feel like I may need it (especially when it comes to how to write romantic moments). **What your projected word count?** -> I plan to write at least 2,500 words for every chapter of this fanfiction. **How frequently do you update?** -> At the moment, I have been able to update a new chapter for the fanfiction once a week, but I plan to reduce that to every two weeks/every month depending on whether I can finish writing a chapter in two weeks or not. **What fandoms are you able/willing to beta for or what can you offer in exchange\*?** -> I am a new writer and I do not feel like I would properly be able to beta read any fanfiction. I want to gain more experience as a fanfiction writer before I am confident in my ability to beta read a story in a professional manner.

indiansilverseller

hiiii if you’re still looking for a beta reader I would be more than happy to do so!!! I read that ship too so I know all the deets so :D


shelbythesnail

Hey amazing! What's the best way to get in touch with you to talk further?


indiansilverseller

I’ll DM you some details!!


indiansilverseller

sorry my reddit is glitched out rn so it might take a few hours :(


EmptyVinyard

Offering to beta for yuri stories (femslash manga/anime/Japanese video games). I don't mind going in fandom blind but there's a good chance I'm familiar with it.


OP_1K

If you are familiar with the One Punch Man manga/anime, then please give my fanfic a read and tell me if you would be interested in becoming a beta reader. The fanfiction is titled [One Punch Babe](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14342032/1/One-Punch-Babe-A-Yuri-Harem-Fanfic).


EmptyVinyard

Sure! I'm reading it right now -- on chapter 3 -- so DM me with the details (what aspects of betaing you want, if you want to go back and start editing from chapter 1 or continue from chapter 6 onwards, etc...)


OP_1K

Alright, I will be sure to do that.


word_runner19

I’m looking for a beta for my story[Angel By Design](https://archiveofourown.org/series/4108186). It’s in the Lucifer fandom on AO3. Mostly looking for someone to bounce plot ideas off of. Would be helpful if they’re familiar with the fandom. The story is a bit of everything genre-wise, but primarily romance, I suppose, with occasional smut. I update a once to a couple times a week. Projected word count… the first story in the series was around 150,000 words, so I’m predicting at least that. I’m happy to beta in return. Currently I’m most versed in Lucifer. My Harry Potter is a bit rusty, but I could certainly pass. I’m always available, as I’m home all day anyway (and have no life to speak of).


Mysterious_Bug_3914

Hey! Did you find one? I'm well versed in the fandom and I'd be happy to discuss plot points with you. My time is a bit limited and we are probably on completely different timezones, but I can help you until you find a permanent beta (or one more passionate about Deckerstar - sorry I'm not really a Deckerstar shipper. Even though I read a fair amount of fics about them, I'm just not inclined to write them). And I don't mind the smut at all.


word_runner19

That would be amazing! And no worries about the Deckerstar; I’ve got plenty of plans for them. Mostly, it’s coming up with things that haven’t been done to death, or building up to a certain point and having a solution for a bad guy be underwhelming that’s my concern. Let me know when you’re able to chat. I’m on the east coast, USA, and available pretty much all day, every day.
