Beta Volunteers!

[holmesticemods]

If you're interested in beta-reading or proofing someone's art piece, please leave a comment to this post for our artists and authors. Please give a short statement of what you offer to do, so anyone looking for a beta will have an idea of whether you'll fit.

Important: Authors and artists, please take care that the person you choose as your beta is not your recipient! I know it seem self-explanatory but accidents happen. :)

Happy to beta-read and/or Britpick. So if you've got a trusted beta reader, but want a quick Britpick that's no problem. Both Sherlock TV and ACD canon are fine, anything else and whilst I'd be happy to do spelling and grammar I couldn't help with the voice. Any pairing, but not keen on incest. Not into torture or non-com, anything else check with me and I'll let you know.

Initial contact by PM please.

I'd be happy to beta regardless of universe or subject matter. Depending on what you want, I can help with the story elements or just the grammar and wording. Contact me at fleetwood (underscore) mouse (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Hello! I am happy to beta (since I'm modding and not writing for this round). I can only do BBC Sherlock with any confidence, but I'm happy to read for gen fic or any pairing, any rating, and any kink. You can contact me at billiethepoet (at) gmail (dot) com.

Do you have time to beta a short Holmestice story over the next day or two? Please let me know one way or the other -- thanks!

Sent you a PM.

Hi, I'm willing to proofread (spelling, grammar, typos, phrasing, etc.) for any 'verse. I would prefer not to proofread entries that contain watersports, mpreg, incest, or rape.

There is also this really cool site that someone in the fandom made (I've forgotten who, sorry) that will automatically Britpick a text for you for spelling and vocabulary. It's here: http://utresinflati.github.io/britpick.me/

Of course this cannot replace a real person, as it sometimes returns false suggestions, but it's a good tool for a first pass.

I would be happy to beta just about anything! I can help with SPaG, continuity, voice, etc. :3 I'd be most comfortable with BBC Sherlock, Elementary, ACD or Ritchie!verse. =)
I would probably not be very good with non-con/torture fics, as I am a bit squeamish, but I'm fairly open to reading/helping with just about anything else, all pairings/no pairings/whatever. Haha.
Feel free to email me at tenrosesbleed336 at yahoo dot com. =)
