Beta Request

[alixtii]

It's all transcribed from the notebook now, and I need someone or someones to beta my Sarah Connor Chronicles fic. It's about 14,000 words, NWS, focusing on Riley, Cameron, and John. I'd like help with everything--spelling, grammar, characterization, canon consistency, pacing, plotting, theme, imagery, girl parts not working that way, etc.--but preferably it'd have more than one extra set of eyes looking over it, so if you can only do some of those that's great.

And since I can't really post a 14,000 word fic unbetaed, yes, I will keep spamming the flist every couple of days if I can't find the beta(s) I need.

I'm not familiar with canon all that much (seen a couple of eps, read a few fics), but I'd be happy to help with everything else!

Sent to the e-mail address in your profile (hopefully).

Thank you!

(Let me know if you need to know something canon-wise for the fic to make sense.)

Did you get a chance to look at it? No rush, just checking.

You can send it on to me if you like. I'd be happy to give it a look since I've finally caught up on the show.

Between school and work it'll take me a while to look at it, is that okay?

Email? (Or send me one at alixtii@gmail.com.)

No rush. How long would you expect it to take?

Knowing me I'm going to dive right into it on Sunday and do it all then. But I'd like to say a week to be safe. Does that work for you?

A week would be great.

Thanks!

Received! Riley's a favorite of mine, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with her.

SCC is the one fandom where I really have an OTP of the "stricter" definition, so while I never disliked Riley per se, I did resent her for getting in between John and Cameron. Which made spending so much time with her in this fic very interesting. Come January, I expect this'll be the one I list as "made me rethink the way I see the characters."

I'd be happy to lend you a set of eyes. I have terrible grammar in story telling (I've never met a comma I didn't want to splice something with) but I'm good on canon and characterization and that other business.

Thank you!

(I'm probably overly fond of comma splices myself, especially in fiction. I tell myself it's not a mistake if you know you are doing it.)
