    OK, I'd like someone to beta a short fic that I am working on. The first draft is finished, so now I need help deciding what needs improving/changing.

    It's a Clark POV future fic, exploring the Clark/Lois relationship (but technically not a romance). It's G rated, nothing bad here. It's 49KB (3 pages) or approx 1300 words.

    It is my first ever "Smallville" fic and I am after the basics such as spelling, punctuation, grammar, characterization, etc. I really want someone to be totally honest in what they think, if it works or not. I also have a couple of points to question on, so if you can help me out I'd be very grateful.

    PM me or email me ([email protected]) if you are interested. Thanks.

      Hi. Just giving you hints: this would be my first fanfic and English is not my first language.

      I really appreciate anyone who can correct my grammar, spelling, vocabulary, plot, anything to make it read-worthy.

      Genre: Comedy
      Pov: Lex
      Length: 6 pages

      Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested. Thanks a lot

        My name is Deegan
        I am 20 about to be 21 years old
        I have beta-read before on other sites
        My strengths are characterization, punctuation, grammar, etc.
        I am an english major so I would be very good at any of the previous.
        I have watched smallville since the beginning and although I am fairly new to the message boards I have read a lot of the fanfics on this site so I think that I would do very well. I am a security guard and am online almost 8 hrs a day so I would be very quick in getting stories back to the authors
        I'll read anything under NC-17

            Name: Stephanie (Steffi_18)
            Age: Seventeen will be eighteen on September 12th
            Strenghts: I'm excellent in characterization, and description
            What I like to Read: Little Kiddy Clark, Chlark, Kent Family stories.

            What I'm looking for: I'm looking for someone who is willing to both edit my stories and help me with ideas. I don't mean help me write it, but who would be willing to talk with me online through ideas I have, and let me know if it's a good or bad idea.

            What you would be Editing/Betaing: A series of short stories, an AU series in someways, of the Kent family with more children. The first story is in the works. Will eventually be Chlark.

            Why I need a beta: My grammar is horrible, ask anyone, I can spell. So I really need help with any grammar, a little characterization, and someone to bounce ideas off of.

            If you're interested please PM me or email me at [email protected] my AIM is AndromedaSnape

                I'd be happy to beta/edit for anyone who needs a hand.

                Name: Brian
                Age: 21
                Strengths: I'm a psych major, so I like to think I'm good with character consistancy, motivations, etc. Basiclly I have an eye for the emotional/psychological stuff. I'm also not half bad with mechanics and story structure. Plus, I read ridiculously fast, so turnaround is usually pretty quick!

                I don't really care for anything too Clexy though, so let's steer clear of the m/m, HoYay stuff. Other than that I'm up for most anything.

                PM me or e-mail: [email protected]

                  - 21
                  - Grammar and spelling, some characterization, strengtening/tightening plot lines.
                  - I'll read pretty much anything but I prefer heroics and adventure. If you have something with Clark learning to fly/utilyzing flight I'll love you forever

                    Since I got an absolutely cr*ppy response to reviewing on this site, I thought I'd just leave a post here, and if any one actually wants me to review, I will.

                    My credentials?

                    I'm a creative writing tutor and teacher (college level), I write professionally (don't get excited, I'm no Margaret Atwood), and I edit for and comment on many sites on the net. I really enjoy both writing and critically appraising people's work, and I hate flaming- so you'll get nothing but objective advice from me.

                    If you'd like some help, just PM me, and I'll scoot on down and take a look at your post. Satisfaction guaranteed. Or something.

                                I posted this story here a couple months ago. I'm looking for someone to clean up my work. Check for misuses of spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Check the dialogue. Check the flow of story. Let me know what works and what don't. Clark/Chloe. Not full romance. FOTW.

                                9700 words
                                38 pages
                                NC-13

                                Since it somewhat lengthy, I thought I would ask instead of impose. Thank you. You can email me at [email protected].

                                I await your reply.

                                Sincerely,

                                Mike Ghost
