Hi all! I know this thread went dead quite a while back, but I was hoping we could revive it again perhaps? So here's a posting OFFERING and REQUESTING beta/editor services!
First off, I'd love to edit people's work! I don't have previous beta experience, but I do have experience editing several creative writing papers at school as well as essays and stuff. Anyways:
Name: Quad
Age: I'm 18+, but please do not give me NC-17 stories to edit. I prefer my G - PG13 stories.
My strengths: I'm great with grammar (except for the use of commas--if you have a problem with commas, I probably, have, a, bigger, problem). I'm also good at giving suggestions for character development, general plot development ideas/feedback, and honest (but humble) opinions on anything you would like my opinion on!
What I like to read: Anything, really. I like stories with plots, but I also enjoy one-shots. I don't do well with writing romantic stories and therefore wouldn't be too much help with purely romance-based stories, but I will be happy to provide my feedback nonetheless! I particularly like stories that stay true to the Smallville universe, but I can dabble into AU also.
In terms of requesting beta... there's one story I'm working on in particular that I wouldn't mind getting extra, focused feedback on. I just started it and it will be slow in development because of my other commitments at this time, so having a long-term beta would be fantastic! However, if you'd rather just do a chapter or portion of the story, that's fine too. It's regarding Margaret Isobel Thoreaux/Lana in Season 4. Main reason I'm writing it is because I dislike Lana (immensely) but want to explore her psyche so that I can at least feel like I tried to understand where her character was coming from. So any feedback especially regarding how realistic Lana's character development is/how true her character is to original SV Lana would be very helpful too! Story name: Haunted Destiny.
Hope to hear from someone regarding the offer/request soon!
