Re: Beta for Fanfiction

[biohazardgirl]

Note on original comment: not looking for volunteers (although if you were willing, that would be fantastic), but more wondering if there's just some sort of beta comm or something. I have no clue where everyone seems to find these mysterious creatures called betas, but a lot of people seem to have them.

What fandoms do you write it? If we share a fandom, I wouldn't mind doing some beta-ing.

Re: Beta for Fanfiction

Well. . .

I haven't actually written much, but I assume most of my writing will be for Sherlock (although I had a really great idea for a Wall*E fic today that I really want to write & I'm not even in that fandom. . .). I also am sometimes a part of the Harry Potter fandom, so writing for that is not out of the question.

The things I write (& the ideas I have) are kind of. . .unconventional though. Stories-from-the-perspective-of-a-rabbit kind of unconventional.

Likewise, if you need a beta I would be willing to beta for you :D I'm a better fiction reader than I am a fiction writer (I'm skilled at essays and other academic writing but I'm VERY new to fiction) and I read a lot of fiction and I'm willing to read just about anything. . .in a few weeks I'll definitely be more strapped for time when college starts up again, but I'll still need a hobby to keep me occupied!

I am completely unfamiliar with Sherlock except for watching the two RDJ movies, so I might not be the best person for Sherlock fics. But feel free to send any Harry Potter my way. :)

I've always gotten mine from within the fandom, and usually within the pairing that I'm writing. When I first got into fandom, one of my first fandm friends (we fangirled like crazy over the same pairing) agreed to look over my first fic, and she turned out to be a great beta. After that, people would strike up convos with me in comments on fics (mine or theirs) and the requests/offers to beta would arise from (and often deepen) our friendships. I still beta for one of my friends even tho we're not in the same fandoms any longer.

If you don't have any possibilities right now, ask some of the writers you like if they'd be willing to look over your story. Be specific about what kind of critique you're looking for, like continuity, pacing, characterization, etc. and let them know what level of thoroughness you want. I tend to be a very thorough beta, which is exactly what some writers want, but which others might consider nit-picky. I appreciate knowing if someone just wants me to point out the most glaring errors (which takes a lot less time.)

tl:dr version is: it's rare to just find a good beta like a lucky penny. The best ones are relationships that you develop. Fortunately, they can develop pretty fast.
