I would be Happy to Beta anything. The only thing I wouldn't do is Harry, or one of the other characters meeting a real-life famous celebrity. Contact me any time

Screen Name/Preferable Name: BRoyals is my screen name, but I would perfer to be called Kel

Reply back through PM or E-mail (if E-mail, insert the address here): If you want you can PM me for my e-mail address, otherwise you can just use PM. I check both regularily

Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta: I'l beta anything but slash or student/ teacher fics. I will beta anything really after that. I also perfer canon fics.

Additional note: I'm usually pretty good at picking out errors, and I am on VTM mostly every day. I am good at giving constructive critism. I'll be happy to beta fics for anyone.

I'd love to beta for anyone who needs it; I'm going through issues with my own writing, and editing gives me a chance to rest my brain, and focus on something else. Most of my writing is darker/more adult, but I can edit just about anything. Same with my weird writing styles; from first person, to stream of consciousness.

Screen Name: La MaitressedeMort

Preferable Name: Aeryn (it's much shorter)

Reply back through: PM, but if I don't get back to you within a few days, E-mail me @ Jakin_drago@yahoo.com

Ships you'd prefer to beta: Anything logical (I'm more comfortable with the ships that are plausible, it's harder to justify a ship that has no basis in the books), but I can help to argue for it if you can give me proof it could happen. So pretty much anything

Ships you won't beta: None; I might not agree with the ship, but I'm a nerd, so I can find claims to support any point of view even if I don't believe in it.

Additional Note: (well, everyone else had one) I'm not going to mention my high school grades cause they don't matter in college, but I did IB, and passed, so I can argue about everything, find logical fallacies in any argument, and write an 2,000 word essay in three hours on Crime and Punishment, and get an A. We might have reputations of being slackers, but since I'm probably majoring in English along with something slightly more practical, that stereotype tends not to apply when it comes to creative writing.

Hope that helps!

Screen Name/Preferable Name: It's Ginny.Weasley, but I really prefer Lauren.

Reply back through PM or E-mail (if E-mail, insert the address here): If you're interested, just send me a PM and I'll give you my email from there.

Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta: I would beta probably just about anything except for same sex relationships. I really love Original Characters, as well as stories about the Marauders and Lily, however I do like the other categories.

Additional note: I'm not an official beta, nor have I beta-ed a work here on Veritaserum, but I do beta other people's work on fanfiction.net. I love leaving feedback and giving helpful criticism to make a story better. I also love asking questions that will make you think, it helps when the author has writer's block. I love the English language and I'm also fluent in French.

Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta: I'll beta anything and everything. I love to read what people come up with so anything HP related is fine by me!

Additional note: I'm a top grade English student. I'm also a total grammar freak and am usually very good at finding mistakes. I'd be able to edit things very quickly.

Thanks

EDIT: Had to change the contact info. I can't seem to read Owls and/or send them. Not sure what's happening.

Screen name: Harry James Potter, HJP, or Nick

Way to reach me: PM

Ships: I'll beta any ship except for student/teacher ships. I'm a supporter of the H/Hr ship but I understand all the ships and would keep my bias out of it.

Additional Note: I live in the United States and my primary language is English. I am a pretty darn good english student. I've had to write reports 30 pages long in college, so I've got a pretty vast knowledge of the literary world. Umm, if you want a sample of my writing you can read my fanfic. The link is in my signature, it's a pretty good example of my style. Oh, and I'm on VTM daily so you'll have no trouble finding me.

Reply back through: PM

Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta: I'll pretty much betta any ships the one i really don't like very much is H/Hr, I will beta it if I must, but I wouldn't like my writer to have a biased beta.

Additional note: I am an English honors student, and I am a total grammar freak! I almost never miss a typo. I'm a perfectionist so I really will try to find every mistake and try to help some sentences that don't really flow. I'm on VTM at least 2 times a week but usually more!

~Kate

Screen Name/Preferable Name: IaPotterLvr but prefer Jan

Reply back through PM or E-mail (jangard@cox.net): Either one is fine.

Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta: Nothing too gory, nothing same sex, no Mary-Sue. Otherwise, I'm open!

Additional note: I love reading! I am very aware of what it is like to put yourself out there by allowing others to see your work and respect those who do!

I have been reading quite a few of the fan fics and there are many out there that are absolutely great! I can hardly believe the talent! At the same time, misspellings, bad grammar, etc... drive me crazy and almost ruin a story for me!! I know that as a writer sometimes you are frantically trying to get a story down and are not necessarily concerned with spelling, grammar, etc...So, Please, if you are an author, use a proof-reader!

I am happy to be a beta in my spare time

Preferable name: Alastorlet or Ellie

Please contact me through PM

I don't really have many preferences, but I'm not a big fan of HG/SS or same sex fics and I like stories with some of the evil characters (Tom Riddle, Snape, Bellatrix, the Malfoys etc.) play prominent roles.

Additional note: I'm still at school, so the best time to contact me would be at the weekend. Somedays, it may take a little while for me to get back to you, as I have my own fanfics as well, but I will be as dedicated as I can. If you want my REAL opinion, you sort of need to ask for it, because I feel bad about telling people things that are wrong with their work. Oh, and my computer spell check is programmed to BRITISH spelling, so if your using American spelling, make sure to tell me.

Hope to hear from you

Preferable name: hot-for-harry or Alyssa

Please PM me!

Preferable Ships: I'll do any ships! Any and all! Although I will say that I'm a big fan of DM/HG ships! But yeah, I'll do any!

Additional note: I'm currently editor of a newspaper so I'm pretty good at correcting grammar and spelling mistakes! I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible and if you have a deadline it will be back to you by then. However, if I'm very busy, I'll let you know so that I'm not holding you up. I'll give you my honest opinion, but believe me, I won't be harsh. I feel terrible telling people something mean. So I'll be helpful but not rude about it!

Feel free to PM me!

Screen Name/Preferable Name: I would like to be called Angeline (Ann, Angie, Annie, whatever floats your boat), but my PM and screen name is ravenclaw_chick.

Reply back through PM or E-mail (if E-mail, insert the address here): I would prefer PM, please

Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta: I will beta most ships, but I'd prefer not to beta Severus Snape/Hermione Granger fan fictions and I don't like Hermione/Harry or Hermione/Draco ships, either, but it's ok if you'd like me to beta them anyway. (I guess I'm just not a fan of people getting paired with others who they aren't with in the books, sorry.)

Additional note: I write my own fanfictions, too, but I should still be able to beta. I'm on most of the time (unless, of course, I get the computer taken away, but that hasn't happened for a while). I am always correcting my friends' grammar and even when texting and IMing people I use correct capitalization and punctuation (sometimes). People are also always asking me for spelling advice, so I guess I can spell, too. I absolutely adore reading other people's stories, so I just know I'd love beta-ing for you! Also, please tell me what you'd like me to fix and what you wouldn't when you PM me, because I don't want to annoy you by saying too much or too little.

~Angeline

PS: if you want me to beta for you and you have a few more questions, feel free to ask!

Screen Name/Preferable Name: My screen name name's Petey Pettygrew but just call me Petey or Aaron.

Reply back through PM or E-mail (if E-mail, insert the address here): PM please

Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta: I'm not fussy but same sex and people paired wth unrealistic partners. I will beta anything non-ship also.

Additional note: I'm very good at English, spelling, writing and editing and grammer. I have taken a couple of creative writing classes and I will offer constructive criticism if needed. I'm also on VTM at least 5 times a week, being gone on the weekends a lot.
Good luck with your work!

Screen Name/Preferable Name: Just call me Jasmine, please and thanks. (:

Reply back through PM or E-mail (if E-mail, insert the address here): Either or; if you want to through e-mail, PM me and I'll send it to you.

Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta: I really like anything Marauder. I won't beta slash (same-sex), sorry. OH, and I can't do Founders, if anyone has them on here. o.o But I like almost every other pairing, it doesn't matter to me. (:

Additional note: I really like English; this means that I'm a spelling and grammar stickler. I also, when commenting on stuff, tend to ramble. A LOT. But always complimentary. (: I'll do ConCrit if you'd like, about staying IC and such. And... I think that's it. (:

Screen Name/Preferable Name: mugglelovrspew, but you can call me Kiersten if you'd like, which is what I'd prefer.

Reply back through PM or E-mail (if E-mail, insert the address here): Just PM me, I'm most likely on every day or every other day, depending. And if not... 3 or 4 days would be the most, if that long, which would be rare, that it would take to get back to you unless I say otherwise

Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta: I won't do slash ships just because I don't feel I could give you correct feedback on character development. I'm not against it at all, I'm just not a very good writer or judge of it when that's what it comes to. Pretty much anything else, I will do and am pretty open on. I'll tell you after reading if there's some reason I won't do a very common known ship, though.

Additional note: I'm a pretty grammer obsessed person. I use a beta myself, because it's always good to double check your writing. But I'll reread it through and make sure to do the best I can. If you don't want me to be harsh if needed, then I won't be. But I'm usually pretty nice on, trying to give actual feedback instead of always saying, "It's good." you know? Just thought I'd volunteer since not many people are on here anymore

Screen Name/Preferable Name:
honey~pie.

Reply back through PM or E-mail (if E-mail, insert the address here):
PM. But if you prefer E-mail then it's in my profile.

Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta:
I'd be willing to do any, except slash ships [I'm totally not against it btw, I'm just not a good judge when it comes to same-sex 'ship fics.] And I also wont do fics about the founders of Hogwarts as I don't know much about them and I won't be able to give correct feedback. Sorry

Additional note: I won't be too harsh, just give the correct facts. But i'm usually nice anyway so it doesn't matter . And I'm usually good at English and grammar so I'd most-likely pick out any mistakes.
I'm usually on every day, so I'll try my best to reply asap.

Reply back through PM or E-mail (if E-mail, insert the address here):

I've found that PM is best for little messages but for chapter review/editing..definitely email me at nicholas.fabbio@hws.edu

Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta::

I'll jump on the chance to beta a H/Hr ship. But I'll also do any ship you want except for student/professor relationships

Additional note:

I've been an "unofficial beta" for quite some time. I've edited quite a few fanfics here already so I'm experienced. Let's see...I'm very, and I mean very, good with english (grammar, spelling, etc.). So I'll be able to catch most (if not all) of your mistakes. I'm very friendly but won't hesitate to tell you what's what. If you want a sample of my writing, check out my fanfic in my signature.

Reply back through PM or E-mail (if E-mail, insert the address here):
I would prefer PM, because then it wouldn't accidentally be put into spam, and also, I don't check my e-mail nearly as regularly as I check this site (also, I've only been on here for about three days, but regardless I know that I absolutely LOVE this website )
Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta:
Eh, i'm really fine with anything. - My only problem is, knowing exactly what counts for which rating (like PG, or G or PG 13 - I don't know what qualities pertain to each)

But... I adore rose/scorpious parings, they are my VERY favorite.

I would absolutely adore being a beta because I LOVE reading fan fictions (I also make up ideas - but I really don't like writing them ) and I would be glad to help anyone in need!!!

Screen Name/Preferable Name:
Call me Megz or whatever your little heart desires.


Reply back through PM or E-mail (if E-mail, insert the address here):
Please PM me here on VTM.


Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta:
I don't have any that I refuse to beta, but I prefer Marauders era to Harry at school era. Also I prefer no same-sex ships, but I'm not a hater.


Additional note:
I am writing a fanfiction right now, and if that one starts to go very smoothly I will write another in Marauder era. That doesn't mean that my "beta responsibilities" should lack in my time and effort though. If I happen to have way too much on my plate, (not likely though, don't worry) I will recommend other betas and still offer to edit their story once I have things straightened out. I will try to start editing once I get the PM and try to get the chapter back AS SOON AS I CAN. If I am otherwise engaged and should cause no response for awhile, I will PM you and tell you. I will try to be as professional as possible, yet still offer my insight. Thank you, any questions at all, please PM me.


Looking back I realize that I had already posted in this thread. Please disregard that previous post and rely on this one instead for it is more updated and accurate. Thanks again.

Reply back through PM or E-mail (if E-mail, insert the address here):
PMing is good, thanks!


Ships you'd prefer to beta/won't beta:
I will beta anything really, though I may not be a very good judge when it comes to same-sex relationships.


Additional note:
I'm pretty good at English, so I should be able to correct it pretty well. I'm never really too busy on weekdays, and you should get your chapter back in four days at the very very most .
