Beta Request - Tumblr Posts
Beta-Reader Wanted!
Hi, my loves!
You probably read my Self-Doubt entrance.
A nice person comforted me and gave me a tip, which may help to make my writing better.
Since I have no friends and my real-life friends aren't in fandoms, I'm announcing here the search for a Beta-Reader!
If you are interested, send me a message!
If you can't please reblog this entrance till I find one!
Have a nice day/night!
UPDATE!
I want to add that I need a Beta-Reader who is only often so we can talk and it would be great if you have Discord.
That's all my loves!
When are they going to release alpha readers and omega readers? I mean I like my beta reader, but the sexual tension is really lacking rn.
Hi,
I was wondering if any Rise fans could beta read this Leosagi fic. It’s short and incomplete, but I’m working on rewriting it soon. The purpose for me asking for a beta-reader is to see how I can improve on my writing based on narrative, grammar, or any issues that stand out. I would like good and bad feedback so I am sure on what I need to improve and what I am at least pretty good at.
I’m going to put the story link in the comments since Tumblr wont allow me to add it to the post.
Thank you!
Beta reader needed!!!
Hiii!!! I'm writing a Peter Parker in Gotham fic and I need someone to beta for me!! Comment/Dm if you're interested please :D (not for spelling or grammar or anything like that but for flow and plot issues)
If you have discord that's great, feel free to DM me on there @inkyforg
Hello Klance fans and the like!
Hey yall, does anyone here go to/have in-depth knowledge on med school? I’m writing a fic and since one of the characters goes to med school I want to make sure I have the correct info and setup for that. I would appreciate someone to be able to read over and give edits on some sections in the future and help answer questions :) please dm me if you have info/are willing to help! Also, if you don’t want to read parts of the fic and you just want to answer questions/explain the journey of becoming a doctor that would also be greatly appreciated! thx
I’m re-reading my favorite book series (The Girl Who Dared To Think by Bella Forrest, it’s a sci-fi dystopia set in the future when the world basically dies and becomes toxic and if anyone is curious I can and will go further in depth about it but anyways) and I’ve been blasted with a wonderful idea for a fanfiction.
But there’s literally no point because I have never met someone else who has read this series and I require human validation for any works I make or else I just get disillusioned with them which is really unfortunate.
But damn do I want to write it
Hey, beta readers and writers of tumblr, I have a question
How long does it take to beta read a thing? Approximately 13 000 words one-shot (dpxdc gen fanfic)(haven't finished it, so I'm low-key guessing it may grow a bit). I'm curious because I wanted to post my next work on a specific date, and I wanted to make it special and had it checked by an actual person and not Grammarly, and I need to know if I have time for it, hah
Also, if someone would be interested in beta reading it, I'll platonically kiss you (or hug, or like, draw something for you, I'm flexible in a ways of showing gratitude)
You remember this? I finally finished first draft (idk how many words it actually has since most of my wips start on paper and stay there for longer time, over 10 000 for sure).
Now I just heve to digitalize it and would someone want and be able to beta read it? I haven't asked for beta read before so I have no idea how it works but I can draw or write something for you in return?? It's like, bunch of scenes so I can send it in parts if it helps???? I honestly don't know, tell me your requierments, really
one-shot snippet
Duke was running out of fumes to run on. The last few days would be exhausting if it was just vigilante or just civilian stuff but no, he had to have it both. Because of Arkham break out, he had been called in three nights in a row, not for a whole patrol but he couldn't exactly sleep it off during the day like others did, especially not in a week when every teacher decided they needed to have test or quiz or what not. Naps meant he wasn't as sleep-deprived as he could be but he needed far more. But he couldn't because crime in Gotham never sleeps so he had normal patrol to finish and there were about two hours left.
Would something bad happen if he just stopped for a moment and laid on a roof? Ten up to fifteen minutes. It was a slow day too…
Yeah, no, he deserved a moment to rest and if something disastrous was to happen in the meantime he would shame other Bats for not giving him enough time to sleep.
It certainly said something that he found gravel covering this roof to be quite comfortable. He set a timer for ten minutes and let himself close his eyes.
When the loud screech of the timer jolted him awake, he was suddenly fully aware that he wasn't alone anymore. He sat up a little too quickly.
"Oh, you're awake" white white-haired girl around Damian's age chimed, sitting cross-legged just a few feet away from him. She wore something that could only be described as a lab safety hazmat suit, white and black with popping green accents. When had Gotham gotten a new vigilante/villain/whoever the girl was? "Good, I just returned from a snack hunt," she added, gesturing at a big textile bag lying next to her. Duke didn't have enough brainpower to do anything more than ask.
"What?"
The girl shrugged, take-out from BatBurger in her hand.
"You look like you have a bad day if not a few days, so I've got you my cousin's bad day combo or at least the closest thing I could. BatBurger burger isn't as good as NastyBurger but you certainly have better fries" As she spoke, a second take-out bag, 1 liter bottle of energy drink, juice bottle of the same size, and pack of convenience store brownies joined greasy paper bag sealed with a sticker.
"Is your cousin a speedster?" Excuse Duke, it was a totally valid question, he saw with his bare eyes both Wally West and Bart Allen when they visited Manor. No one else would be able to stomach the amount of food they inhaled during their stays.
"Nah, we're not that fast or that hungry. Though I think I may get closer to the speed of sound." So, clearly, a meta if white hair and weir aura that let his eyes rest weren't enough indication "My cousin when he has a bad few days often forgets to eat so this combo has to help with there too. But I'll steal your fries of course."
Duke was not going to look a gift horse in the teeth, so he grabbed one bag and tore it open. There was a classic combo with bigger fries and NightWings inside.
"Thank you…" he trailed off, hoping that the girl would take a clue and introduce herself but she didn't. She just drowned her fries in ketchup and started munching. She had her own juice.
"My cousin always said that each part of this combo has a different purpose." she explained instead, slightly muffled because of the fries in her mouth "This" she gestured towards the fast food meal "is to soothe your stomach. This "she tapped energy drink "is to soothe your brain and kick it back online. This "she raised a bottle of juice "is to soothe your taste buds because energy drinks are war crime against them and this "she nudged brownies "is to soothe your heart because Ancients damn it, this day is awful and you deserve it. At least that's what he told me when I had day bad enough to deserve that" she shrugged, licking ketchup of her finger. Suddenly she froze "You aren't allergic, are you?
"No, I'm not" he confessed bewildered.
"Good"
For a long moment, they sat in silence, devouring food the little girl brought. Duke distantly wondered if this was how the night shift spent their snack breaks. It felt nice.
He was finishing his part of the brownies when the girl spoke up again.
"Do you feel better now?"
"Yeah," he was a little surprised to realize that t it was true. He'll have to note down what she put in this 'bad day combo'. "Thank you"
"Don't mention it." she shrugged with a general gesture of dismissal "You're one of my cousin's favorite heroes because you're vaguely his age and handle Gotham alone during the day and I quote "She did honest or God air quotes at that" 'As only hero in Amity-' which is a lie by the way, Val is doing great and even if he suddenly got problem with how she feels about his alter ego, he still has Sam and Tuck even if they're usually more of moral support. And I helped when I visited, so no, he isn't the only one. Anyway as he said 'As the only hero in Amity, my heart goes out for anyone who deals with this type of bullshit so Dani if you absolutely have to prank heroes, leave them out of it, especially Signal, he can't be older than Jazz, he doesn't need any more mess to handle.' All aliens and lanterns are also off-limits because he is a space nerd. But you aren't space-related so I'm like 80% percent sure he has a celebrity crush on you" She slurped more juice, unbothered.
Duke was thankful he wasn't swallowing anything because for sure she would choke. He took a split second to consider addressing… this whole situation and choose against it. He was not ready to be anyone's celebrity crush.
"Your name is Danny?" he asked instead.
"Dani" she corrected" with an I"
"Ok. It's nice to meet you Dani-with-an-I" She giggled, nodding her head slightly.
"It's nice to meet you too Signal"
Duke stood up, stretching a little. Dani joined him after hastily putting all the trash in her bag. She was a little higher than expected.
"I have to get back to my patrol"
"Cool," she drifted back a bit, making him realize that she was floating a few inches above the ground. She fixed her bag on her arm.
"Hey, can I hang out a little bit more? My cousin will go green out of jealousy when I tell him" she added with a mischievous smirk but Duke could tell there was more to it. He took a moment to consider it, which apparently made the girl nervous "I can be invisible the whole time, like before." she offered, disappearing in the meantime. He could still tell where she was, because of her heat signature, and aura but for regular people, she would be no different than the surrounding air.
"Yeah, you can hang around and you don't have to be invisible. Just don't get in my way when I have to actually do some fighting."
She popped back to the visible spectrum and pouted like Damian whenever he got benched.
" I can fight, y'know? I stopped mugging on a snack run."
It was ten goddamn minutes, how could she get so much food and stop a mugging in such a short time?!
Oh, right, superspeed. Still, impressive.
"I haven't seen it" he started, channeling all Dick-trying-to-wrangle-Damian-into-socially-acceptable-activity' energy he could muster "So I don't know how you fight or even what powers you have. If we tried to fight together we would trip over each other" It was a bare-faced lie, Bat Training made sure of that but he knew for a fact that if he said anything else, the girl would be mad and probably did her own thing.
Was that what Bruce thought about all of them?
Oh no.
Dani still looked displeased but after a moment of consideration, she nodded with a defeated sigh.
Suddenly she straightened like she got struck by lightning and whipped around.
"Wha-"
She just shushed raising her finger to her mouth. Duke did indeed quieten.
"I have enhanced hearing" she whispered "There is a mugging somewhere this way."
"Let's go then" he shot his grapple, waving his other hand at Dani to come with him before he jumped off the roof. He heard the girl giggle as she flew right after him.
" After this, you'll show me the coolest gargoyles, okay? Sam asked for photos"
"Okay"
It seemed that the end of this patrol wouldn't be as bad as the start was. Hopefully.
And afterward, he was going to lock himself in his room until the sky fell or he was well rested.
Yeah, that was a good plan.
*******
how do you like it?
Jikook fic beta reader wanted 🙏
After taking a bit of a break, I'm working on a new Jikook Fic and am hoping to find a beta reader to help improve and elevate my work through brutal honesty! I only wrote Jikook fics and have been hoping to finish a couple more before I retire or move on to other works.
My past Jikook Fics have been mostly unfinished, with my first completed fic being completed last year:
Knock On My Door
If you'd be keen please let me know. Would love to hear from you!
Looking for a beta reader for
Curiosity Killed... the Dog?
Question:
I have a paragraph that I've edited & and rewritten, like 15x. I think it reads weird but I thought I'd ask you guys.
This could technically be considered a sneak peek of Curiosity Killed... the Dog?
Anyway, here's the paragraph. Any opinions on it?
Sesshomaru's eyebrows rose as surprise registered on his face. The kit thought himself a burden? Was he not the Miko's kit? She would never allow him to think such a thing, so someone else must have said something to him.
But who dared to speak such egregious words to the boy? The demon lord's eyes narrowed as he searched for the culprit, though he had a good idea of who was to blame. He was ready to unleash his wrath upon the baka who dared to emotionally harm a child left in his care, however temporary it may be. “Why would you think that you would be discarded in the Mikos' absence?”
BETA READER NEEDED!
I’m currently looking for a beta reader for the Stucky fic I’m writing. It’s abo and there are adult scenes and themes so looking for someone +18. I’m mostly in need of someone who can read through it to notice any inconsistencies, pacing issues, and share their overall opinion.
If you’re available and interested please let me know and I can provide you with more information about the plot.
:)
Beta Readers Wanted!
I am nearing the end of my edits, so I wanted to put out a survey to gauge interest for this story! I plan to send the draft to readers by the end of the month, so this is a preliminary way for me to get organized and figure out how I'm going to conduct this process. If you're interested in helping me improve this story, please fill out the survey in the post (and its linked here), and I'll reach out to you shortly about logistics! This is the first time I've ever requested beta readers, so bear with me while I iron out the bumps. All the relevant information is in the survey, but I'll copy the important parts here too:
Runaways is ~35-40K words long.
Middle Grade Novel/YA Novella
Genre: Faerie Portal Fantasy Adventure/Rescue Misson. WIP Page
Themes of betrayal, forgiveness, and sisterly love
TW for mentions of child abuse, on-page mind control, and rats. Targeted for ages 10-14 so it is not overly graphic.
Expected reading period: Two months between Oct. 31 and Dec. 31 to finish the book and leave feedback.
I'm looking for developmental edits on character arcs, plot holes, if the world building makes sense, general story structure, and pacing, not grammar and flow issues on a line-by-line level.
Thank you so much for your support! I couldn't have finished this story in the first place if it wasn't for this wonderful writeblr community. Even if you don't sign up to beta read, please consider giving this post a boost so it can reach the people who would like to read it <3
The post also includes my regularly scheduled goals list. Idk if anyone cares about that but now that I have your attention I'll tell you that's included too lol. This last month was a win! Somehow? Despite midterms! Check out all the updates :)
Have you thought about getting a beta reader? Your writing reads as the work of someone fairly young and inexperienced, and it could be helpful to get a second set of eyes on the flow
My friend does beta read for me, but not all the time is she available. I am fairly young but I would like to think that I'm not extremely inexperienced, but still have more to learn. I am always welcoming help, so if anyone sees this and wants to beta read for me, feel free to message me.
Second chapter of my TMA fic, Tired Eyes and Broken Shadows, should be out soon. The chapter is pretty short atm, but that might change when I edit it.
Anyway I’m looking for more people to beta read it as I enjoy getting lots of advice and critique from a verity of sources. If you’re interested here’s some info so you can make up your mind about wether or not to dm me about it:
•How long would this fic be?
I plan on it being a very long fic, let’s say 30k words as an incredibly rough estimate. While I plan on this being long, I don’t mind if you decide you want to stop beta reading for me at any point.
•what kind of fic is it?
It’s an alternate universe of The Magnus Archives, specifically a Somewhere Else AU. In this AU, Jon and Martin, the main ship in the fandom, have been sent back in time to 4000 B.C., and have become functionally immortal. This is a backdrop for when the main character of the fix (an oc named Caine) being taken in by them in the modern era. It explores Caine adjusting to a normal life after being taken out of an extremely abusive home as he tries to figure out what he is.
•what kind of trigger warnings would be common
Common trigger warnings would be: unethical testing, dysphoria, negative self talk, child abuse, childhood trauma, eyes in places eyes shouldn’t be, loneliness, consuming darkness, cannon-typical tma horror stuff, and potentially Suicidal ideation although I doubt I’ll delve too deep into that.
•what kinda beta reader are you looking for?
I’m looking for bothe beta readers who would spellcheck, and beta readers who would help me brainstorm (even just by listening to me ramble about the plot.) and give constructive criticism about the story.
Feel free to ask other questions in my notes or my dms.
If I ask nicely can I have a beta reader who's god-like at grammar 🕴
