Beta Readers: Needed and Wanted!

[jaina47.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I'm not going to do any official beta reader matching here.  Matching the stories taxed the extent of my match-making skills and we all know how that ended up, at any rate.  But the point is this post is here. 

If you would like to volunteer to be a beta reader, post in the comments.  

If you think you might have some free time, and you have a story that you think might need to be beta'd, you might consider volunteering as a beta for purposes of reciprocity. 

And if you don't have don't have any free time, but still need a beta, post here too.

Monday I'll post a list of people who have volunteered to beta and those who need a beta.  Then the people on those lists can take a look at the names and hopefully contact one another and work something out.  Hopefully that will be helpful.  If you can't find a beta this way, I would suggest going to any of the other main NCIS fic communities and asking about a beta. Generally people are very willing to help.  

And don't worry, if you haven't posted in the comments before Monday but still want to volunteer or need a beta, I will continue to update the list.

I would be willing to beta. I do prefer slash or gen to het.

I can be a beta!

The jury is still out on whether I'll request one for myself.

I can beta, preferably slash. (Even more preferably Tony/Gibbs, but hey.)

Sure, I can beta. I'm not in the writing, this time, but if someone needs something looked over, I can.

I need a beta. Prefer not to reveal the grouping here in case of being identified by the requester but it's a mixed threesome.

I totally need a beta to do grammar/spelling stuff and just to make sure I haven't painted myself into any kind of bad plot corners.

I can also beta for plot, characterization, so on, especially coming out stories.

I can beta as well. Season wise I'm best with the first 3 and the last one. I'm good with grammar, but better with plot and content. I just can't beta my own writing. It breeds new plots.
