Looking for a beta reader

I don't know how to start this, but it's really my first time trying to find people to read my stories and get feedback on it, since I started writing I always wanted one, because I like the idea of being able to understand another person's point of view about writing.

Lately I'm having a hard time proofreading the stories myself because I proofread them in my original language (Spanish) and then translate them into English (something that takes a lot of work and makes me wonder if the story is translating minimally to what I want to express after all) plus I'm wanting to write a lot more than a thousand words and develop my ideas a bit more now that I have free time before I start my classes. In the end it gets a bit confusing not having someone who can guide me in the translation and at the same time start to get more involved in the plot of my characters.

I understand superficially how Beta's work, however, since I am about to come into contact with this type of reader for the first time, I would like you to bear with me if you plan to interact with this post to find out more about what I wrote.

For now I'm focused on writing stories about Formula 1, you don't need to understand much about this sport if you are not a fan since I didn't touch too technical details during the stories. Anyway, it would add a lot of points to it if you are a fan. :)

hey guys, as i’ve mentioned briefly here and there before, i am currently writing a chibs telford series (home is with you) and as of writing this i’ve just finished up chapter one. i’d love for someone to beta read, just as this series is my actual pride and joy and the most nervous i’ve ever been to post my writing

i've been nursing this fic since august, so i want it to be the best i can make it. it's my literal child at this point, and i want nothing but the best for it — as sappy as that might sound

** has now been filled, thank you to the lovely people who have read it 🫶

beta reader for a Dead Boy Detectives oneshot?

So… I’ve been working on this thing for months now. Originally I thought I might get it done for Payneland week 😅 well long story short, I didn’t. But thanks to my wonderful weekly writing group, I finally finished the first draft!

I’m not going to read it again myself for at least another week, and I really would love to get some fresh eyes on it that are not my own. It’s about 7k words of introspective character study with a happy ending 😂 so does anybody in the fandom want to look this over for me?

It takes place right after the end of season 1 and has zero plot and a lot of dialogue. It’s very much a case of yet another cake I think. ☺️ If that sounds like something you’d like to help me polish, hit me up via dm or reply!

(Bonus if you’d like to test the feedback options on Ellipsus with me.)

Hey! Just out of curiosity (I would be fine with or out) but would anyone be interested in being a beta for something I’m beginning to write?

It’s for my Zombie Stomp au and I’m not nearly as confident about this one like I am other things I’ve written and I just need help figuring out if something flows right or wrong. (I could also beta for other authors who need it if they wanted me to) but I would most likely send either full chapters or snippets of chapters depending on what you would want. 😭

But here is a quick description of the plot

Eddie Munson finds himself alone and nowhere to go when he gets separated from his uncle in the middle of California and on their way to Wayne’s childhood home in Georgia. Forced to travel on his own he ends up lost in Oregon, the completely opposite direction from Georgia and finds himself in a life or death situation with a complete stranger. Said stranger being Steve Harrington, a man who is slightly hard of hearing Eddie discovers and unable to talk. Why that is he isn’t sure, but he does know Steve knows how to survive a lot better than Eddie can.

Conveniently Steve happens to be heading to the same state as Eddie and both agree that it would be safer to travel together rather than by themselves. Starting off on the wrong foot the two bicker in their own way through numerous states but grow a bond that Eddie never expected to have, even before the world went to shit. Carrying more than dried up expo markers, Steve has a mysterious past that Eddie wants to explore. Even if that means it may break the bond the two of them have worked so hard to build.

Just message me if anyone is interested! (And if anyone needs a beta reader I’m also willing to as well :)

I was thinking that I'd need a beta reader for my Nanatsu fanfic but I don't have enough moots to ask to.

But I'll try and give it a shot regardless.

Anyone interested in being a beta for a nnt fanfic which is a retelling of the original, with expanded lore and OCs from Arthuriana?

It is supposed to feature three different generations of Knights of the Round Table, but.. One step at a time 😂

Here you can find part 1 and 2 of my HCs, some characters sketches, a mini-comic and one sketch from the first chapters, and one mini-comic from much further along in the plot.

My asks and dms are open!

[talibunny30]

Because I am brand new to writing and I may have a slight (read massive) perfectionist issue, I was wondering if any of you amazing people would be open to being a beta for my story Echoes of Resilience?

Hello Everybody I need some help with finding Alpha's and Betas for a Merthur longfic

HI! So I'm still looking for an alpha for the third of the Merlin fanfics in this series (It's my Arthur returns and merthur happens fanfic world) I have a ton of it (The third one) written but I know some things are off/missing and not sure about pacing and know there are more scenes I gotta add! (trying to figure out what) Thats what I need Alphas for

(As always I will ALSO need Beta's for the more traditional Spag and other stuff! I have Heavy Learning disabilites)

The third one deals with having the Sidhe as enemies and the burdens of being immortal and gives us our merthur wedding at the end. Its around 50K words ATM

[hellishworm]

[k1tteng1rl]

I just wrote a little one-shot, I'd love for someone to read it and be my Beta Reader! (for those who want to volunteer, it is written in both Spanish and English) <3.

LOOKING FOR A BETA READER!

MHA X BSD fan fiction - In progress - No proper update schedule but aiming for biweekly

Hello! I’m InfinityIdk and I am looking for a beta reader for my MHA X BSD fan fiction Clap Snap Boom. Being posted on A03 and Wattpad.

https://archive.transformativeworks.org/works/63112105/chapters/161622361#workskin

https://www.wattpad.com/story/393137958-clap-snap-boom

About the fanfic!

Title: Clap Snap Boom!

Summary:

Reputations lead to rumours, and rumours have a tendency to run free. So when rumours of the infamous Double Black reach the Pro Heroes, the organization of the shadows is in the eyes of the light.

So now the Pros Focus is on the big bad mafia. But if they were to focus on reforming Double Black, then the situation would be put in Double Black's control.

And it would be disgusting to not save these orphans? Who had no guide in the world, who were forced and manipulated by evil men to be heartless killers by a brutal, unforgiving world?

I mean- have I mentioned they don't have parents?

_+-*-+_

Or: Double Black is put into a villain reformation program at UA as its first unwilling participants. (Though they have more control than UA thinks.)

Current word count: (around) 15k

Tone: Dark Comedy (the actually funny kind I hope)

NO smut, platonic relationships unless decided otherwise, and of course, fluff, angst, and humour

Though it will have semi graphic violence, and if gore is necessary in will be non-descript

What I’m looking for in a beta reader:

Critiques on:

Grammar

Word choice (Ex. If I’m overusing a word)

Plot/Plotholes

Characterization

Clarity

Pacing

And I’d also like to know the reaction they had to certain parts. If I’m trying to make my readers sad but the beta reads it and feels happy, I might need to tweak the tone.

Please be friendly but not people pleasing. You also do not have to be extremely professional or serious, you can give comments in abbreviations for all I care- just be creative, get your comment across, and help me improve my fan fiction. You don’t have to be a professional, just help me improve my fanfiction.

ALSO! MUST BE WELL VERSED IN THE BNHA/MHA AND BSD UNIVERSES!

Hello everyone! This might be a long shot but I’m looking for a long term beta!

I’m writing a my hero academia fan fiction, and hoping to find a beta who is able to stay with me long term through the course of this fic! (Beta must be 18+)

Please make sure you’re okay with the content of my fic!!:

- Izuku Midoriya centric

- out of character Midoriya

- trans/gender nonconforming Midoriya

- AFAB Midoriya

- childhood sexual assult

- rape

- child sex work

- underage drinking

- alcoholism

- underage drug use

- self harm

- self hatred

- suicidal thoughts

- terminal character

This is all of the main stuff, there’s probably little things I’m missing as I’m in the earlier stages of development. If you’re interested in being a beta, are 18+, and are okay with all of the content listed above, please DM me! You can DM here or on discord (togas.diary)

Thank you!

Well, I’m gonna try this and see what happens

Hi, I’m looking for a beta. I spent last November rewriting a long fic I wrote in 2020, and I’m looking for someone to do SPAG and generally look for rough spots/holes I’m missing.

The fandom is Legend of Zelda, though it is not attached to a specific game. A working knowledge of Zelda lore is probably helpful, but honestly I didn’t have that when I was writing it.

The rewrite is done and clocks in at about 103k (the original fic - which I will link here - was 88k). It’s a character driven adventure story with a slow burn romance, though that is not the focus of the story. There is smut (and I’m probably rewriting that as I’m not really happy with it) and the pairing is M/F

My original plan was to have my usual beta do the work, but they have a lot going on in their personal life and are unable to do it. This fic is my baby, but I’m not really precious about it- I take crit well. Ihave not started posting it as I really want a second set of eyeballs first and I’m not planning on posting until I have a decent buffer for it -and then I’m planning weekly.

I don’t feel my own editing skills are great so I hesitate to offer beta work in return. I can write something for you in return, if you like my style- we can discuss specifics if needed

Hi! I’m looking for a beta reader to bounce ideas off of. I’m not so much looking for grammar (that’s also welcome) but mostly brainstorming etc., specifically buddie besides posting on here does anyone have any recs on where else to ask? Thanks! 🙂
