Beta-begging time.

[amanuensis1]

Okay, beta-begging time. I hope to have several stories done in the next few weeks for pornish_pixies, and would love to find some beta testers who have the time and interest.

Starting with the one I just finished. Anybody up for some real squickfic here? (I'll give you more details if you need.) shaggirl, you volunteered, I don't know if you're around and/or up for this one-- you and/or anyone else? About 3500 words.

(And note very bene: if you've beta'd for me in the past and are wondering why I'm not just emailing you instead of soliciting openly on lj, I am, simply, shy about going back to people who have done such marvelous service for me in the past and asking them to keep making the effort AGAIN, as if they have nothing better to do with their time. To everyone who's ever beta'd for me: you are all fabulous and I would be overwhelmed with gratitude if you offered for this or any future story, truly. Fabula, Isis, Nim, Clue, Flora, Gwen, Shaggirl, Skuf, alla you--you know who you are. It's just that I'm nervous about looking as though I've got Entitlement Syndrome.)

Hi! :) I'm up for some squick, if you're still looking for betas. :)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yes! And since you're okay with squick, I'll send you this one.

[silentauror.livejournal.com]

Sure! :) silentauror@yahoo.com.

[maidengurl.livejournal.com]

I have read many of your stories and would be honored to help beta if you are still looking for assistance. suziq at alamedanet dot net

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

You're awesome. Thank you so much; I shall hit you up if you're willing, then!

[maidengurl.livejournal.com]

Cool! I think I'm fairly squick-proof. *grin*

[twigged.livejournal.com]

I'll be around tonight and would be happy to beta for you. Just send it on!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Thank you thank you! I'll send it out soon!

[pauraque]

I'm a little shy about offering, since, you know... you write supergood. *g* But it's tough to squick me, and I've been told I'm a good beta, so consider my hat in the ring if you're interested. :)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so happy you're offering! I will likely hit you up for one of the next ones if that's okay!

[pauraque]

Yup, feel free. :D

I don't have much time for this month, but replying anyway in case you might need a beta in the future. I'd love to help out.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

THANK you! Okay, I might hit you up later in the month, then, if it works out.

[harvest-blue.livejournal.com]

I would love to beta. And there is no squick out there that will bother me. harbingers_sin@yahoo.com

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Awriiite! Thank you so--I'll either send you this one or one of the next ones; I've got one more potentially squicky thing coming.

[silverhielm.livejournal.com]

Hi amanuensis ^o^ I'm one of your fans O///O *blush*, I've read your fanfic/lj for months and so now that I have my own lj I added you among my friends! Is it ok for you? ._. I hope it is, I love to read you!
(I'm antou_san's sister, we are your biggest Italian fans ^o^)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

You sweetheart! Give antou_san a smooch for me--and here's one for you. *Smooch!* Thanks so much for introducing yourself!

[veroism.livejournal.com]

i'm up for betaing
vero@veroism.com

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! Thank you so much--I may hit you up later this month if that's okay!

[herbmcsidhe.livejournal.com]

I'm available pretty much anytime for beta work, and I rarely get squicked...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's great. Thank you so much! I shall likely hit you up later in the month.

[florahart]

Ptthhbt. I told you this before. Any old time.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Beware--I shall take you shamelessly for granted! ^_^

[goseaward.livejournal.com]

I can help out, as long as it's not over next weekend (I'm due to a friend's birthday in another town). Just email - goseaward at livejournal dot com.

*weeps that she needs to pay for more icon space so she can use her beta icon again, and gives you Bernadette Peters instead*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

That's Bernadette Peters? Can't tell behind that fan, but I can imagine it! And I shall hit you up for beta duty in the near future, then. Thank you SO much!

[tartanshell.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to beta for you in the future, if you'd like. I'm slow and kind of bitchy, but I'm told I do all right. ;)

(I'm not sure I'm in your league, fic-wise...in fact, I'm pretty certain I'm not...but just because I can't write the fics that make everyone go nuts doesn't mean I can't spot a misplaced comma or tell you that Character X seems off.)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Heh, I've been there--it doesn't take an artist to say, "Um, his arm looks off." Thank you so much--I'll come knocking if I have something that seems right for you!

[angiepen.livejournal.com]

You've had a lot of offers, but if you want to rotate or something [grin] I'll be glad to help. I'm a brutally thorough beta and pretty much squick-proof. Or at any rate, I've read a few things on the Usenet adult groups that have squicked me over the years, but no one in fanfic-fandom ever has. angiep at mminternet dot com.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

You're wonderful. Thank you so much! I'll get something to you later on, then, if that works for you.

[lyttlelucyfer.livejournal.com]

Im no expert or anything, but I am good at proof reading for canon errors, and I am great at the whole SPaG thing (spelling, punctuation and grammar) If I can be of any assistance, please drop me a line; lyttlelucyfer @ hotmail.com.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Thank you muchly! You're a dear. I'll put you on the list, ever so gratefully!

[fabularasa.livejournal.com]

It's just that I'm nervous about looking as though I've got Entitlement Syndrome.

There is not even a stick large enough with which to hit you.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm coverin' up my head!

(and if you don't get that Frantics ref, I forgive you.)

hey...

[jaimeykay.livejournal.com]

I know you've had more than enough offers, but if you ever need anyone, I'm pretty much squick free. Well, almost. But I'd love to help you.

blond_nikey12@yahoo.com

Re: hey...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, that's very very kind of you! I will put you on the list, definitely.

Ooh! Nifty nifty!

[caylinn1996.livejournal.com]

Hi there. I'd be happy to beta for you if you would like. You can send the story to my email address: caylinn1996@yahoo.com.

Hope I can help!
Caylinn

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

You're awesome! Thank you so much, and I will put you on the list pronto.
