Name or Penname: LogicalQuirk - you can call me Lauren.

Email: logical_quirk@hotmail.co.uk

Beta Experience: No fanfic as of yet, but I have read other stories and essays for people. I'm hoping somebody will give me the chance to do some online beta work.

Writing Experience: I'm not really much of a 30 chapter epic writer, but I play with poems and drabbles from time to time.

Ratings: I'm pretty open minded!

Ships: Again, open minded in terms of characters, het or slash, although my favourite stories all involve the wonderful Severus Snape, preferably with Hermione. I'd be willing to give any other ships a go though, as the most important thing is a good story.

Categories/Genres: I tend to read romance, humour and other such fluffy things. Occasionally I find myself in the mood for some angsty reading as well.

Strengths as beta reader: Very good at grammar, syntax and lexis. I'm from just outside London, so I'm a good brit-picker as well.

Weakness: I can be fairly harsh when I get going - some think that's a bad thing! Wink Also, it must be said that although I will try my very best to be speedy (within 48 hours) I can't give you a guarantee on that.

Dislikes: Please don't ask that I beta any Mpreg... it just freaks me out a little Shocked sorry!

Dear LogicalQuirk,

Hello! I noticed your message and thought I'd give you a reply. Coincidentially, while you're looking for an author, I'm looking for a beta. Smile

Name: Katie -- my penname's Dear Me

Email: whatisscience@yahoo.com

Story title: My Mid-Year Crisis

Summary: Hermione is tired of keeping Ginny's crush on their
Potions master a secret. But when the oh-so-frightening Snape starts to turn too soft for Ginny's taste, Hermione begins to wonder why he is acting so un-Snape like. One-shot.

Rating: B (PG-13)

Category/Genres: Humor/Romance

Ship: Hermione/Snape (SSHG)

Warnings: Slight student/teacher romance

At the least, I hope you can give me a reply, whether it be in this forum or in e-mail, it doesn't matter. Very Happy

Hope to be your first beta-fanfic experience,
Dear Me

Hi,
I'm looking for someone to Beta my first story. It's not SS (HP/GW actually) and it's about halfway done. Really I want help improving my writing, so you can as harsh as you want!

Title: Wonderful Day

Rating:L

Genres: PWP, Romance

It's over 1700 words and what I have is solid technically, but like I said I want to improve my writing. You said you read romance so maybe you can help me out.

My e-mail is hycl@streamproductions.net

Hello!

I've written a story that is 10 chapters (50,000+ words) focusing on Snape from the time he graduates from Hogwarts until the Halloween night that Voldemort kills the Potters. Basically, it investigates all the questions I had after finishing HBP Wink. There is no romance (sorry!), but plenty of torture and death (what can I say, all my main characters are Death Eaters!) Angst/Drama, Rating: B

Title: Metanoia - The Conversion of Severus Snape

I'd like to have a beta read over my story before I consider posting.
This is a busy time of year, of course, so I am really looking for someone after Christmas or in the new year. My e-mail is mithluin at hotmail.com

Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks.
