Fandom: Original Work

Genre: Romance

Characters/Pairings: Het, Conquering Male Warlord/Princess of Conquered Kingdom

Summary: Hilbert of Rasfura is a warlord who invades Fleuyan, partly on the request of its subjects, partly for his own reasons, and he forces the Princess Solange to marry him. Hilbert has a reputation for being a fierce and ruthless tyrant, but Solange discovers in him more of a gentleman like the knights in fairy tales. Despite the rocky start to their relationship, they share the same desire to protect their now united subjects, which is hopefully enough for them to overcome their differences and fall in love. The story focuses on developing their relationship.

Rating & Warnings: Teen, mild descriptions of injuries

Length: 41k

Beta Type: If possible I would love for you to read the story over and give me any thoughts afterwards like a review-type thing. While I would definitely appreciate you pointing out errors, places where the prose could flow better, etc. I'm mostly hoping for a sort of reader's perspective type of beta that helps me figure out what's working and what's not. (Hopefully this also means it doesn't take too long for your own sake!)

Notes: This fic is for a fandom event that's due in October. I do have a fan-artist that's waiting to see the fic but I can get it in a semi-acceptable shape by myself if a more immediate deadline is inconvenient for you. Also feel free to check out examples of my stuff here for an idea of whether or not you'd be interested in my style!
sunfright: Logan Marshall-Green with the text  "fuck". (bearing)
[personal profile] sunfright
Fandom: Original Work
Characters/Pairings: Het, Original Female Character/Original Male Character
Rating & Warnings: Teen+ (I think, sexual content is implied, but never explicit); one of the main plotlines features a dysfunctional (grown-up) daughter-father relationship and emotional neglect is shown as part of that plot. The other main plotline is the romantic plotline between a political speechwriter (female character) and her politician boss (male character).
Estimated Fic Length: ~10100 words
Notes: I'm ESL and will no doubt need some help with English-fying some parts of my writing. Besides punctuation, typos/spelling and word choice, I would like some feedback on the story from a reader's perspective. Especially commentary on the flow of dialogue is of interest to me. I am going to post the story to AO3 once done and will credit my beta, if wanted.

sunfright: Logan Marshall-Green with the text  "fuck". (aesthetic)
[personal profile] sunfright
Fandom: Original Fiction
Characters/Pairings: Original Male Character/Original Male Character
Rating & Warnings: I'm super bad at ratings, but teen+, I think? Implied sexual content, nothing explicit, except some language. There are themes of slavery (Ancient Rome-style, though this is a fantasy story), age gap relationship (one party is 18, the other in his early 40s) and power imbalance. The main character is manipulative and domineering.
Estimated Fic Length: ~3.500
Notes: I'm ESL and my language might betray that, though some awkward phrasings are also stylistic. This is a fic for the [community profile] unconventionalcourtship challenge where I have a due date the 6th of June, which means I'd like the fic back by the 5th of June. I know this is super short notice, but I didn't know this place existed and have been looking desperately among friends first.
moguexpresso: A drawing of my favorite character, Ataru Moroboshi! (Default)
[personal profile] moguexpresso
EDIT: Beta found!

Fandom: Urusei Yatsura
Characters/Pairings: Eventually Ataru/Original Male Character
Rating & Warnings: Rated T. This fanfiction has a few occurrences of suicidal thoughts, period typical homophobia (This fanfiction takes place in the late 80s-90s).
Estimated Fic Length: Planning on having 2k or more
Notes: This fanfiction is about Ataru Moroboshi and his daughter (original character) Tomomi. It shows the ups and downs in his life, the struggles of being a single father in Japan, and his backstory. You don't need to read or watch Urusei Yatsura get the story, I just need someone to beta read (report on grammar mistakes, make sure describing things isn't awkward or out of place, etc.).

Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters/Pairings: Next Gen, gen apart from background canon pairings
Rating & Warnings: None, PG
Estimated Fic Length: 7k
Notes: This is for a exchange so the deadline is the 15th and it just needs a SPAG/flow check. If anyone could help me out, it would be really appreciated! Please leave a comment or send me a message if you can do it.


Found! Thank you.

[personal profile] osidiano
Fandom: Video game, Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban

Characters/Pairings: Dick Gumshoe/Franziska von Karma

Rating & Warnings: E/NC-17. The final chapter is a consensual sex scene, with Gumshoe taking the leading, more active role. Takes place during an unspecified time in the second game (Justice For All) while Franziska is Gumshoe's boss, so there's some abuse of authority/power dynamics at play, as well as their canon age difference. If you me know your specific or potential triggers/squicks, I can double-check.

Estimated Fic Length: Maybe 5k? I'm 2k into the chapter right now, but haven't actually gotten to the sex part, so. Overall, I don't anticipate the total fic length being even 10k in total.

Notes: The first ~4k is already posted up on AO3, and I've gotten myself into a bit of a jam. I could really use someone to talk to about how the final scene should unfold, and then just some general hand-holding and cheerleading so I can finally mark this project complete. Also, because of how long it's been a WIP, I need a second set of eyes to make sure it's all written in the same voice/style so that you can't tell which scenes were written this year and which have been sitting in a drawer since 2019.

I don't think you need that much canon knowledge because it's a PWP and not casefic, but a solid handle on the characters to check for IC is required. Because I am struggling with writing resolutions that don't suck, you will need to be familiar with what has already happened in the fic and how things progressed to this point to see if that's paying off (though you won't need to beta previously posted chapters).

I really want to finish this fic, but I don't think I can without help. Thanks.

EDIT: Beta found!

Fandom: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Characters/Pairings: Bruno Buccellati/Leone Abbacchio
Rating & Warnings: Teen and up audiences, no warnings
Estimated Fic Length: ~4,000 words when completed
Notes: Set post-canon/post-Vento Aureo, the two are reunited in the afterlife and Bruno decides to finally make a move. The only problem is that Abbacchio's ex-partner keeps getting in the way.

Aside from the usual spelling and grammar checks, I'm also hoping for feedback on characterization and story flow, if anything needs to be fleshed out more, etc. This is my first time writing Bruabba so I'm not sure if I've got their voices quite right.

Fandom: Monkey Island
Characters/Pairings: Guybrush Threepwood, Elaine Marley, Hugo (MI4), Yangja (MI4), Mungle (MI4), Miss Rivers (MI4), two OCs, cameo from the Barbery Coast pirates (MI3). Mostly gen, with a little canonish Guybrush/Elaine fluff.
Rating & Warnings: Pretty low rating, maybe PG; peril, some references to violence, one character being a creep, and like two mildly sexually suggestive lines.
Estimated Fic Length: 20,750 (already completed)
Notes: Familiarity with the source a plus, but not 100% required since my strongest concerns are not to do with canonicity nor characterization (although a second opinion on those would be good if I can get it). No SPAG check needed. I need to know: is the story actually entertaining or just long and dull; is there enough humor, and is the humor actually funny; did I avoid obviously running on adventure game "plot time" (plot events are not triggered until the player figures out the correct action); is the main threat OK; some style things about revealing mental state of non-POV characters; is one OC's mode of speech okay or did I merely succeed at othering them or possibly even coming off racist; is the ending okay or is it a lame ripoff even by Monkey Island standards.
sheenianni: (Default)
[personal profile] sheenianni
Fandom: White Collar (TV)
Characters/Pairings: Neal Caffrey, Peter Burke, Mozzie, Curtis Hagen, FBI team, other canon characters
Rating & Warnings: I’d say PG-13 but it might be skirting on R depending on your definition. Apart from some canon-typical violence, there’s (mostly) off-screen major injury, non-sexual assault* and several people in not-very-healthy places mentally (depression, anxiety, possibly PTSD).
*The assault is not sexual, but there’s definitely some troubling power implications (think Imperius curse from Harry Potter).
Estimated Fic Length: Currently at 53k words; expected final length at about 65k.
Notes: This is a Season 5 AU with supernatural elements. I need a new set of eyes; I’m mostly concerned with plot, story arch, pacing etc., and also with characterization. I could also use a sensitivity reader because of the assault plotline. Grammar and such would be nice (I’m not a native speaker) but they’re not a priority.
juniperberry: (nightmare stag)
[personal profile] juniperberry
Fandom: Hannibal/Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

Characters/Pairings: It's kind of an ensemble, but Syaoran is going to be a central character, as is Hannibal. Fai/Kurogane background and Hannibal/Will to the extent of canon.

Rating & Warnings: I'm putting it at Mature for now, just because it's Hannibal and chapter one opens with some gore. There's also going to be some psychological manipulation. It's Hannibal, y'all.

Estimated Fic Length: I'm really bad at this, I have no idea how long it's going to be. I'm around five thousand words in and I'm only beginning to approach the end of chapter two.

Notes: While I would dearly love a beta who could help me with both sets of characters, I'm mostly looking for a beta for the Hannibal side of things--Hannibal is a squirrelly character to write, and I just want to get some feedback on him.

General betaing--looking for duplicate descriptions, catching inconsistencies, that sort of thing--is also something I'd be asking for.
highlander_ii: Tony giving peace sign w/ text *peace* ([MCU] 001)
[personal profile] highlander_ii
Fandom: MCU
Characters/Pairings: Tony Stark/Peter Parker, Quentin Beck, MJ, Ned, Aunt May
Ratings & Warnings: Adult/Explicit; attempted rape (one v brief scene involving Beck and Peter that doesn't get very far); sex work; minor drug use; Peter and MJ are 19, so no underage incidents
Estimated Fic Length: 30k words once it's finished
Notes: This is my Marvel Big Bang fic - it's finished except for the very end that i'm still working on. Looking for story/continuity edits. Semi-quick turn-around needed in order to make edits in time to post on 17 December.

The story is an AU where MJ and Peter moved out to California after high school graduation, but life sort of kicked them in the teeth and they had to change their plans. Happy to provide additional details if needed.

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist/Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Characters/Pairings: Ed/Ling/Greed
Rating & Warnings: Teen and Up (mostly for language)
Estimated Fic Length: ~6500 words over 3 chapters
Notes: I've got a little "oh my god, there was only one bed!" fic that takes place during the timeskip in FMA, and I'm looking for help identifying any pacing issues, confusing prose, and awkward paragraph transitions. Currently only the first 2 chapters (~4500 words) are ready for beta. No pressure to stick around while I finish editing the 3rd chapter, but hey, if you'd like to beta that one when it's ready, that'd be cool!

Fandom: Fire Emblem: Awakening

Characters/Pairings: Chrom/F!Robin

Ratings/Warnings: E, there is consensual spanking, experimenting with roleplay, fingering and PIV.

Notes: Mostly looking for a beta to help me fine-tune my SPAG and flow and give me notes on if it's hot or not, but if you are familiar with the fandom and can give character notes it would be welcome as well. ~1.4k words

I use googledocs to write and I mostly use Discord to communicate, although I'm open to email too.
havocthecat: kate heigthmeyer and teyla emmagan are talking (sga kate & teyla)
[personal profile] havocthecat
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Teyla Emmagan/Kate Heightmeyer
Rating & Warnings: Doppelganger fix, so canon-typical violence (a lot, that is), descriptions of phobias, pining (so much pining), followed by hopping in bed to express feelings, and yes, absolute lack of consideration for modern ethical norms of psychology when it comes to dating patients, because that's how Atlantis rolls (shhh).
Estimated Fic Length: ~2600
Notes: Doppelganger is the episode where SGA decided to shove Kate Heightmeyer in a fridge and I decided to pull her out of it again. Mostly we have Kate and Teyla as the two main characters, but a few of the other SGA characters do guest star. Definitely need a SPAG beta, but I would love to get a character, plot, and pacing beta if at all possible.

Characters/Pairings: éomer/legolas

Rating & Warnings
: PG13, gen / fluff

Estimated Fic Length: around 500 words

Notes: there's like no dialogue in this fic (XD), it's mostly descriptive or legolas talking to himself as éomer appears only at the end and doesn't do much actually. My first language is not English, so anyone who can spot my grammar mistakes or sentences that don't make sense is welcome ^^

thanks in advance to anyone offering!

[personal profile] annathecrow

Fandom: Star Wars Prequels Trilogy, specifically Episode I and II
Characters: Shmi Skywalker, original characters, Anakin Skywalker, Cliegg Lars, Owen Lars, Beru Lars
Rating & Warnings: Teen; warning for abduction, descriptions of physical distress, description of a panic attack
Estimated Fic Length: 49k

Notes:

The fic is a fix-it AU of Episode II that diverges after Shmi Skywalker is abducted by the Tuskens, with Shmi as the protagonist.

I’m primarily looking for a “structural edit” type of beta - story arc, plot holes, characterization, pacing, that kind of stuff. The story is almost all written up and even partially line-edited, but I’m willing to take an axe to it if need be.

There is quite a lot of original world-building, if that would be an issue. It would be great if you knew the canon, as I’m making characterization decisions and I’d love some opinion on that, but it isn’t necessary.

 Fandom: Original

Characters/Pairings: No pairing, characters are a grumpy lighthouse manager and his shiny new assistant from the mainland. Also, a few ghosts.

Rating & Warnings: this is lite horror, becomes significantly more horror-y as the story goes on. There are dead bodies, &etc.

Estimated Fic Length: complete at roughly 5k.

Notes: This story is technically complete, but I am always looking for ways to improve it. I hope for the story to eventually go on submission, and I want to make it as good as I possibly can! I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer, even if it's just "this part doesn't work for me" etc. I prefer to work using googledocs but email is perfectly fine too! TIA.

Fandom: Buddha Cafe (Japanese webcomic)

Characters/Pairings: Tetsu / trans Ren (male to female)

Rating & Warnings: mostly G for now

Estimated Fic Length: around 4000-5000 words

Notes: Buddha Cafe is a Japanese webcomic about a cafe run by Buddhist monks. It's generally lighthearted with frequent educational tidbits about different Buddhist concepts. For this particular fic, no knowledge of the comic or of Buddhism is required; I've tried to explain salient details as succinctly as possible in the narrative. I'm more in need of a sensitivity reader for the trans character.

This was originally planned as a fluffy wish-fulfillment thing, though it's become somewhat angsty; I need an extra set of eyes to check if the emotional core of the story makes sense. I'm about halfway done with the second draft (past the 2000-word mark).

Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)

Characters/Pairings: Mycroft/Greg Lestrade

Rating & Warnings: Mature

Estimated Fic Length: Between 1,000 and 5,000 words

Notes: I really need feedback on whether the flow of the relationship across the story works. I'm concerned there's a disconnect between the darker elements of the story and how it is resolved. I also really need some feedback on the sole sex scene, as erotica is not my strong point.
