Fandom: Gorillaz
Characters/Pairings: Murdoc Niccals & Russel Hobbs
Rating & Warnings: Mature/Non-con elements
Estimated Fic Length: ~3,000
Beta Needs: character consistency, general flow, if its any good lol, what warnings i should put on it, that sort of thing
Notes: dark, angsty hurt/comfort fic, nothing explicit but bad stuff is referenced, also bad words of varying degrees are said. Also shitty characters (read: murdoc) remain shitty throughout lol
 
Its not for anything, but I'd like to post it soon, within the next few days actually, and if i cant find a beta i might just do that. I understand if that's a tall order though, its a very specific fic and 'rillaz isnt exactly a real active fandom, so i understand if people arent clamouring for this opportunity lmfao
 
One rule i ask is that no one is told i wrote this fic. It will be posted anonymously only. Also if we get on, I'd like it if maybe you could consider continuing to be my beta for other anoymous gorillaz works, many gritty like this one. If we do that arrangement, i could do something for you in turn, maybe beta your fics if you'd like.

Fandom: Electric Light Orchestra RPF
Characters/Pairings: Jeff Lynne/Roy Wood/Hugh McDowell; references original characters who don't appear in the actual fic
Rating & Warnings: FRM/contains angst, safe consensual kink (whipping, chain restraints), no sex
Notes: This is being written for [community profile] polybigbang, and I'm looking for someone to help me with plot, structure, and consistency, since I basically pulled this idea out of my arse some time last month for wont of a better idea.

It basically takes place in a basement, over the course of a few hours. I'm writing a D/D/s polykink relationship. Much of the story is about them finding their feet together, and trying to make it work, amidst all the mundane complications of life.

It's a sequel to another fic of mine, but I want it to stand alone as much as possible. My draft is currently sitting at 10.5k, and could possibly do with a better ending.

I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me out with this. I don't need you to know the fandom, just be willing to beta obscure RPF, and help get the plot into shape.

Fandom: The Move RPF AU
Characters/Pairings: It's a long plotty fic focussing on FtM!Ace Kefford and FtM!Bev Bevan, and their experiences growing up trans*, and finding their place in the world.
Rating & Warnings: Mature/Explicit; warnings include consensual underage sexual situations, childhood trauma and abuse, mental illness (depression, suicidal thoughts, paranoia, psychosis?), self-harming/self-injury, and body dysphoria. There may be others I haven't picked up along the way, but that's a good overview.
Notes: This is a rewrite of an old [community profile] queer_fest fic, The Girl Outside, without the ridiculous class differences and with better character development. It's been much better edited, and I've completely rewritten at least half of it from scratch.

I'm still working on finishing up the ending, but I'd still like to start getting the first chapters worked on, since I have a month to get this finished. At this stage, I'd mostly just appreciate having someone to look over it to let me know if it all makes sense plot-wise, whether the character development is consistent and plausible, and whether anything needs to be added or cut.

Canon/fandom knowledge isn't necessary, since it's an AU, and obscure fandoms are obscure and hard to find betas for.

If you'd like to help me out, or know someone who might, comment here, PM me, or shoot me an email at ibdjehuty AT gmail.com.

Hello! I've caught up on tags again to prepare for the new year.

Another reminder that I won't add a tag for a specific fandom until at least two different people post about that fandom on the comm. If you don't see your fandom in the tag list, you're proably looking for a catch-all tag:
  • fandom: animanga series
  • fandom: books (other)
  • fandom: movies (other)
  • fandom: none/original fiction
  • fandom: nonfiction
  • fandom: tv shows (other)
  • fandom: video games (other)
  • fandom: webcomics (other)
  • fandom: web series (other)
  • fandom: western animation (other)
  • fandom: western comics (other)
I regularly go through the catch-all tags to see if there are any doubles that need to be moved to a tag of their own. If you want to get your own fandom tag faster, encourage your friends to use this comm too! :D

I've also added the new tag "fandom: star trek (reboot)", to try and differentiate the newer movies from the older tv series and movies. We've not yet had more than one person asking for betas in each individual star trek series, which is why they're still using the catch-all "fandom: star trek series."

If there's anything else I can do to make the comm's tag system easier to use, please let me know. Thank you for using [community profile] betaplease and happy new year! Please remember to tag your posts!

Fandoms: The Move RPS/Brum (1992)
Cast: Brum, werewolf!Carl Wayne, seer!Roy Wood, werewolf!FtM!Bev Bevan, werewolf!Ace Kefford, Trevor Burton
Pairings: Roy Wood/Trevor Burton, Carl Wayne/Bev Bevan, Bev Bevan/Ace Kefford
Length: 44.6k / 7 chapters + prologue/epilogue
Rating and Warnings: FRM/Mature/M15+; warnings for grumpy old men dealing (or not dealing) with post-apocalyptic trauma and one non-explicit sex scene that could be read as dubcon. Lots (and lots) of walking. May destroy your childhood.

Notes: This is a complete first draft, written for [community profile] apocalypsebang/[livejournal.com profile] apocalypsebang. It deals with post-apocalypse (zombies) survival and trauma, and follows on from Brum and the Apocalypse, which I wrote for [livejournal.com profile] apocabigbang last year. You don't have to have read the previous fic, though there are a few brief references to it in this current fic. Setting is AU!UK, covers late 2007-early 2008(ish).

I would appreciate a technical beta giving this a once-over to check story structure, plausibility, and coherency, just in case there's anything glaringly wrong with it. I think it's okay, but I could always do with another set of eyes just to make sure. It also needs to be stand-alone, so I'd really like to know if there's anything that I haven't fully explained. Obscure fandoms are obscure so I'm not expecting canon knowledge.

I also really need a Britpicker because I'm Australian and I'm not entirely confident I've picked out every mistake or got my geography correct. Familiarity with pub billiards a bonus, because I know I've messed up that scene. Also, I've just realised that my Australian brain forgot that Roy and Trevor spend half the fic walking across the southern part of England through the winter (*facepalm*) and obviously that will need to be fixed because I'm pretty sure I got all the weather wrong and they might be better off finding somewhere to camp for a while instead of pushing on. Any help with that would be appreciated.

Deadlines: Final draft is due on Jan 26th, 2013; I'd really like to get the fic beta'd before January if at all possible, though this is negotiable, given the time of year.
