The lakorn-novel I'm writing has a ways to go before it's ready for beta readers, but I'd like to know what others make of the end of one of the scenes. The friend who's read it missed part of what I had hoped to convey.

Fandom: None - original fiction. Genre is Thai lakorn
Pairings: het (OC)
Rating/Warning: No CW. Teen and up
Length: 614 words
Notes: See post intro. Impressions re the ending are fine. Anything else if you feel like it.

It's this post here.

Hello! I need to get a few short lines of dialogue SPaG checked, it's only less than 30 words in all because they are featured in a story in a different language, basically. Most of the dialogues are meant in British English, the last bit is in AE. They're said by British and US soldiers, in WWII era. I'd be really grateful for any help!!

Looking for someone who could review/help tweak dialogue for Scouse-ness (or at least Brit-ness). Material totals about 20- 30 lines of dialogue in the final third of a 10K story.

Google doc with the pertinent (or should that be impertinent?) lines already highlighted. Prefer to have by 24 Oct, but there's some flex to that date.

Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug
Characters/Pairings: Adrien Agreste (& Gabriel Agreste)
Rating & Warnings: Teen, I think? and No Archive Warnings Apply, but see notes
Estimated Fic Length: fic, no clue; scene I'm worried about, 1.7K
Notes: the canon this fic is for is distinctly SFF (it's the spiritual grandkid of Sailor Moon and Wonder Woman), but that should not make any of the parts I'm worried about any different from how they'd be in a present-day-France no-speculative-elements story. (sans coronavirus.)

the scene's action is someone having a heart attack and a couple of people with CPR training and an AED working to save him; the PoV character is one of the latter, and nobody dies in this story. (probably.) I know American Heart Association changed a relevant mnemonic from ABC to CAB, and because of reasons I don't care, but if there's any other inaccuracies, I want to know.

[mods: the tag this needs is a 'type:' one, because I am sure of a few of those that this story is not, but not which one it is. and also I'm not looking for a beta for the whole fic, just the first-or-only scene that needs a bunch of research. (my outline keeps changing on me, so I don't know if I'm going to have any scenes that will need a beta to check medical/procedural accuracy for the subsequent hospital stay.)]

Fandom: Tintin
Characters/Pairings: Captain Haddock/Piotr Szut
Rating & Warnings: NC17/None
Length: For the part I need help for: Four, maybe five short sentences
Notes: I know it's probably a bit of a longshot, but I need help from someone who knows Estonian for a couple of phrases. It is not at all necessary to be familiar with The Adventures of Tintin to be able to help. :)

Current Mood: hopeful

Fandom: X-Men/Legion
Characters/Pairings: Amahl Farouk
Rating & Warnings: Varied
Estimated Fic Length: Varied
Notes: No familiarity with the fandom needed. One character on Legion has a habit of swapping into Farsi periodically; I've been trying to muddle through with Google Translate, but that requires me to transliterate by hand, which is, uhhhh, rough given that I don't speak Farsi. I was hoping to find someone who would tell me if any of this is legible.

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

betaplease and happy new year! Please remember to tag your posts!
