    This is the Beta Reader Index, shadesaw.

    You can PM/e-mail any of the people who have submitted their information here if you want them to offer you one on one criticism/grammatical help, but no, you can't post your fic here.

    I have written a a story called "The Journey."

    Summary: A group of people that live as workers for Empire will have their lives changed with the arrival of some new prisoners.

    If any beta reader sees this please where is the beta list.

    To whomever runs this thread: It would probably be a great help if you kept an main index list of all the beta readers on the first post. That way the authors don't have to search through the pages.

    I agree with Emilie. As it is, it's difficult to tell who is an active beta reader and who is not. I think a list on the first page would be helpful to us all. :)

    I would love a beta reader to help me with a story called Sparks. which mostly features children during the occupation of Naboo. I could really use help on how to do good kid philosophy, without overdoing it or making them too mature or something. PM me if you're interested.

    Edit- looks like the position is filled... thanks guys!

    I agree with everone else. The beta readers that I have PM have said that other things in their life. It is very hard to tell who able to help.

    Thanks so much, Sobi fan! I've been really busy lately...when school's over I'll be able to help everyone out, and yes, that's a good suggestion, everyone. But, as you do, I'm really swamped with stuff lately. I'll be sure to "upgrade" in a month or so. In the mean time, here's another beta (Sobi, you can just leave your's there. :)).

    Hi, I'm looking for a beta reader for my story called 'Point of no return' It's post YJK and AU. This is the plotline:

    Jaina becomes a murder suspect. Only she didn?t know the person she supposedly murdered, or did she? When things are looking grim, help arrives from an unsuspected corner. Jaina departs on a quest that will change everything and there?s no turning back.


    I'm looking for someone who's strong points are grammar and spelling.

    Who is willing to help me out?

    Hello, everyone.

    I'm in need of a Beta Reader for something I'm currently translating from german into english . After that it done, I will publish it here.

    It's a short story - originally being part of a longer story - around a Twi'lek Duel.

    If possible, knowledge of the german language would be handy, but is not mandatory. It just would make things easier ;) when I'm trying to explain why I had written things the way I did. ;)

    If possible, please send me an PM, or an E-Mail.

    Alrik.

    There is a universal translator that I sometimes I use. It is not 100% perfect, but helps with some words.
    There is the link
