Beta anyone?

I know our lovely mods are working on a beta list, which is awesome! But I don't think it's quite ready yet so I'm just going to throw this out to the comm at large.

Anyone have time to beta a short (about 1500 words) Teen Wolf gen fic? It's a convo between Stiles and the Sheriff and I'm in need of general comma wrangling (I tend to use too many) and spell checking. Also, an honest critique on whether it works, please.

I am crap at the G/S check but I know my teen wolf if you want a look through on content.

Either way I love the Sheriff and Stiles father/son relationship, think both actors play it well, and would love to read your story when it's out.

A content check would be awesome! I tend to agonize over that more than anything.

I love the Stilinskis and I really hope we see more of them in the new season!

How would you like to do this?

Send it to my email emeraldawn@gmail.com I'll read it and have it back I'm the morning.

Awesome! Thanks again. It's very much appreciated.

Hiya - happy to check for excess commas if you still need that, or any general grammar/spelling issues.

BTW, check to the left in the comm's sidebar - there is now a link for the beta list! ;-)

That would be great. witchyemerald was kind enough to do a content check, but said g/s wasn't her strong suit, so a second pair of eyes would be great.

Also, I really hope that wasn't there when I posted this. *sheepish* Although that wouldn't matter. That's only negative to checking in through my tablet. I don't get the full site so I don't get sidebar stuff.

No worries! You can e-mail it to me at haldoor42 at yahoo.com.au

And don't worry! I didn't make it super-obvious, but you will know next time! And no question is a stupid question, so your post was perfectly okay all the same! ;-)

Sent!

Aww, thank you! That's one of the things I like best about this comm. Y'all are so nice. :)

Okay, off to work shortly so will get to it ASAP!

And aw shucks, thanks! But yeah, we try to stay encouraging - there's enough crap elsewhere in life! ;-)

Love the icon!!
