UserName: Liz Lovegood

Genre: alternate universe
Ships: Lily/severus (not mentioned in the prolouge)
Rating and Warnings: character death
Word Count: the prolouge is 525
One Shot or Chaptered: chaptered
Expected Beta Time: however long it takes! the sooner the better though
Permanent Y/N: not sure yet, probably not
What specifics do you want me to keep my eye out for? What do you think needs the most attention? I entered it and it says i need to re format... i've tried a couple times and just can't get it. plus grammer.

[Ginny_x_Weasley]

User Name: hermioneknowsbest (MNFF) Ginny_x_Weasley (Beta Boards). My real name is Megan, but on here i'd like to go by the name of Ginny.

Story: Nothing is Ever Easy.

Category: It's a romance.

Ships: It's got Ron and Hermione already a couple. But it mainly focuses on Harry and Ginny getting together.
Rating and Warnings:Not sure yet. I've only written the first chapter so far, and i don't think that's anything to go by. I'd really like another persons opinion. I just know that there are certain aspects from various other books that i have skipped. Like: Fred didn't die in the final battle, and Harry and Ginny's previous relationship never happened.

Word Count: so far it's about 3860...

One Shot or Chaptered: Chaptered

Expected Beta Time: Anything as long as it's not forever. Anything around a week if fine.

What do you need to most help with?: Grammar for sure, simple punctuation, spelling can also be a problem occasionally...

Permanent Y/N: Yes please

Summary: Ron and Hermione have been a couple for years, but are reluctant to get married. Ginny's relationship with her boyfriend is rappidly failing. And Harry blindly refuses to even think about being in a relationship, because he wants to focus on his job. But is that really all there is to it?

It's basically written a few years after Ginny has left Hogwarts. Harry and Ginny are both pro. Quidditch stars, playing for Puddlemere United. They are flat sharing, because Harry wanted the company, and Ginny wanted somewhere to live other than the Burrow, and Ron doesn't like it. It's Christmas time, and all of the Weasley's and their extended family, are practically living in the Burrow. When Ginny's boyfriend ends it with her, she's distraught, but this brings her and Harry even closer. Both of them slowly begin to relise that their relationship goes much further than just friendship.

This is my first attempt at a fanfiction, so i'm new to the whole concept. I'm still finding my feet and any help would be very much appreciated. This story has been rejected multiple times because of my punctuation, and other things that go along the lines of: wrong category submission and layout issues.

Sorry about the late replies.

Ginny, I can take this on if you still need me.

Kat - I don't think I'll be the best beta for you simply because I really have no experience with OCs.

As of right now, I'm going to say I'm available for one-shots and drabbles, as I have a bunch of chaptered fics on the go.

[Maple_and_PheonixFeather]

Hey, I can do this for sure!

AVAILABLE for drabbles and one-shots.

[Iruthb]

User Name: Iruthb
Story: Unnamed (A drabble)
Category: General
Ships: N/A
Rating and Warnings: 1st-2nd years,
Word Count: 634
One Shot or Chaptered: Drabble
Expected Beta Time: By the end of the week, at the latest, please
What do you need to most help with? A second pair of eyes for small mistakes and maybe adding some variety to the vocab
Permanent Y/N: If it was possible for you to beta all my drabbles for the MWPP class, that would be great. If not, that's fine
)
Summary: A drabble for the MWPP class. We have to write a cliche (I know, sorry) drabble around the Marauders era.
It will be full moon the next evening, and Remus is feeling the heat. James still pines after Lily and Sirius is after the girls.

Hi Maple! Wondering if you could beta a one-shot for me? I kind of already have a beta for it, but we're having trouble communicating and either way, it's good to have two as well.

User Name: Ascendio
Story: Yet to be titled.
Category: Dark/Angst
Ships: None
Rating and Warnings: I'm thinking 3rd-5th years, Mild Profanity, Character Death
Word Count: 1557, but I'm forever going back and adding/removing things, so subject to change.
One Shot or Chaptered: One Shot
Expected Beta Time: Within a week, hopefully. But if something comes up that's fine. There's no specific date I need it by.
What do you need to most help with? It's in second person, and I want to make sure everything sounds okay with it, as I'm not usually a big user of it.
Summary:

You can't believe the destruction, the wretchedness that people can create. You can't believe the ugliness of the universe, the unfairness of the world, and you wonder why it seems as though you carry it on your shoulders.

Sirius returning to Number 12 Grimmauld Place, through Remus's POV.

[Maple_and_PheonixFeather]

Sure, send it over. I have to finish betaing for someone, but I have a good chunk of time off tomorrow, so I should have both of hte stories back tomorrow!

AVAILABLE

Hi Maple

My usual betas are currently busy and I’m looking for a fairly fast turnaround for:

User Name: Northumbrian
Story: Owl Post
Genre: This is a second-person pov one-shot from the point of view of a post owl. General, or H/G I suppose
Ships: Harry/Ginny, plus the kids – completely canon compliant.
Rating and Warnings: 1st/2nd years - None.
Word Count: 2128, though that may change (probably upward)
One Shot or Chaptered: One-shot
Expected Beta Time: I'd like it back by the weekend if possible. Early next week if not.
Permanent Y/N: Probably not, but you never know
Summary: It's a bit of fluff about the owl who delivers the Hogwarts letter to James.[/QUOTE]

I put this on the beta wanted page yesterday, but so far there have been no takers.

This is a bit of an experiment. I’m aware that writing from a second person present tense perspective is more than a little odd, but hey, the lead character is an owl!

My usual issues are fairly minor, Soraya pulls me up for comma placement and Alex complains that I overuse exclamation marks. They’re both right! < oops, sorry Alex.

Hey Neil,

Yeah, send it over, I actually find it a little intriguing. I'll PM you my email. If you don't get it back today, it should be to you by Friday.

AVAILABLE!

Hey Maple!

Category: Romance (eek!)
Ships: James/Lily
Rating and Warnings: I don't think any, maybe Mild Profanity?
Word Count: 2495
One Shot or Chaptered: One-Shot
Expected Beta Time: A week or two is fine, don't need it by any specific time.
What do you need to most help with? Well, it's very very. . . fluffy. I wrote it while in a frivolous mood, and completely would not mind if you told me it was a cliched fluffy piece of nothing, so I guess just making sure it's not a ridiculous non-realistic romance thing.

Summary: Basically, it's just some time between Lily and James at the Lake during their seventh year.
