Ellie ~ Available

[iMusic17]

I am very much AVAILABLE.

Strengths: Plot, characterization, Next Gen., and punctuation/grammar. Also am pretty good with verb tenses.

Weaknesses: Brit-picking. (American) I know some of the slang, and know when something sounds American, but I'm nowhere near British.

What I Won't Do: I don't have many problems. I will do slash, D/A, some limited incest, stuff like that. I am tentative about 'Professors' and 'Student/Teacher', though. As long as it isn't too bad; violence I can deal with, but if it's Professor in other ways . . . as I said, I'm tentative.

Other Info: I tend to leave a lot of comments. I'll be honest with you, and even if I leave a lot of comments, odds are I still love your fic to pieces. Trust me. Also, I admit I have a problem with sugarcoating things. So to sum this up: I may sound harsh. But I'm not trying to be. Also, even though I'm mainly a D/A or Next Gen. writer, I love all the genres. Everything from the Founders to Next Gen. I'm good with. And I'm open with ships. Anything from Loulily to Helga/Salazar.

Yay, you finally have a thread! And just in time as well, I was about to post a request.

Name (user/preferred): Abi
Story: As Seasons Change
Genre: Marauder
Ships: OC/OC, tiny bit of James/Lily in later chapters
Rating and Warnings: Either 3rd-5th or 6th-7th; Character death, mild profanity
One Shot, Drabble or Chaptered: Chaptered
What I REALLY want help with: You know what I'm like with comma's and verb tenses, I'm hopeless!
Summary: I don't have an official one yet, I may also need a bit of help writing that. It's basically set in the Marauder era and it's about a Beauxbatons student who lives in Britain. It follows her through her final year at Beauxbatons and showing how the clichés about Beauxbatons aren't all true.
PM or email: Email
Color Changes or Track Changes: Track Changes

I only have the first couple of paragraphs written at the moment so it wouldn't get to you immediately but it shouldn't be too long. =D

Why, Abi, how could I refuse? You're such an amazing beta I could never refuse you. Email it to me when you're ready. I am very excited to read it.

AVAILABLE.

[Northumbrian]

Hi Ellie

Name (user/preferred): Northumbrian/Neil
Story: Browns
Genre: Romance/Other Pairing
Ships: Lavender Brown/OC
Rating and Warnings: 3rd-5th years (probably) - Sexual situations, but merely the mention of the possibility.
One Shot, Drabble or Chaptered: One Shot
What I REALLY want help with: This may sound a little strange, but:
All of my stories take place at various points along the same future timeline. However, I try to make certain that they work as stand alone stories. This particular story is a Lavender/Mark one shot and I'm concerned that, as written, it requires a certain amount of knowledge of what has gone before. I want to avoid that, so I'm looking for a beta-reader who hasn't read any of my Lavender Brown stories. I'm hoping that you fit the bill, and that you will be able to ask the what? and why? questions a beta reader who knows my other Mark and Lavender might miss. Interested?
Summary: Lavender takes her boyfriend home - to meet her parents.
PM or email: email (pm me and I'll let you know where to find me).
Colour Changes or Track Changes: track changes.

Neil

About to PM you .... and I haven't read your Lavender work, so I guess that's what you're looking for.


AVAILABLE.

[silverlining95]

Hi Ellie,

Name (user/preferred): silverlining95/Fenella
Story: Suitcase
Genre: General
Ships: None
Rating and Warnings: 3rd - 5th Years most likely
One Shot, Drabble or Chaptered: One shot
What I REALLY want help with: Ensuring the characterisation and plot are up to the mark!
Summary: Follows two mothers twenty years apart as they cope with their sons leaving home; Molly Weasley and Walburga Black. In part an attempt to humanise Walburga, and inspired by the Emeli Sande song 'Suitcase'. Very little, if any, dialogue.
PM or email: I'd prefer email, if you're up for this I'll PM you my contact email
Color Changes or Track Changes: Track changes is fine

I'm not finished yet, I'm only on about 400 words, but I should have it done within the next fortnight (in between exams!). I'd love it if you'd beta this for me, it's only my second ever fic, so I'd love some assistance!

If you don't quite get the concept or want more explaining PM me and I'm happy to go into my thought process in more depth!

Thank you,

Fenella x

[BrokenPromise]

Hi Ellie,

Could you do this for me? I would really appreciate your thoughts.

Name (user/preferred): BrokenPromise
Story: 10 types of love
Genre: not sure, either Romance or general (Poetry?)
Ships: multiple
Rating and Warnings: probably 1-2, none
One Shot, Drabble or Chaptered: one-shot
What I REALLY want help with: well, I could really just do with a second pair of eyes and a bit of help on the category stuff. Also one or two of the pairings I think are a bit off.
Summary: Basically it’s 10 minisagas (50 words with distinct beginning middle and end) about different people who love. There are pairings but there are also individuals.
PM or email: either is fine
Color Changes or Track Changes: again, either is fine

BrokenPromise

[iMusic17]

both Fenella and Broken Promise ... I'd be happy to do it. Just send me a contact and I'll email you. Just a warning, I'm going on a class trip next week, so if I don't have it back to you by the end of the weekend, it'll be a bit.

AVAILABLE.

[Maple_and_PheonixFeather]

Dearest Ellie,

Rating and Warnings: Probably 3rd-5th year. Probably no warnings, unless they want a Student/Teacher warning on it...but there is no relationship
One Shot, Drabble or Chaptered: Chaptered
What I REALLY want help with: Just a bit of everthing really
Summary: Currently don't have one, but it will be something about learning about your feelings and dealing with liking your best friend's dad and stuff.
PM or email:email
Color Changes or Track Changes: Track changes

Okay, that's it! I know it's a weird concept, but...

Maple

[iMusic17]

Of course, Maple. And who am I to judge; my stories are REALLY weird?

I'll PM you my email, though I won't be able to have it back to you until after my trip. Is that okay?

AVAILABLE. (though preferably one-shots)
