Hi noblefate,

Are you interested in beta-reading the following story?

Username: (beta forums and MNFF archives) CanisMajor, on both.
Story title: Out Of Reach.
Genre: General.
Ships: None.
Rating and Warnings: 1st-2nd, no warnings.
One-shot or Chaptered: Chaptered, with about 5 chapters.
Word Count: About 14000 in total.
Permanent Beta Y/N: Y (for all of this story).
Summary: Although they're a witch and a wizard, Phoenix's Mum and Dad aren't sending him to Hogwarts. They have other plans, and they know their rights much better than Vernon Dursley ever did. It all makes perfect sense to them -- but not to their unhappy eleven-year-old son. The magical education authorities might have an
opinion, too, if anyone were asking them. Or is it just that no-one is listening?
Anything you want me to pay close attention to?: Plot, character (this is a story with mostly original characters). There is a relevant discussion thread on the beta boards at The Hospital Wing/Madam Pomfrey's Character Clinic/Original Characters/Phoenix McFadden.

[Nagini Riddle]

Hello! I am kind of new to trying to get a beta, so I hope this works.

Username: Nagini Riddle
Story title: Not According to Plan
Genre: Hmm... Either it will be General or a Dark/angst
Ships: None
Rating and Warnings: 1st-2nd years; Violence
One-shot or Chaptered: one-shot
Word Count: Under 2000 right now
Permanent Beta Y/N: Y, for this story; and I would love a turn-around time of four days, if possible.
Summary: Voldemort finds himself transported into some nightmare after casting the Killing curse on Harry- kind of how Harry visits King's Cross station, Voldemort visits somewhere different
Anything you want me to pay close attention to?: This is a dream of sorts, so some leeway is allowed for confusion and ooc. I want the girl Nagini to stay a girl- she represents his subconscience, and if she were a snake, he would be more likely to listen to her, and besides, a human Nagini is able to show more emotion. But don't worry- there's also the snake Nagini in here. Also, I really want the battle with himself to be the main part- and the fact that the slimmer of hope to save himself is gone.
An another note, this was submitted before, but rejected because Tom was too much ooc, and the dream seemed a bit unbelievable. I have since edited it, and so you would be reading my last draft. I really do need help with this!

I hope you are able to help me and I thank you for your efforts!

[noblefate]

CanisMajor, I'd be happy to! Check your PM.

Nagini Riddle, I think I can do that quick a turn-around. Check your PM, and we'll work from there.

Hi! I'm wondering if you could do this for me. The drabble is supposed to be submitted by the eighth, so if you could get it done before then it would be fantastic. It's very short, so if you could do it it would be fantastic. This is also the first drabble I've ever submitted in a contest!!

Username: Theloonyhermione (on both)
Story title: Er, I don't have one yet, but if you could help me with this, it would be amazing!!
Genre: Next-gen
Ships:none
Rating and Warnings: 1st-2nd years, DH spoilers.
One-shot or Chaptered: Drabble
Word Count: about 320
Permanent Beta Y/N: No
Summary: Lysander brings a new pet to school in his first year at Hogwarts.
Anything you want me to pay close attention to?: Um, no. Just tell me what I did wrong (and there will probably be a lot, because I finished this in about twenty minutes. XD

[noblefate]

Theloonyhermione, you've got mail.

[Nagini Riddle]

Hey, do you know any betas available to beta my mystery story? I need one really fast if I even want to think about getting at least three chapters written for the Chaptered challenge in the Great Hall. I tried to advertise my need in the beta wanted section, but have yet to get anyone... Help!!!!!!

[noblefate]

Nagini - If no one picked it up from the general want ads, you can come into the Beta Services threads or the Beta Guild and request someone. That may be easier if you have a particular beta in mind.

Hi

Username: silverlining95 (on both)
Story title: This Is It boy, This Is War
Genre: General
Ships: None majorly featured
Rating and Warnings: 6th - 7th years, DH Spoilers and violence
One-shot or Chaptered: Chaptered
Word Count: 1501
Permanent Beta Y/N: Yes
Summary:
Michael Corner returns to Hogwarts for his seventh year knowing that the world around him is changing, and not for the better. He knows when the time comes he will fight, however right now he has to deal with the emotional toll the war is having on those closest to him.
Anything you want me to pay close attention to?: This just got rejected, and in the feedback I received I was told that it could have been accepted, however there were some 'clunky' sentences and occasional grammar slips, and that I could make it better than okay. I was also advised to have a beta look at it, so here I am

I hope you can help, this is my first chaptered fic and only my second experience of using a beta so I'm a bit nervous, and probably was a bit over-eager in submitting it before it was fine-tuned.

Thank you,
Fenella

Fenella, check your PM.

[Ginny Weasley Potter]

I'm back, Megan!

This time, I have a fic which has been validated and I'd just like you to look through it and help me fix whatever needs fixing. I'm not very worried about turn-around time as I will not be posting the edited version unless Alex finishes judging this.

Okay, first off, this is about an OC, Anurag Krishnan. He's a rather established OC from a chaptered fic of mine, and also a companion one-shot I wrote for him for the final exam last term. You can find his entire, detailed profile here, if you're interested (and don't pay attention to the surname thing if you do look there. It's too confusing, as I now realise O.o)

Username: Ginny Weasley Potter
Story title: Face Value (link on banner)
Genre: Other Pairing
Ships: OC/OC
Rating and Warnings: 3rd-5th years, none ( haven't written a fic without warnings in ages lol)
One-shot or Chaptered: One-shot
Word Count: 3000-ish
Permanent Beta Y/N: Just for this one.
Summary:

In life, we tend to look at things by their face value. We always want the better looking things: the more decorative and shiny the objects have our undivided attention.

However, face value isn't everything. We must learn to look at inner beauty, as that is the most important thing in life.

This is Ginny Weasley Potter of Hufflepuff writing for the Fairy Tale prompt in round three of the the One-Shot Triathlon at the Character Clinic.

This story is a sequel to 'Mum's the World' and I'd really suggest reading that first as it has the same OC, Anurag Krishnan, who is also a part of my chaptered fic, 'Where Are You?'

Anything you want me to pay close attention to?: I wrote this fic in two hours and completed it ten seconds before deadline. So you can guess the grammar errors and typos that must have gone in there. Could you please just look through and help me with it?

Well, I'm not sure if you're into OCs or not, but I do hope you can take this up. Also, I know I've said reading 'Mum's the World' is necessary for this but if you want, I can just summarise it for you.

Thank you!
