Torchwood Fest - Beta help needed

[m_findlow]

Greeting readers, writers and esteemed lurkers.

It's Torchwood Fest time yet again, and yet again I have left it a little late for organising betas. What can I say? I'm just a last minute, seat of my pants kinda person when it comes to things like this.

Anyhow... would really apppreciate if anyone out there would mind giving me a leg up. I've got two pieces ready to roll (about 2.5k and 4k respectively) and another WIP that'll probably end up around 10k (and estimated date for compeltion I hear you say? Who the heck knows, Christmas Eve the way things are going!)

You don't have to be an expert, or hold a degree in Medieval literature (though kudos to you if you do), you just need to be able to save me from the horrors of predicitve text and my own inability to proof read without skipping over mistakes and automatically correcting them in my brain (apologies for the slew of errors still lurking in published pieces....) Predictive text is great for getting words on paper fast, but a nightmare for editing!

If you can lend a hand, even just for one fic, that would be awesome, and if you're feeling generous, hop over to torchwood_fest and register your interest as a beta. They don't have any yet and some writers will be needing a helping hand.

Thanks! :)

I'm not going to sign up in the fest comm to beta because I'm already both beta'ing and writing for other fest deadlines, but tell me your deadlines for your fic mentioned here and I'll see how much I can beta for you.

I'd probably be looking to post them by the weekend of the 18th December. Would be very appreciative of any assistance you can squeeze in to your schedule!

If you can send me the 2.5k and the 4k that are ready for beta, I can do those the last week of this month or the first week of next month. I don't know if I'll be able to fit in the 10k that's currently a WIP -- if you LMK when it's done you can check with me then.

That would be awesome. Same email address as before?

Yep, same email.
