Betas, Editors?

[agnosticmantis.livejournal.com]

I've got a problem in my fandom that it's tough to find betas let alone editors. I want to work with one but can't find someone in a tiny fandom. I've heard there are people who will beta, at least for punctuation and grammar, plot continuation, etc. even if they're not fans of the show. Anyone know where I could find a beta outside my fandom? You can write me privately.

Thanks

Editors/Betas

I write Monk, it's a dramedy tv show that's been on about 4 years now. The two cops. Interestingly it looks like the most popular pairing is actually the title character and the police captain. People write *all kinds* of pairings in this show, het and slash. Maybe in an effort to pimp the fandom I could get some fanfic online then into a digest zine later.

I don't have a story completely ready for a beta now. I've got some serious revisions to make on my end, but I'd like to see where a couple of them can go.

As a long-time Fry and Laurie fan, it's a kick to see someone with a Stephen Fry icon respond! :-))

Thanks for the interest.

Well, shit -- I'd beta for Monk :) I wouldn't consider myself to be a part of the fandom, but I've seen quite a few episodes, and I'm very good with grammar and punctuation issues. Feel free to send it my way when you've finished your revisions, if you like: ignazwisdom @ gmail.com
