Hello everyone! I'm somewhat new around these parts, so if I'm somehow goofing up how to properly go about things, it's due to ignorance. Getting right down to it: I have a fic that needs a beta. (A beta that won't go easy on me, preferably. Don't worry, I've been subject to blatant honesty for years when it comes to writing.) It has a vague Valentine's theme twist in it. Surely, everyone here could use a vaguely Valentine's-themed Doctor/Master fic in celebration of the upcoming holiday, yes? So really, it'd be helping me to help you, so that much love can be shared by all.

Title: Behind You
Pairing: Eleven/Other Master
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 1,720
Summary: After escaping the Time War, the Master is in a decidedly carpe diem sort of mood. He celebrates his escape and his new regeneration with the Doctor. In ancient Greece. I repeat: Ancient. Greece.
Warnings: Deceptive title is deceptive. May make you question the innocence of Valentine's Day iconography. You've been warned.

Title: Rebound (2/?)
Author:

deliajohnson
Pairing: Ten/Simm!Master and TenII/Rose
Rating: PG for now
Warnings: Spoilers through EOT. Slash and het, living together, mass hysteria!
Summary: Doctor Who AU Post-EOT. The Master and Rose realize that neither of them actually know what the hell is going on.

It was, after all, a Police Public *Call* Box

Part I

Formatting issues now fixed for both parts. Also, I would really really love a beta reader. Pls? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone!!??!

I hope this is ok to post here...

I normally don't use a beta, but I've been feeling so uncertain about this story that I think it's suffered from my hesitancy & could use a 2nd look. It's Theta/Koschei & it's consensual BDSM, pain, & D/s. So I need someone that doesn't squick.

And here's the problem. I've been promising this story for days now & would like to post it as soon as possible. So I've got maybe another hours work to go, and then I need a night owl or early riser (or someone in a different time zone!) who can do this by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. If that's at all possible, that is. If I can't find anybody, I'll do a thorough re-read and try my best to hammer it out.

Thanks.

I'm looking for a Beta Reader for a short piece that I may end up doing a sequel to. It's 10/Simm!, post EOT, and also features Rose and 10.5. Around 2200 words now and rated PG. Takers? Email is my LJ name at yahoo.com.

Mostly harmless participator in the Big Bang AU challenge seeks suitable beta, must have good knowledge of Eight's era and character and be willing to put up with bloated purple prose. Personality irrelevant.

My grammar is pretty solid, but I need someone who's relatively familiar with both Ten-era Who as well as good dear John Simm's film Human Traffic. The first chunk is a bit over 4,000 words, no clue how long the whole thing will be. Any takers for a newbie to the comm?

Hey guys, I’m taking part in

vortexbigbang this year and I need a beta. My fic is Doctor/Master and I would say it will end up being between 40-50,000 words. Currently its 27,000 words long.

More details under the cut

Well, I'm searching for someone who'll be willing to beta the D/M fic I'm writing for the vortexbigbang . It's set during the Time War, but turns AU when the Doctor is told/becomes involved in the Master's resurrection, and they are then partnered together. The challenge was to write 20 000 words - I think by July 26, although it was unclear, so I've just asked about it. I'm currently on 25 000. Originally it was supposed to span almost the entire War, which I have as lasting 12 years total. I planned it out. I started writing. I've come to realise it could well end up over 100 000 words. There's no way I can finish it in time for the challenge, hence me scrambling to find a good point in which to break it for the Big Bang. A sort of 'End Book 1' thing. I have a vague idea for that, but it's one thing I really need input on. I haven't reached that point yet, but I should in a few weeks time.

As for the general beta-ing. Aside from grammar/punctuation (which, as this is a 1st draft, isn't especially important just yet), I really need feedback on characterisation (it's 8 and Jacobi!Master), relationship development, plot, style, dialogue, actions scenes, and probably smut. Hopefully I haven't scared everyone away yet. I'm more than happy to take on multiple betas (if you're only willing to go as far as the end of the challenge that's fine, but it'd be brilliant if someone would stick with me to the very end). If you're interested, either leave a comment/send me a PM, and feel free to let know which aspects you feel most comfortable beta-ing. Also, if anyone fancies/wouldn't mind letting me bouncing ideas off them, I'd probably love you forever. It would be a big help.

Hello, all! I am searching for a beta. I'm attempting to write an epic Simm!Master/Ten time-loop!adventure. I've become fond of attempting to express as much as possible in as few words as I can manage. So, epic for me is probably not anymore than 50 pages. But, It will be full of angst and fluff and strangeness. Please find a little bit more about the story in general and a rough sketch (which needs a lot of work! >_<;) of the first chapter under the cut. Be warned -- there are spoilers for The End of Time.

I need a beta for a Shalka story that's about half pg Doctor/Master relationship stuff and half normal episode adventure things, told from Alison's point of view. I've been working on it off and on for about...three months, and while it's done now (at about 8,000 words), I'm highly suspicious that it doesn't actually make any sense.

I'd appreciate someone who could go through it with a focus to rooting out incoherency and my tendency toward tangents. Someone with a good grasp of character voices would also be nice, but since it's Shalka and they only ever got the one animation, I don't think it's that big a deal. It's more about maintaining internal consistency. Since I've been over it a lot, I don't think spelling or grammar will be a major issue- though if you find errors or want to point out other problems, that would be great. Basically, I just need someone who can call me out when the plot gets dull, incomprehensible, or both.

Thanks!

I'm making my first foray into writing DW fic, and I'm in desperate need of a beta - or betas. It's the first part in an approx. 5 part WIP, written from the Eighth Doctor's POV, in letter form and set during the Time War, and comes out at 4050 words long. Preferably, I need someone good with character voice - particularly Eight - and who is willing to help me root out all the sentimentality and sickly sweet angst that's found it's way in there. Plus, you know, general beta-ing of what's not likely to be wonderful writing.

I got a little carried away with the recent "audio challenge" and now I have 5,500 word Valeyard/Ainley!Master fic (which is part one of a planned three or four parts) inspired by "He Jests At Scars," which is in want of a beta. In particular I'd like someone who can 1) check that the characters sound like themselves, since I'm fairly new to Old Who 2) tell me if my timey wimey stuff makes sense and the corollary that my exposition doesn't become repetitive or heavy-handed in my desperation to make sure the timey wimey makes sense. 3) general beta awesomeness, ie, tell me when my sentences suck, my narrative falls flat, and my commas cavort where commas ought not go.

... well actually three beta requests.

( I need help... )

I am in need of one or more new long-term betas for Praxis.

This is slightly different from your typical betaing job. The main responsibilities are:

Moral support.
Being a sounding board when I'm stuck/brainstorming.
A bit of "spot the typo" and being fresh eyes when I've been going over one section for too long.

Requirements:
You'd need to be available on IM at least a few evenings a week.
You must enjoy the messed-up love that is Doctor/Master. (Shouldn't be a problem with this group.)
You DO NOT have to be an expert on britpicking, DW canon, or even a writer. Enthusiasm and a reader's eye are far more vital.

Benefits:
You get to catch up with the unposted chapters already in the queue.
You get to see new chapters months before everyone else.
You help ensure that Praxis fic actually reaches its planned conclusion (seriously, I need my betas to achieve this).
My eternal gratitude. ~~And a pony.~~

Does anybody feel up to betaing 10000 words of Shalka-fic? I wrote a Shalka story for the

sizeofthatthing Anon Kink Meme, but then I edited it for proper posting and it sort of grew nearly five times as long.

You needn't even actually know Scream of the Shalka, because it's set before that serial and is sort of a origin story for Shalka!Nine and his living arrangement with the Master. Warning: this has *massive* Doctor-angst (I mean it!), weird hurt/comfort and kinky sex going on.

bagheera-san.livejournal.com

I've got a fic that I've decided to turn into a WIP to motivate myself and it could need a beta reader!

The fic: The core of it is a Time War story, so it's Eight/Jacobi!Master and mostly set on Gallifrey. I'll be quite long, judging from the first chapter and the snippets of the rest that are already written, I estimate 20000 words or more. Flashbacks include Seven, and Nine/cheetah!Master (but if that weirds you out, I've probably got someone to beta that bit.)

It would be great if you knew Eight (I've only seen the TVM and listened to one audio), but knowing Seven isn't all that important.

gritsinmisery.livejournal.com

Yeah, is anybody really anonymous?

So... NC17, 3800 words (give or take) desperately seeks beta willing to deal with pr0n written by someone who would rather write the mental than the physical.

bagheera-san.livejournal.com

Thanks to the marvellous Anon Meme I've written two fics that qualify for this month's Five/Ainley!Master challenge, so I'm looking for a beta! (I'm glad that the general consensus about the anon meme seems to be that you *can* stay anon but don't have to *g*)

Story #1 is 2053 words long and PWP and, um, fills a gaping hole in D/M fic, namely that of Trakenite Pon Farr stories.

Story #2 is a PWP with added darkfic flavour and consent issues, 1966 words long.

And then there's a really short Delgado!Master/Three ficlet that could need a beta, too.

lady-rani.livejournal.com

I've just realised that I joined and didn't introduce myself. How very rude of me!

Anyway, hello! I'm Lady Rani and I have an obsession with all things Master-related. In my opinion, there's just not enough bearded Time Lord evilness in the world (or non-bearded in the case of Simm). I am particularly keen on DelagdoMaster/Three, AinleyMaster/Five and SimmMaster/Ten. Mmmn.

Anyway, I've written a 2350 word crackfic and, being a complete newbie and totally ignorant in the correct ways of fanfic, would appreciate a Beta (or several) to have a look and tell me where I am going wrong (or right...but probably wrong). It's SimmMaster, Ten and Rani, PG-13, no porn, just a bit cheeky in places, and is probably a cautionary tale as to why you shouldn't enlist the Rani's help to raise you from the dead.

Please comment here or on the thread at my journal if you can help.

Thanks!

If you'd like 1) to beta some challenge fic, or 2) need yours looked at, please say so here.

I would beta and I need a beta. It's v. 'circle of life.' Drop a line if you'd like to help me or anyone else out!
