    Beta readers for the Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014 wanted

    Hi everybody

    Last year, some of you volunteered to beta some of the stories handed in for the Secret Santa Fic Exchange.

    It would be fantastic if there would be some volunteers again this year. So if you are interested in it, please post a short message here, so the writers can contact you. Writing will start this weekend.

    Thank you!!

    I could beta-read one or two stories as a non native speaker, for plot etc. 
    (Not more than ~ 5.000 words each, though.)

    ... but there may be some new players now. It’s okay. The East Wind takes us all in the end.

    I'm not a native speaker either, but for a non native my English is pretty good so I could beta too. And I'm unemployed so loads of time on my hands. ;)

    I could do a short one, too (say no more than 3000 - 5000 words). If I get about a week to do it.

    Bump, bump.

    Anyone who does not write for the exchange but is willing to do some beta-ing? Would be sooo lovely.

    Oh, I hope you'll soon find the time to relax a bit and really get started.

    I don't have experience, but happy to look something over if it's helpful - I'm British, and my spelling and grammar isn't too bad (despite making lots of horrible mistakes myself, I do often manage to spot other people's).
