Brit-pickers and beta-readers for Secret Santa needed
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!!

Bump.
(Dorothy, that is a lovely offer but being a participant yourself it might spoil the fun if you beta for someone else.)

I can beta and (moderately) Britpick. At Holmestice I often combine the writing with betaing and it actually just adds to the fun.

Question: Are there any more volunteers for beta-reading? I will need someone who can check grammar, spelling and sentence structure of my story. Thank you very much in advance for everybody who can help

Will do :-)

Re: Brit-pickers and beta-readers for Secret Santa needed
I'm online right now if you need a quick spellcheck beta. I'm not so good at other kinds of feedback, but I'd guess you've pretty much finished your fic now and don't need plot/characterisation suggestions etc
