Hello peeps, Its been a while since I've posted or done anything on Subeta (mostly cause xmas is busy time for me XD) but while I'm not active here, I'm still active on my laptop. And what am I actively doing? Writing stories of course! Not many people know this about me but I love to write, have since I learnt to read and spell (badly.... o.o' ).
PLEASE NOTE This isn't really meant to be looking for someone to do a job and get paid sorta thing. I'm looking for someone who shares the same interests/hobbies as me who'd like to help someone out and gain a willing friend in return :D
So anyways what this topic here is about is me trying to find someone to help me on my adventure of writing things. And I say things because I write in a few different areas, as in I write Fanfictions, Short stories, A little poetry AND... I even have a novel (series? maybe) idea which Ive been mulling over which I'd like to bring into creation eventually.
If your someone who thinks they might be interested in being a longterm writing partner read below, if your just interested in being a Beta/Editor skip to the very end of this post,
What I'm in need of from someone out there is what I'm basically going to call a Writing Partner. I'll list below a few things that I'm looking for in said WP: -Is a Keen writier, as in you have your own things your writing that you want help with as well as the want to read others stories and help make them better etc -Someone who understands crazy schedules or random disappearances (bad habit of mine DX) -Fairly literate, I'm by no means a stupendous writer but I do need someone who can at least write as good as me XD -Someone with Good grammar and spelling (mostly grammar), I have trouble with grammar at times aswell as not noticing when I do silly things writing wise (like repeat myself, or use the same sentence structures etc) -A WP that is at least willing to read stuff from the genres I write in, cause if you totally hate the thing I'm writing about then whats the point? Some of my writing interests for example: Fantasy,Horror,Sci-fi---Harry Potter, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Other Animes, Lost Boys, Star Trek and more
REALLY, Overall I'm willing to try and write with anyone who's interested and posts on this thread so please post away!
Beta/Editor A Beta Reader or Editor is fairly straightforward in what it is so I wont explain, but I am looking for one so if thats what your interested in then please let me know by posting!
THANKS FOR READING! -Beary
I'm interested in editing. Silly question but are you paying? XD
I need money >>
Aahh No. Not real money at least, I'd be willing to pay with SP if that sort of thing were allowed??
Didn't really think of this as being a paid thing, more like someone helping someone-else out of enjoyment of the same hobbies, and also getting them help and friendship I suppose (hopefully haha :3) in return...
I'll edit my above post to let people know though, Sorry I didn't think of it previously - derp
I'd love to be your writing partner and friend :3 we could come up with a great series and stories together :3
hey there! I totally understand random schedules. I feel you. Haha! Anyway, I'm interested in being your beta, if you'll have me. I'm a writer as well, and I would be glad to let you 'test' my skills first before you decide. :D I don't care about getting paid, since I have a job of my own and my pay there is already sufficient to cover my expenses. Feel free to chat me up if you ever get interested! By the way, it's a pleasure to meet you!
Hey hey, sorry for not getting back to you till now. Christmas and new years has had me acting like a busy bee with extra hours at work ugh lol. Anyways would you be interested still? If yes, Could you maybe send me a sample of your writing? I can send you one in return too :3 then either through that or actually writing together we can see how we gel
The pleasure is mine :D So your interested in just being a beta that's great! Do you consider this as just a Spelling/Grammar checker or do you suppose you'd be able to help me put more oomph in my writing too? I'd be more then willing to do the same for you too btw hehe. Also do you need to know what subjects/genres my stories are in incase they bore you or do you not mind? I'll be straight up and say that my story which needs the most beta-ing is a Harry Potter fanfic, thats the one I have the most written for and planned out; but I have others too (on my laptop theres a small few, but I have a ton of hand written ideas too haha)
I can do the spelling and grammar check for you, but I'll also be able to contribute some insights and suggestions about your stories if you want, as well. I'm okay with Harry Potter. It's one of the book series that has enraptured me, along with the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Chronicles of Narnia, so I'm quite familiar with it. :D Don't be shy to contact me so we can set some time to talk about when we begin the beta-ing and possible brainstorming sessions if so needed. I'm looking forward to working with you. Happy New Year!
I would definitely be interested in this. If you are willing to be a bit patient with me, as I have quite a busy schedule myself, I would love to edit for you! It's one of those weird things where I actually enjoy editing and constructive criticism, and I also love writing! I don't expect you to pay me, as it's something I enjoy doing. If you don't already have someone to edit for you, I would have no problem being that person! :)
Hey sorry I have been busy too ! Id love to write with you though . My email is [email protected]
