If it shows any promise I am thinking of doing a part two to this story.


You can also attach files in PM. Below the "submit" box there should be an "Attach Files" dialog box down there. Just browse to the file, select it, then hit "Add" or "Attach" or something like that. That way you don't have to copy & paste text into the PM body, little easier to move fics around.

I look forward to seeing what you've got... and trust me, no offense intended to all the wonderful betas :D, but JT is the best. She's my beta :)

JT was my first Beta. She helped me in such way that I won't forget NEVER.
I'm very sad that she can no longer edit my stories.
But pdsldl(even if she now has some difficulties about to continue this job for me) and, above all, my dear friend Linda - so clever, so careful - wanted to help me.
I want to take advantage of what Elessar said, to thank them.
Oh yes! I'm very lucky with women. YES! :D
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

I've decided to publish the story called Mirage in TriSilk, and I need a beta for the first three chapters (the rest is being provided by the kind Alelou.)

They aren't very long (the first chapter has three pages, the second five and the third eight.) And it would be just grammar, since English isn't my first language.

The story is an AU (yeah, what a surprise) about an universe where Vulcans and Humans keep fighting for around 75 years now. The first chapters have nothing of TnT, but they're light and full of dialogues, so I think it's easy to follow.

Well, that's it.

OK, no.

Please, pleaseeeee... pretty, pretty pleaseeee... I'm begging youuuu... help meeee....

Now it's over :D

I read that on FF.net! I wish I could help but you've picked the stuff I ABSOLUTELY cannot do correctly. Sorry. :(

Justripn, couldn't get a damned thing to work tonight,

si I pasted a sad example of my writing to a PM and I accidently pasted it twice.

Lousy evening.

If you feel like it pls give it a quick read.

wish I could get someone to rewrite properly so I could print it and use the bettter written example to learn from.

cheers.

Hey there - I'm brand new to the forum, but I thought I'd start here because I'm in the middle of a TnT fic that could use a beta. It essentially a finale fix (so a little bit of an R rated love-fest) but my main purpose is to heal the wounds left by *the_abomination*.

That being said, I'm also a willing reader too. :)

YES, welcome Dynomite. This is a fun place. Maybe you'll want to head over to the "New Members Introduce Yourself Here" thread. Not many people look at this beta thread unless they are a beta. (I am, but I'm booked up at the moment.)

Tell us a little about yourself. What are you working on? Which authors, stories do you like? Go to the thread below and tell us! :)
