beta search number 603

[neveralarch]

Year in review post coming presently, but here is a beta search! I feel like about half of my journal consists of beta searches. I used to ask for betas on lj comms, but as I move into new fandoms I'm less certain about where the activity centers are and tumblr doesn't work the same way. Also I don't trust strangers.

ANYWAY, looking for a James Bond/Skyfall beta. I have written an Elizabethan Skyfall AU, which I have managed to keep down to 11,000 words by dint of great effort. Rated teen for violence and death, minor Bond/Silva. Knowledge of the 16th century def not required - one of the reasons why I suspect this needs betaed is whether it's understandable to anyone not literally immersed in the renaissance. I would really appreciate it if anyone has time! No deadline, though I'd like to get this finished before I drive back to school on the 18th. Thanks :)

I do not have the time/brains to beta these days, alas, but OMFG I LOOK FORWARD TO WHEN YOU POST!

:D It's good to know there's an audience for this kind of ridiculous fic, haha.

Hey, so I just wanted to let you know that I posted the fic a little while ago here - it was at a kind of weird time, so I figured you might not have seen it. If you did, sorry for bugging you! I just wanted to make sure you weren't still waiting :)

Thank you for letting me know! I haven't had the chance to get to it yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

OH MY GOSH YOU WROTE THE ELIZABETHAN SKYFALL AU! **feels honored to have inadvertently prompted it**

I could offer to beta, though I'm not sure how good of a one I would be for these characters in particular. (I'm not the most expert on them, though I did see the movie.) Also I'm not entirely sure how much time I have: I still have a syllabus to write and I'm not sure when it's due next week...

However, if all else fails, I do offer myself as a generic sort of beta with dubious timeliness. :-)

I did, I wrote it! I started on Monday and then words happened to me, it's kind of a blur.

I will keep you in mind, though it sounds like you are kind of busy. (Which I totally understand, I'm glad I don't have to try and teach yet.) But if I don't find anyone else to beta I might ask if I can send it to you with absolutely no pressure on when to return it :) Either way, I'll let you know what's up!
