snupin santa request received. I am :
- deadly excited
- scared shitless.

I'll have to beg for a beta, not only someone to correct grammar and typos (though this is good too) but also to discuss plotting & characterisation. I'm unsure about the rules there, I thought anyone to beta was okay as long as they keep their knowledge of the assignment secret, but now I heard we need someone outside of the feast ?

I don't see anything in the rules against it; AFAIK, you just can't talk about who they are or thank them until after the fest is over, since that can give away who you are(n't) writing for.

Thanks ! That was what I had understood in the first place as well. Otherwise it would make things difficult.

I am always up for beta jobs, and I heart the Snupin. :)

Yay ! thanks !

How do you prefer to work ? (e-mail ? instant messengers & the like ? Filtered posts ?) I've never work with a beta for more than typo screening so I'm not sure how to make it work ?

I'm very grateful for the help ^_^

Email is usually best, because I am fond of the "track changes" and "insert comment" features of MSWord (and thus regularly send back stories covered in scary red *g*).

I would like to help - If you want somebody entirely outside the fandom circle.

That would be so cool, thank you ! Have you read the books at all ?

It is Harry Potter, right? If the Japanese translations count, then yes.

Good ^^ otherwise I'd be afraid it wouldn't even be understandable.
