Help! Looking for Beta-Reader, please :

[theladyjazz.livejournal.com]

Hey, guys! So I have a long break ahead of me and I'm planning to finally get started on this multi-chapter fan fic that I've been wanting to write and publish for ages now. I've already written the first chapter and have got about 2/3 of the basic plot all done. But I could sure use a BETA-READER to help me work more efficiently. I don't need really require much, just minimum basic requirements such as:

a.) Decent in grammar (i.e. able to easily spot and correct grammatical errors in whatever form)
b.) Willing to discuss plot with me (through e-mail, chat, skype, whatever)
c.) Can give constructive criticism concerning characterization, plot holes, style, whatever. Hey, I'm a big girl. I can take it ;)
d.) Will be online most, if not all the time. (like, once or maybe twice a week.)

It'd be awesome if the prospective beta-reader can also co-author this fic with me but you know, it's not really a requirement or anything. Anyway, if you guys know anyone or are willing to beta for me. Please let me know by COMMENTING.

By the way, I'm Asian so if you're willing to beta but might have a problem with the time zone difference we can talk about it. Hopefully, we can work something out, yeah?

Thanks a lot and I hope you have a good day.

You have now a bunch of applications, boss, but I'd like to offer my services, too.

My credentials:
- I'm English
- Also lived in America, Canada and France (and speak fluent French
- Currently live in Japan (so time zones may work out?)
- English Literature degree from the University of London
- I am online all day everyday, across various mediums (email, Facebook, Skype, whatever)
- USUK is my life.
- I have written a few fics, and have been getting much more into it recently (haven't uploaded them yet because they're not fully edited). I would really like to try and improve my skills by working with someone else. Even just beta-ing and getting to discuss this stuff with someone would really help me. And if you're happy for me to co-author then I would love the opportunity to learn from/with you.

Thank you for your offer but I've already picked a beta-reader. But...I do have Francis in this fic so maybe if I need a French consultant? *wink wink*. Can I contact you, then? Also feel free to contact me if you wanna work/discuss stuff with me. Right, I get you. USUK is my life right now, too. Two tsundere blonds with UST is just too cute to resist for my weak, fan-girl heart. :)
