Erika, never heard of anyone paying for Betas. People pay for editors, but that is a whole new issue. I'm in the midst of something, but will probably have some dead time in the next three weeks. If you send me the thing, at some point I will beta for you. It won't cost you a cent, and will be worth at least what you pay for it.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?
Host ,'Not Fade Away'
The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

Chapters 1-34 are 78k so that would make it very viable with a strengthened Savin storyline. I could land that at 100k. I may have to go big.

My offer is still open as well. I just can't be quick at the moment.

Ok, being that the show is so dudely, it couldn't hurt to have some guys read it...insent, shortly. Thanks. (I did decide to pay for the notes...I'll get it back if I ever write the next Big Fat Greek Bitch, right?)

Because books.
Who did you pay, erika? Because if it's not an editor or someone with a lot of actual publishing experience, I really wouldn't pay for that next time around.

He says that he used to read scripts for a studio...he has a screenwriting website...I know, any asshole can have a website, I have one too, but people actually read his. Ah, well, it was the old man's money...we'll see how good his feedback is.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Five more rejection letters today. Sam is too sweet, too earnest, too weak, has no flair, and basically I suck.
I hate the hurty parts.

I'm so sorry, Allyson.
