Okay I'll admit it.

I've got a serious case of writer's block. I know where I want to go with my stories but I'm having trouble figuring out how to fill it in as I go along. And the usual way I cure it isn't working, as in I'd read writer's that are better than me (or worse) to get inspiration.

But I think I have a plan.

I'm not going to force myself because that will make things worse. I'm going to take a small break. It's not a major hiatus but it's likely I'm not going to have my stories updated by the 8th. Why is the 8th so important? Because I'm going on holiday then and I'll definatly be unable to write stories.

That's part one of the 'Master Plan'

Part two is to find a Beta reader.

For anyone that doesn't know, a Beta reader is someone that edit's your stories, helps with idea's and generally tells you if there's any faults.

So Here's my official plea for a Beta Reader!

Needed one dedicated individual that would like to Beta read for me.

Help I need somebody, not just anybody, take a look at the stats...

Stories Needing Beta'd:

Most important one's Neko Love, an R rated  Ranma 1/2 story and also Vegeta's Tail, NC-17.

Second important, The Prince and the Sorceress, PG-13, DBZ

The story I just do for fun, Akane the D*minatrix, definite NC-17 with S+M and all sorts of kink.

Finished but could probably do with being Beta'd really not important at all, Bulma's Tail, NC-17

Problems I have:

I'm dyslexic so I need some help with my grammar and spelling because a spell checker is not infalliable and sometimes I can get character's names wrong. (Mousse being a prime example) I also write in UK English so an understanding of the difference's would be an advantage. I don't want to be corrected for spelling colour wrong.

I don't need whoever is willing to volunteer to take on them all, if you just want to Beta one that's fine. Pick a story and volunteer, I'd love to hear from you.

All the stories are work in Progress but have at least 20 chapters to the most important. 

Um, also I'd like the Beta to be mature (and when I say mature I just mean round about the same age as me. I would never call myself mature.)

But quick test.

If you don't know who this person is --->

---then please don't bother. If you don't know I pity the foo'.

Essential:

Must have a sense of humour and know about the fandom either Dragonball Z or Ranma. Whichever one you wish to beta for. You must have some free time to dedicate yourself to helping me 'sort out' my stories.

Not Essential but preferred.

Experience, if you've Beta'd before then it would be a big help. As I don't want to tell someone how to do their job. Also know how to use the red ink or bold to highlight any changes.

If you have a different method then tell me and use that.

If you've read my stories before and liked them.

Also you have to be able to handle the sudden bouts of Chibi Vegeta that takes over me.

Chibi Vegeta: Whaddya mean?

Mz D: I mean the sudden way I change to script format when I'm writing Author's notes.

Chibi Vegeta: Heh, I have no idea whatcha mean. *Looks shifty*

Mz D: Oh yeah and be able to understand when I'm using slang 'sound like' words.

Chibi Vegeta: I've got one. This person or person's is gonna have to worship the very ground I walk on. I am the STAR!!

Mz D: Eh... no you're not.

*Ahem backontopic*

You can either leave a reply in this Journal, it goes straight to my e-mail like a reply on ffnet. Or you can e-mail me the normal way.

Yup that's about it. I am in serious need of some help. I have the plots worked out I just need some help making it sound good. I'm surprised it took me this long till I figured I needed a Beta.

But you know where is a writer without an editor? I could name names... *coughJKrowlingfifthbooksuckscough* *Coughannericecough* but I shan't. Ooh I had a bad cough there...

( Besides they get a hell alot of money which is more that I get.)

Oh yeah, and remember Beta reader's don't get paid! I might do a fanart pic for you but that would only be if you did a good job. Plus credit where credit is due. I will put your name at the top of each chapter you helped Beta for me.

Wow big post and is probably filled with spelling error's and gammar wrong doing's. Come on someone sort me out!

Hey Mz D. I've been a fan of your work for a while now (especially Neko Love), so I thought I'd offer my services as a beta reader. I have a few stories on ff.net if you want to see my stuff ("Yuki", "Insommnia", and "Hanging by a Moment" all under the name Doctor Emmit Brown). Email me if you think I can help!
-Doc

i would be willing to be a beta bitch for the vegeta's tail story considering i am deeply in love with it oh and the pic was of mr t. anyway reach me at Luna_2005us@yahoo.com

I've read most of you stories, and I really like them. I would be honored to be a beta for anyone of them. I don't have any experience, but I have dabbled in writings of my own (I lose myself much too quickly and the story fizzles). But I am better suited for helping or criticing a story. If you decide to use my serivces, then email me and let me know.

ill beta the neko love story for you...i have to much free time and i need something to do besides sitand look pretty (stupid)

hey, it's me again. : watches you run away in fear an' all : hey, wait!! did i mention i have no life and ive read what youve posted of this story and akane the dominatrix already? : watches you stop : there, good, id do veggie's tail, but ive gotten away from DBZ, ya see ^^;; : holds up a cross to fend up chibi veggie-head. anyway, if youve looked at meh reviews at all b4, youll notice im critical, but fair. also, you should know i can spot grammer errors a mile off. no real experience with "beta-reading" as such, even tho i do know what it is, but i have proofread before, and that's the realworld equivalent (btw, look up "origin or the saiyans" on ff.net if yer interested in my skill as a writer, even tho it's a mary sue, which i am sorry about, it is pretty good) and i believe a good proof-reader should be a decent writer himself. i should warn ya, tho, if i proofread for you, youd better expect to get haranged constantly to get around to actually writing stuff up for me to proofread (i go through books the way a fat guy goes through twinkies[incidentally, you should probably know i edited that last bit like four times befor i was happy with it XD]).

anyway, please excuse the pretext to get a peak at the next coupla chappies of this and akane the dominatrix ahead of everybody else ^^;; : hugs : take care, love ya, and so does jesus, etc, etc, etc.
