Feel free to post here if you would like to ask for a Beta Reader. Please post any relevant information about your fanfic so anyone willing to help out knows what they'd be working with. Some things to include would be:
- Genre
- AU/Canon/Crack/Etc
- Characters
- Pairings/Genfic
- Anticipated Length
- Summary/Concept
- Areas help will be needed most: Spelling/grammar/dialogue/plotholes/general editing/etc

I'm looking for a beta reader for a fanfic I been writing for years. Title: Caught Genre: Mystery Verse: Canon Characters: Mainly Kogoro, Conan/Shinichi, Heiji, a dozen or so OCs Pairings: Canon Anticipated Length: When I first started writing it back way back when, I thought it might be about ten chapters. I'm working on the sixth chapter, and no one gotten killed yet. Summary: After a nightmare, Conan overhears Kogoro on the phone with someone who might be Gin. What will Conan do when right after that Kogoro takes him to a lodge when a rush of crimes keeps get worst. What is Gin up to? Areas of help: Grammar/spelling/general editing. Other notes: I have a plan on how the story ends, and even how the sequel of Caught goes. Here is a link on what I have posted on FF.net.

Please!!! I need a beta reader for the propmt exchange!
This is my first time writing in english, so I desperately need someone who can check grammar and spelling (wordreference is my best friend right now, but I need help with this.)
Thanks!

I've been meaning to ask for a while, but I'd like a beta to go over my collection of short stories titled Stories From Beika. It has no set genre, pairing, or predicted length, and is just a collection of various stories that are too short to post on their own. A lot are AU stories of some sort. I mainly want a check for how the writing and dialogue flow, along with maybe a spelling/grammar check in case I missed something.

I can't speak for the other betas, but I'm already working with a couple of other authors and have my plate a little full at the moment. I'm willing to bet that, if the others don't respond, assasin8 will do a wonderful job! assasin8, if you are willing to offer your services, why don't you put up a beta profile on Poirot?

I've a fic that I'm 60k words in, and I would like a second opinion just so I know this is worth pursuing and isn't utter $#!+. It's a long and convoluted divergence-from-canon story, and will be a definite M, rated for graphic violence and death, psychological trauma, (mild?) sexual content, degenerative illness, and explicit language (did I cover the spectrum?). It is a slow-moving action fic with more focus on psychology than anything else, and revolves around the Gosho boys and the Black Organization. No pairings. I expect this story to end up in the 200k+ words range, provided I maintain my motivation to write this blasted thing (if I don't finish writing, I don't publish). I have the storyline all planned out for the most part (still missing details), but would like someone to be a pair of second eyes to check for simple spelling mistakes, issues with flow, inconsistencies in timing, how well it meshes with canon, etc. I'm not expecting too much from my beta, more just someone to ensure sure my fingers know how to type "Katiou KID" properly.

Hi, I'm looking for a beta reader for a one shot. Here are details.
Title: Concealing Verity Genre: Friendship Verse: Slightly AU Characters: Mainly Conan/Shinichi, Ayumi Pairings: None, (unless you count Ayumi's one side crush) Anticipated Length: No more than 5,000 words. Summary: Aymui wakes in a makeshift coffin after being knocked out by strange people. She not alone though. Conan's there but something is terribly wrong with him. Areas of help: Grammar/general editing/ dialogue.
Other notes: It's really a Ayumi finds out Conan is Shinichi do to circumstances. I've had this story lying around for months unfinished because of dialogue. PM me if you're interested.

I'm looking for a beta reader to help with my Haunted Writing Prompt submission.
Genre: Murder Mystery (I'm doing it similarly to a manga arc w/ three chapters of setup, deduction, and revelation. Characters: Ai & the Detective Boys, aged 11/12. Pairings: None, excluding Ayumi being in the "Just Noticing Boys" phase. Anticipated Length: It's for the longer 6k-8k prompt, and I'm aiming for about 2k words per chapter so any overflow won't risk going too high. Summary/Concept: Part of my Post-Canon Conan storyline: The Detective Boys visit Beika Middle School's cultural festival and find themselves having to solve an attempted murder within a classroom's haunted house. Areas help will be needed most: Mostly making sure the mystery side hangs together, so that it's potentially solvable without giving anything away too early for readers and making sure the solution makes sense. Also making sure the older DB are believable and not too extremely out of character outside of being sixth graders instead of first graders.

I'm looking for a beta reader to help with my rare pair submission. My usually Beta's beta-ing my other fic and might not be able to beta this one in time for the deadline.
Genre: relationship, friendship Characters: Satou And Chiba. With mentions of Takagi and Shiratori Pairings: mainly satou and takagi Anticipated Length: 5k Summary/Concept: Satou Miwako isn’t as oblivious to the attention her male colleagues bestowed on her and she couldnt ask for a better BFF than Chiba Kazunobu . OR Basically rehash of canon but from a different perspective if Satou and Chiba are closer friends than they are in Canon. Areas help will be needed most needed: mainly grammar, sentencing and the likes. Look out for OOCness too. Or just tell me if anything isnt working
PM me if interested! Thanks

Hey! So this is the famos Poirot cafe! I´m really excited to be here! Even if it´ll take some time to explore everything. But first of all I want to ask for someones help. I´m not a native speaker (if thats not already obvious by now), I´m German and I´m writing fanfictions for quite a few years now. I always had two betas by my side cause my spelling can be bad sometimes (I apologies if your eyes are tearing up right now already because of all my mistakes). But yeah I still want to write. I might not be that unpopular with my German "Conan" stories, you can have a look at my profile if you want to, name is "Shelling__Ford" on animexx. Anyway, I always liked writing in English and I would love to try myself with a one shot at first, so here some details about my writing: Gerne: Drama, Mystery, Romance, Friendship, Hurt, Angst. Even if I would say I do like Drama and Mystery the most. Characters: Shinichi, Ran, Heiji, Kazuha and a few others. Pairings: Shinichi x Ran but also some Kaito x Kazuha or Kaito x Aoko Length: well… a One Shot is about 7000 words or more… My chapters are a little shorter but it depends. I wrote stories with about 45 chapters so count the words together your own What I would be searching for… is someone who has patience with my somehow crappy English, who would like to correct not also the spelling, commas and grammar but also make it a little more smooth, change sentences if it sounds wrong and so on, I dont want to publish a story which is odd to read due to the fact that Im not a native. I know its a lot to ask. But on the other hand I would not hurry you, Im always glad for my betas work and the time they take, I simply like to know how long its about to take so that I can plan how and when to publish the story. I would also love to have two beaters to make work easer for your so if you have someone in mind you would like to share the work I would love to invite both of you. Well… of course I cant pay (dont know it that's a must have here?)- cause I only finished my degree as a vet. so I´m pretty bad with money, sleep and such , But I´m a little good in art so if I can repay you in any way dont hesitate to ask. So if this long post didn't make all of you flee from my "little" ask I would love to hear from you via PM, I´ll try to answer as soon as possible. Thanks for reading! Yours, Shelling

Not gonna need one for about a week, but just to gauge interest because this will be a very long thing that will probably require some dedication from a beta (it' not just going to be a oneshot if I can write it how I plan).
Genre: action, adventure, possibly mystery but I doubt it Verse: cyberpunk AU (think the Matrix) Characters: basically the main DCMK cast; Kaito, Shinichi, Aoko, Akako, Hakuba, Ran, Heiji and Kazuha, as well as one MK manga-only character who's a fic spoiler. Others would be side characters. Pairings/Genfic: up in the air as of now. Leaning towards canon pairings or genfic, but that's also something I would like to discuss with a beta Anticipated Length: Hahaha. Longer than 20k, but any estimation past that is blind guessing Summary/Concept: Kudo Shinichi wakes up from a coma with amnesia, and has to reintegrate back into his old life all while being checked on regularly by his doctor. Unfortunately, Shinichi isn't exactly Shinichi, and not completely human, either. To make things even more confusing for you who are reading this summary, the main character is Kaito and more information would be divulged to the beta because this is already chock full of spoilers as it is. Areas help will be needed most: Mostly plot coherence and understanding. I want to make the fic mysterious, but not so much so that it gets confusing and the readers quit trying to wrap their heads around it. Grammatical and spelling errors would be nice to catch, as well, but I'll try not to make too many.
