I thought my days of writing fanfic were over. Long gone were those Dawson days. But here I am with a story idea and an itch to write it. I need a beta for a story idea I've got.

I have had in the past betas who will simply respond with, "Great job!" No this is not what I am looking for! Even if the grammar, etc. is good, I need to know what works and what doesn't work and why.

I want someone who will be able to check for grammar, redundancy etc., characterization, overall story critique, etc.

Just a bit about the story itself, it will be long. Many many updates. It's kind of an adventure/suspense/drama with little flavorings of ships here and there. It's going to be post-island and so there will be a bit of Ana/Sayid/Nadia angst and some Jack/Kate/Sawyer action, which will evolve into Jack/Kate.

We're talking people on the lamb, kidnapping, maps, weapons, recon missions and even a float plane or two!

Wow your story sounds great I can't wait to read it.

And I'm sorry for not being anymore helpful in this post but I totally know what you mean about the betas who just say "Good Job." It is the most annoying thing in the world......

Well thanks, haha. I might just have to settle for the "good job" beta if I ever want to get one. I have this feeling that people who write lostfic don't have betas judging by the lack of response (I posted this at LF too) and that SCARES me.

I wouldn't mind being a beta if you don't mind me being me.
