Well, I seem to have branched into writing fanfiction for two other shows - the American sitcoms Wings and Full House - and I am at a loss as to how to find a beta-reader. I can't find much of a fandom for Wings at all and Full House is so campy that most of its fans are teens.
Anyone like either show? Help! I am so spoiled - our Gatch/BotP fandom is so organized and supportive.
I'm familiar with both shows, but not necessarily a fan. My oldest is, though.
He has written some fanfiction, mostly sonic and maybe pokemon, though he is much older than the average age of their fanbase. If you want to trust a rookie beta reader, I can ask him if he would be willing to give it a try and I can read for plot and grammar until you are comfortable with him.
Though, I'd be happy to do any cross-overs you may have planned.

I remember both shows, but may not be a good beta seeing as it has been so long since I saw them .... If you wanted another set of eyes I would volunteer, but I also know the next few weeks to month is going to be busy for me as I stress over writing report cards. After that I would be free for the summer though.

I was never much of a fan of either. Sorry I can't help.
Thanks, gals. Ame, I'll poke on you when I get finished with one or the other. I am definitely planning to cross Wings with BotP -- I want to have Mark temporarily store his Cessna in Joe & Brian's hangar and maybe do some charter work for them in return.
I only vaguely remember Wings...but I've seen Full House on reruns...I'm not well-versed in either one, sorry I can't be of more help!
If anyone does anything with Inuyasha or Harry Potter, I'm in, though!

Do you mean Full House from the 1990s, with John Stamos? I remember that show well, but I'm not sure why teens would be fans of it?
TJ, Full House has been in syndication forever and I think it ran on Nick-at-Nite for a while too. When I looked on fanfiction.net for beta readers, there were like 86 people listed. I think I read ten profiles that all said they were teens before I felt like such a stalker that I gave up. I agree it is odd.
I used to watch John Stamos on General Hospital back when he was Blackie, (which is what got me watching Full House way back when in the first place). Boy, does that make me feel old!
FWIW Wings is on the Canadian Netflix, and is coming back into syndication on one of the channels up here. I'm not sure if it's a US or Canadian channel. I watched some of it and it was amusing.
Oh, Chris, you shouldn't have admitted that! One of these days I'll be shooting a Wings fanfic in your direction ...
That's fine, I like your writing. Have any more of that Condor Rising series done? No shame if you don't, I haven't touched any of my writing in quite a while. *sigh*
Chris, actually I do. I'm shooting one over to you now that I ran in this round of Bird Scramble. It falls somewhere at the end of Caldera Madre (which hasn't gone anywhere).
Yay, happy.
When I get into severe withdrawing kind of moods (hermiting) I tend to want to live a lot more in my head than anything. There was lots of Gatch and BOTP storytelling going on but just to myself, heh. Be nice to read someone else's.
Ooh! Can't wait until you write it down ...
We'll see how much, if any, gets written down. I've forgotten half of it and while I do enjoy the stuff I tell myself, not all of it really deserves to be written down. The hard part sometime is figuring out which stories have legs that will actually work for other people's reading, and which don't, but I think we're all familiar with that problem.
I'd like to get more done on the existing storylines I've got before starting new stuff. We'll see how it goes.
