Wanted: Beta Reader for BotP story. Must be able to check spelling, punctuation, typos, sentence structure and continuity while ignoring Microsoft Spell Check because I write using the Queen's English (it's spelled encyclopaedia, okay?) Must also bring own sense of humour (preferably twisted) and understanding of tropes and cliches as used in popular media. Sarcastic smartarse preferred but not essential.

I'm still willing to do more for you. I know I'm not the fastest, and I still have one of yours to get back to you, but I'm almost ready to send you my notes on that one.

That would be awesome. The story you're reading is quite a long and complex one and I imagined it would take some time to get through. It took me years to write it, so it was never going to be beta-read in a day, or even a week! Smile

Work is somewhat quiet at the moment - only daytime stuff all through January. Since I am a night owl that gives me more reading time! I also have 2 weeks holiday in mid Februaury, during which I'm hoping to concentrate on writing a bit more. Although, what I really should be doing by that stage is learning my lines for the show I'm in at the end of March!
