I have a beta who is MIA since before Christmas. Normally this isn't a problem, but I've sent her 2 chaptes of a large arc and a vignette to beta and haven't heard back in over a month. The wonderful Tengu has checked, but for this particular arc, I really do need a couple to make sure that I stay on track. It's a BotP universe arc, the main story starts when the team is about 40. For the first couple of chapters - "Generations - Reunion" - you can find them at: here . If you visit my FF.net profile, you'll see the other vignettes in the Generations arc (profile is here ) - the summary mentions if they are part of the arc. This is a rather massive project - it's going to be several multi-chaptered stories, plus a number of vignettes, so I need somebody who's willing to stick around for the long haul. If you're interested, I do have an outline that I can send you. Mostly - I need to be kept in line with grammar and plotholes (plotholes - don't talk to me about plotholes - I'm currently having to write my way out of a plothole in my fic "Seeing Double - also part of the Generations arc) Just to let you know - I do tend to write R - NC17 stuff and this looks to be an R when I've finished it. Some slash will be involved and some M/F/M. Any takers? Megs

Have you seen the beta readers site at http://www.geocities.com/betareadg/ ? There's a list there of people who're willing to beta read, but I'm not sure how up to date it is. For example, I haven't seen JJ Kelley post anywhere for about 2 years so she might be on there because she's never been around to say she's not interested any more (although perhaps she is and she's just lurking or using another name, and I've only picked on her because she had the word "yaoi" in her comments). There's also a beta readers group over on yahoo groups and you might find someone there to help. I think the groupname is betareadg.

I've been lucky in that my MIA beta has re-appeared - she was laid low by a combination of work and flu! *sight of relief*
