I have a Vinjury story, about 12 or 13 pages long. It's OW, the latest chapter in my AU (wherein Ezra was the guest of honor at a shotgun wedding and is now in the bonds of wedded unbliss, because Judge Travis won't let him get an annulment or divorce.) However, I think it would make sense to someone who hasn't read the other chapters.

I should be very grateful for any constructive criticism.

Before I submit the fourth instalment of 'Savage Duty' I really need
someone to re-read (or read for the first time) all of my current
stories - parts 1-3- plus the fourth to check for inconsistencies;
anything that readers may find confusing, any mistakes with names or
incidents within the story- bearing in mind that it isn't finished
yet(I can use the next 2 instalments to correct problems).
I'm not idle, its just better for a story to be re-read by someone new:))

Does anybody remember Disney's Gargoyles TV show, from about ten years ago? I just finished the rough draft of a Gargoyles Mary Sue story, and need a beta-reader (or two).

My M7 work is not going well at the moment -- Ezra is not being cooperative -- so I'm putting our Seven Heroes on hold temporarily to try to work on other projects. I hope your writing is going well, and that the Dreaded Real Life is not getting in the way of more important things like fanfic.

I've just finished the rough draft of an ATF crossover, and it is VERY rough. The story is a crossover with The Master, and it crunches Chris and Vin. Constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

The target 'zine is Let's Ride #13, with a deadline in October. Would anyone be interested in beta-reading a story about Chris Larabee, Vin Tanner, and John Peter McAllister?

Thanks if you can.

Hi!

I am looking for an English native-speaker who would assist me with translating a story that I originally wrote in German. The German version had already been checked by a beta-reader and was also already published on a German Fanfiction-page.

If I would try to translate the whole story on my own, I would probably need years... *sigh*

If there's anybody out there who understands enough German to help with the translation, I would appreciate if she / he would contact me....

- Type of story: gen

- Approximate length of story: 33.310 words (German version)
- Main character(s): The story focuses on Ezra, but all Seven appear in the last third of the story

- Universe: OW

- I am German native-speaker (English is my second language)

Your help would really be appreaciated!!!

Thanks!

Lena

Hi!

I am Lena from Germany.

English is not my native tongue, but I love to read books and watch movies in English. And of course I love M7!!!

I am not sure if I (being no native-speaker) could be of help to anybody. Probably not with grammar or orthography... but I surely would be able to help with continuity, references to the series and critismn and suggestions about the story itself, since I do a lot of (fictional) writing in my native tongue German.

Mostly I prefer OW Fanfiction - the lenghtier the better! ;-)

A couple of month ago I wrote a M7-story in German, which was praised by those who read it. Since there aren't many too M7-fans in Germany anymore I would love to translate and 'publish' my story for the English-speaking readers. But I guess with that I would REALLY need some help... I will send an request for a beta-reader for my story in another mail.

Glad to be here,

Lena

doesn't bother me; however i draw the line at consenting/consensual
rape, bondage and torture between main fandom characters (slash is

Hello there,

I'm looking for someone willing to beta a WIP. It's an adult slash content work involving all seven of the members. I should warn whomever wants to undertake this task that a lot of my work gets fairly dark and deals with some pretty heavy situations, however I do not go into anything involving children or animals...the rest is up for grabs. The file is currently at 260 pages ( I don't remember the bytes right now) and still nowhere near complete.

A brief synopsis, so you know what you are getting into is this:

Set in an AU that I have written for other universes, members of Pride Seven are the experimental pairing between a race of beings called Sa'arcathi and Humans. They are paired thus Chris Larabee (Sa'arcathi war commander)/Vin Tanner (human sharpshooter); Josiah Sanchez (Sa'arcathi war priest)/Nathan Jackson (human healer); and Buck Wilmington (Sa'arcathi smart ass)/JD Dunne (human technology genius). You will note there's no mention of Ezra just yet...that's the story.

The Sa'arcathi race is divided into three different social classes; the warriors, bondai and slaves. (Take a wild guess-you might be right or not.) This is the story of how Ezra joins Pride Seven and the resulting chaos created by it. It will feature guest appearances through out the series; as well as all our favorite bad guys doing bad things.

Please let me know if you are interested in being my beta. I check email rather infrequently right now due to work obligations but I manage two or three times a week to do personal stuff.

Also, I do have another shorter work in progress a gen/ansgt that someone might like to handle. It's not gotten as huge as the other project but is still going to be long.

Hope someone out there is brave enough to delve into my psychosis! Don't worry the water's not that deep.

I've not written fanfiction before and would like somebody to look over
my first story for me. The more "grammar Nazi" you can be, the better.
If you can help with characterization too, wonderful.

It's a One Shot piece that will be around eight pages or so in length,
if I'm estimating correctly. The universe is ATF and the main character
is Ezra, with a bit of Ezra/Inez thrown in. J.D and Chris also feature
quite heavily. It's hard to say what genre the story is because there's
a bit of everything, but I suppose angst and hurt/comfort are the most
dominant aspects.

Hi guys, I just joined and I need a beta for a birthday story on the
M7h 7c list. The birthday is November 18 so I need it a few days
before that.

Type of story: Gen, I only write gen.

Length: 20 pages

Main Characters: Buck and Ezra

Universe: Two Blood

FYI: I'm a terrible speller but word usually catches that, I do look
for red lines. But if it's spelled right but the wrong word, that I
don't catch. And I'm terrible at comma's. I never have figured out
when to use and when not. But I think I'm inproving, at least I try.
  I guess that's all. Thanks, Jeanne

A filk song is a science fiction folk song, originally usually a parody, but often nowadays original. If you are not musical (like most filkers, I sing in the traditional key of off), you can write lyrics and set them to an already existing song. Some people write their own music. M7 isn't SF, of course, but most of the fans are SF fans.

Filk song was a typo of folk song in an SF convention program, and it stuck. Almost all of Kipling's poems have been adopted by filkers, and having read two of your poems, I think they could be easily set to music.

Beth, thanks for sharing the Vin song.

Susan M

PS My filksongs are based on Misty Lackey's fantasy books, War of the Worlds, Airwolf, Remington Steele, trouble I had with a RenFaire vendor, an original fantasy story I never managed to sell, A-Team, one about my daughter's underwear that she'll kill me if I ever publish it anywhere, two to teach my children how to spell their names, and of course, M7. 90% of my filksongs can be found in Lee Gold's Xenofilkia. Lee's probably got a website; everybody else does these days.

In addition to giving a definition of filk (a fan fiction that is a parody of a song), I thought I'd share one of my own filk songs.

BRIGHT CHRISTMAS*
(Mag-Seven style)

by Beth Green

*Sung to the tune of ’White Christmas’

I'm dreaming of a skilled tracker
Who swept the street outside a store,
'Til without no flinchin'
He stopped a lynchin'
'Cuz Vin shoots and saves and scores.

I'm dreaming of the town's healer
Who's very dexterous with a knife.
With his neck in danger
An unknown stranger
Helped Vin Tanner save his life.

I'm dreaming of a tough gunman
Dressed up in black from head to toe.
And his tragic history's
Not still a mystery
'Cuz Buck let Miz Travis know.

I'm dreaming of a stud cowboy
Who's also handy with a gun.
When not with a lady,
He helps out JD.
Spends life mostly havin' fun.

I'm dreaming of a green sheriff
Who found his family in this town.
The lad lost his mother
But found a brother.
JD's life got turned around.

I'm dreaming of an ex-preacher
Who had a vision of some crows.
And he's strong, not silent
And sometimes violent.
The man's had his share of woes.

I'm dreaming of a cute conman
Who dressed himself in women's clothes.
Ezra's prone to rambling,
And often gambling.
He's not humble and it shows.

LAST VERSE:

I'm dreaming of the Mag Seven.
I hope they visit you tonight.
May your dreams be merry and bright
And your favorite cowboy(s)
Spend the night.
