Why do I seem to have so much trouble getting a beta to stick with me?

Especially now that I'm branching out more in Spidey fic, I just seem to have a hard time finding people willing to beta for me. Especially where the Spider-Man fic is concerned.
(anyone interested in being my beta for 'Invisible Collar' or for another Spidey fic that snuck up on me*g* (basically a fic where post-civil war Peter is turned into a kid and Tony Stark decides to raise him. Hell I could use a co-writer for that one, in my weirdest imagination, Stark's co-parent would be the ghost of Captain America, at least in Tony's mind he'd be there*g*)

Hell, I've even got several chapters written of a Spike/Hamilton slavefic that I don't dare post, cause most of the chapters aren't betaed, and I'm stuck writing the rest of the story, till I get a beta to look at the previous chapters.

It's starting to get me worried about how bad my writing must be, cause I already know my spelling and grammar suck.

Just plain worried.

Awww! I feel bad. I don't think I've ewver read your stuff to comment, but I'm sure it doesn't suck. I'd offer to help myself except that my grammar probably isn't totally perfect either, I've never beta'd before and I don't have the time. I hope someone comes along for you xx

See - I can't even type ;)

They should just give us edit buttons for comments, it would save a lot of comments*g*

[thelostkelpie.livejournal.com]

They should - I need that function more than most ;)

[liliaeth]

no more than me, and it's so annoying to have to delete a comment just to save it.

Tell you what though - if I find time, I'll check out some of your fic and leave a review.

thanks :-)

I've been reading your stuff, developing a recent obsession for Spike as I watch Buffy in DVD. Gee, why didn't my friends tell me this show was so good? Oh, I guess they did and I thought they were hopeless fangeeks...

Anyway, I've been reading your stuff and enjoying it so if you need someone to proof, I would be ecstatic to do so. Have much experience with clarion-style workshoping and a degree in English and all that. Send to reasie at gmail.

Thanks I'll try and send you what I have of the fic so far.

I'm in a pretty intensive school program but I have fri.'s off. I could beta or co-conspire in regards to the baby Petey one, because -dear god- that is the cutest idea ever and must be brought to fruition.

my e-mail is setlandon@gmail.com

Either way, I've really been enjoying invisible collar.
