Alizea chronocross28@gmail.com -- I love reading and I am very interested in becoming a beta reader. I am great with spelling, great with grammar, plot holes, and structure. I'll read anything, it can be a death story or AU, it really doesn't matter to me. I would encourage any writer to make these Sentinel characters their own by adding their own personal style. As this show is over ten years old, it's ok to be flexible. Hope to read something soon

AmyS amys@tca.net -- I'd like to volunteer to be a beta readeer. I've done a lot of technical editing, so hopefully I can help with grammar, spelling, structure, etc. I'm usually pretty good at spotting irregularities in continuity as well. I've also spent way too many years in academia, so I can provide information on getting degrees and office politics.

Angela angelafarr@juno.com -- I would love to be a beta reader for anyone who needs help. I'm good with spelling, grammar and sentence construction. I'm willing to work with any type of story except slash and I prefer not to do death stories with major character deaths.

Anne comberanne@hotmail.com -- I'd love to volunteer as a beta reader, I read a lot, particularly fanfiction.  My genres include Supernatural, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, NCIS, BtVS, Angel, Criminal Minds, CSI:NY, Harry Potter, Star Trek:TOS, Dark Angel and can happily provide continuity advice as well as characterizations.  Ironically, my continuity with The Sentinel would be a little more shaky.  I'm happy to provide spelling grammar and phrasing checks on any type of story including crossovers, but particularly enjoy epics and am a fan of slash pairings too.  I would appreciate a heads up before taking on death stories - let me brace myself with tissues! 

Annie annieb111@msn.com -- My sister, Lyn,who has written some Sentinel stories suggested I offer to beta. I love The Sentinel & Stargate. I am just starting to do some writing. I've done manuscript editing before for novelists and non fiction writers, mostly forensic pathology and biographical texts. I'm good at grammar, spelling and medical terminology. I'm an RN and medical records typist.

Bianca pigglet99@hotmail.com -- I would love to be a beta reader. I am kinda new at this game but there isn't anything that I wouldn't read, except for death stories. That's about it. I am good at spelling and plot and okay with grammar. Glad that I can be of some assistance to someone.

Bruce Alan Wilson lawrence81@iwon.com -- I would like to beta read. As a former HS English teacher I could help with grammar, etc. Also, for non-US writers, I would be willing to help "Americanize" the English. (For example, in the US we say "flashlight", not "[electric] torch"; "radio", not "wireless", etc.) I would rather *not* do AUs or crossovers. The former because I do not like them, the latter because I frequently do not know the other universe well enough to comment. Be warned, I am hard on character deviancies, and one of my pet peeves is not allowing the characters to display the brains their creators gave them. If you make Jim act like a dolt or Blair act like a ditz, I'll come down hard on you!

Charlotte The1932tootsie@aol.com -- I would like to volunteer as a beta reader. I am a avid reader, and would like to help out. Often pick up on an awkward phrase or event in reading.Also would enjoy reading the authors efforts and be a small part of their success.

Connie Green spacecatdet@sprintmail.com -- I like crossovers, alternate universe stories, series, and drama fiction based on episodes.

Cynthia wolf_guardian@hotmail.com -- I am new to beta reading but I have beenn reading Sentinel fan fiction for two years now. I would be willing to help out with plot, characterization, spelling and grammar. I love crossovers the best but I would like to beta read any type of story.

David puckgood@gmail.com -- I would love to be a beta reader. I would be happy to read anything non-R rated and slashers. I am a big fan of fantasy and fiction especially. I'm a great speller, fairly good with grammar, and very good with plot and characters. I am very much in touch with the younger audience (only just having left that crowd myself). My credentials include scoring a 690 on the SAT's in seventh grade and winning many writing and poetry contests.

Dinah mzettl@freenet.de -- I'd like to do beta-reading. As my native language is not English, I'd rather not do grammar, but I'd love to help out with characterization, plot, etc. I can also do crossovers (could get tricky when I don't know enough about the other show; Highlander, Stargate, Star Trek are no problem, but others are also okay).

Elaine Powers MisElaineous@oakharbor.net -- I would love to volunteer as a beta reader for the talented, creative folks who post the stories I've come to love and admire. My major was history, minor in English, and I love to figure out which spelling of similar sounding words is correct, sort of a challenge to me. Let me know if I can help.

I prefer not to beta death stories, but I can if needed.

Hayley M. hazza_the_insane@hotmail.com -- I'd like to offer to be a Beta reader for somebody. I'm a real bear for spelling, punctuation and grammer - I can't stand it when stories are published that mix up their/they're/there or have incorrect punctuation and grammer. I'm Australian, so you might just have to tell me where you're from, so I don't mess that up (eg changing around 'z' and 's'). I'm also happy to help with characterisation for Stargate SG1, Lord of the Rings (although not all the characters) Star Trek The Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise, Harry Potter and NCIS.

Hercat hercat@hotmail.com -- I am a third year university student who tries to write fanfic, but seems to make a better nitpicker than weaver. I don't read slash or detailed sex scenes. There is nothing I like better than a good AU or crossover. I also watch SG-1, Early Edition, some BTVS, Trek, and B5.

JJ JenniferJumper440@hotmail.com -- New beta reading volunteer here! I'm branching out into reading other fandoms besides Sentinel and M7, and am familiar with most U.S. scifi shows, so crossovers are as enjoyable as regular stories. I'm a proofreader of teacher's guides professionally, but I never seem to get enough to read, so don't be afraid to dump on me. If you'd like help with characterization and I'm familiar with those characters, I will. I'm much better at spelling, continuity, details, and logical progression and am fairly familiar with British, Australian, and Canadian terms if you need them Americanized.

Karen Rumpler karenrumpler@aol.com -- I would like to help out with the beta reading. I consider myself a great proofreader and usually catch the mistakes after everyone else has read something over 5 or 6 times. I prefer reading stories that are not crossovers or death stories. If anyone needs help, anytime is good, except until the first week in May, I won't be on a computer on Thursday nights (history class).

Katie Katilian@aol.com -- I'd like to volunteer as a beta reader. I have a B.A. in English and taught it at the high school level for 3 1/2 years, so I'm good with grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

I'll read anything (death stories, crossovers, etc.) and am somewhat familiar with many TV series.

Kimberly Workman kimberlyFDR@hotmail.com -- I can volunteer as a beta reader. I am working towards my BA in American History and Creative Writing, so I have a strong grasp of grammatical procedures. I cannot beta AUs or slash, but I can handle pretty much anything else. I can also help on chracterizations if the writer is unfamiliar or has a weak grasp of it.

I also can say that I can beta for characterization, plot and some crossovers.

Shelley Knepley ladyshelley@earthlink.net -- I volunteer to be a beta reader! I will read anything except death stories (just can't do justice to the writer) I will check characterization, plot, continuity, grammar, spelling, the whole ball of wax.
