We'd like to remind everyone that though we do not require fanfics to be beta-read before they are posted here, we do strongly suggest that fics be checked for spelling and grammar beforehand. We will remove fanfics from the archive for being unreadable - mostly if they are formatted improperly or if they have noticeably severe grammar problems (such as lack of capitalization, lack of paragraphs, lack of punctuation, etc.) When we remove fanfics, we will notify you of the reason for their removal.

If you're looking for a beta reader, please see the Beta Readers members list. These are members who have volunteered to beta read fics. You can also volunteer to be a beta reader for other people by editing your account profile. Beta readers should have a good grasp of the written English language. Please note that they are not just pre-readers - they actively make suggestions and corrections on fanfics to help improve the quality of those fics.

All fanfic writers, no matter how good they are (or how good they think they are :)), should have a beta reader. It's a good idea to, at the very least, run your fanfic through a spellcheck program (like Word or Word Perfect) before posting it.
