Beta Readers
Mary T. Kalnin - I have a BA in French language and literature and 1 year toward an MA before the money ran out. I analyzed and critiqued French literature for four years, and English literature for two. I am a published author in my professional life which is librarianship. My strongest points would be as a grammarian (I notice a heavy reliance on computer spell-checkers, so much so that the resulting grammatical errors detract from the stories). I can also spot gaps in the plots (even my own and I do correct them). I won't Beta the NC-17. Rarely does the graphic sex advance the story and I'm likely to say so. I am a firm believer in the old adage that one uses as much sex or violence as is necessary to set and advance the plot; anything more is gratuitous.
BettySarah - I would be willing to be a Beta Reader for anybody who writes Diagnosis Murder Fan Fiction stories that heavily feature Steve Sloan. My favorite ones are the hurt/comfort stories. I always return the stories back to the writers as fast as I can and I double check and sometimes triple check for grammar. I have been a Beta Reader for several fan fiction writers.
Kellyanne - I'm a psychology major, (one year away from my bachelors). I've been writing since I was nine years old, and my friends come to me when they want their stories edited. I took a writing course a few years ago, and I've learned to be a strict editor. I won't read NC-17, but you can send me any other DM fanfic.
Kimberly Janecki - I would be willing to be a betta Reader for any of the authors writing Diagnosis Murder stories as I love to read all of them. My favorite character is Steve but I will read any story envolving all the characters or some of the characters in Diagnosis Murder
Alana - Hi! I'd like to be a beta reader for any DM fanfic writers, particularly those whose stories mainly feature Jesse Travis, but I will do others. But I don't do NC-17 or slash. I'm 16 years old, and I have posted my stories at www.fanfiction.net, if you want to read any of my material. My screen name there and on AOL Instant Messenger is BlanaPirahna. I will do my best to see that your story comes back to you as clean in grammar an spelling and as readable in content and characterization as possible! So don't hesitate to ask for my help!
