Perfect Imagination

I was asked to post this on behalf of Asli. Perfect Imagination is now reopen, so make sure to check it out!

An opportunity for beta readers and writers.

Perfect Imagination has been serving the Harry Potter fanfiction community since 2003, providing quality tested beta readers for Harry Potter fanfiction writers. As of March 1st 2008 the site is expanding to include other fandoms and original writing.

Beta readers are asked to take a short test to demonstrate their expertise. When a passing mark is achieved, a beta can choose preferred fandoms and create an individual profile for each. Information such as the genre and length of fanfiction, as well as the preferred relationships and the beta reader’s strengths can be listed and are factored into the search process.

Writers can then approach a beta reader via the site with their story details, and beta readers can accept or decline projects at their own discretion, putting them in complete control of their workload.

Writers can search our database of beta readers by fandom, story length, genre, relationships and beta strengths to find the perfect match for them. If the fandom they are writing for is not currently listed then writers can recommend it for addition and, in the mean time, contact a general beta reader who is willing and able to look over any form of fictional piece and provide a technical critique.

Perfect Imagination aims to support both writers and beta readers as much as possible, and we will always be available to mediate should any problems arise. We offer a free service, and we are always expanding the site further to better meet the needs of the community as a whole.

I took the test before and failed...is there some way to study or some sort of guide to use before I retest? I would like to be a beta for HP.

You can start here, perhaps: http://forums.dracoandginny.com/index.php?topic=881.0

I'm a beta reader, and I did mentoring and accreditation test marking for PI, so I based that off of the most common mistakes that I've seen.

I believe livejournal has a few communities that you could look into for SPaG discussion.
