So, after months of denying myself a beta, I've decided to put a call out for one.
I haven't had one here due to the huge reason. My last beta in another fandom (Prison Break) was a crazy shipper who got so bent out of shape about an AU piece I wrote and took it out on me by hacking into my account. She deleted my account multiple times, which wiped my status as one of the top 5 authors off the charts as well as erased all recammendations and chart numbers for my stories out. I haven't been able to reclaim my status yet, and I just really haven't trusted anyone since then.
But I really need a beta.
The New Haven Series I'm doing has slowly evovled into some complex archs I'm very proud of, but need to be realized fully, fleshed, written and edited. I need someone who I can trust (seriously, once bitten twice shy to share), bounce ideas off of as well as edit my work and give an honest opinion. You won't start editing Lilac Syndrome, but the story after it as I've already gotten about twenty pages written out (I'm going to try to have the entire thing written out and edited before it's posted, so there's none of this writing on the fly nonsense that produces sub-par chapters).
Please contact me if you're interested. 
Your Indian Pirate Lord,
Ash
EDITED: Because I called Lilac Syndrome by it's first draft name, The Cure

Wow, That old beta of yours sounds pretty much psycho! What an awful experience...
I'm too slammed to be of any help, but good luck in finding a beta! I like to think that Firefly people are generally more sane then other fandoms. At least, they are now that S/K vs J/K wars have cooled down a bit LOL!

I'll be happy to beta for you!!!
That old beta of yours is way wacked up. But, don't worry, I'm not a b*tch. I won't ask you for your password or anything like that.
