Beta Reader Needed

Like the title says, I need a beta reader. Desperately. If you're interested in helping me out with my current story, please read below. I have a few stipulations.

I need a beta who...
1. ...can badger me to write more. I often forget to write or lose the desire to. I need someone who is willing to harass me to get chapters out every so often.

2. ...is fluent in the English language. Please, if you'd like to do this for me, have an understanding of how English grammar works. I don't mean to be rude, but I need someone who can catch my typos and mistakes.

3. ...is available for communication via: AIM/MSN/Yahoo/ICQ. I have accounts at all these places, and availability here would make it easier for you to yell at me when I haven't written recently.

4. ...likes to have fun! Someone who will chat for the hell of chatting, someone who is willing to entertain ideas with me. Role-play loving people especially.

5. ...is willing to become very familiar with a large group of characters. My story features a large cast of people. I'd be willing to spend time just going over characters and descriptions, but I need someone who can remember them.

You'd be beta-reading my current story, Angels and Demons (also known as Angely i Demony). Currently, I have three chapters posted, but I'm in the process of actually rewriting them. You can view them here. Yay! Please check those out before you sign up for this, just so you can see if you think you'd like the storyline.

I've read Angels and Demons, and enjoyed it profusely. May I?

Well, Megan beat me to it, but I would also like to offer my services as say an assistant beta?

Wow, thank you, both of you! I'd love all the help I can get--the more the merrier! Plus, I get twice as much advice on how not to mess up a sentence. I'll contact you both shortly via the e-mails you've got listed on your pages here (unless you'd rather me elsewhere) and give you all the contact information I normally don't give to anyone else.

I'll also inform you both as to the nature of what I'm doing to Angels and Demons. It's getting... "gutted" would be a good word, but perhaps too light. You'll get the prolog as an attachment, which really doesn't amount to much, and perhaps the first chapter, but it's being as stuborn as it possibly could be and refuses to come out the way it should.

Oh, and so you know the e-mail is from me, I'll put something painfully obvious in the subject line. Like "Angels and Demons." That way you'll know I'm not spam or someone trying to sell you viagra.

Okie-dokie.

EDIT: Why are you gutting it, pray tell?

Well, I've been beaten by two people already, but I'll certainly offer my services if you'd like some more. ^_^

However you want to send it is fine! I don't mind. Still, I must also admit that I'm curious as to the reason you're "gutting it"...
