happy to help Name: shoebox Contact email: shoeboxes4all@googlemail.com Art or Fic: fic Beta experience: a bit of fanfic, and been on receiving end too. IRL I'm an editor and proof reader. Will not beta: not a lot that I won't read. Not keen on underage stuff. Time needed per 5000 words: depends on what you want me to do. I can usually turn things around fairly quickly but would reiterate the mods comment about giving your beta enough time to do the job properly. When available: most of the time. Bear in mind that I am in England so there may be a time difference to consider. Last date available: Will/Will not beta a WIP: no real preference. It makes life a lot easier if we can work out a schedule. Additional comments: Britpicking a speciality 8)
