Tell us a little bit about your specialties and abilities. Let us know what you're willing and able to beta.
Willing to beta (pairings, ratings, genres, het/slash/gen…): I'm pretty flexible on all of the above. I'm supposed to be offering an objective eye here...If given the choice, I'd prefer het/gen. Pairings..doesn't matter. I've got a fair amount of experience working with original characters.
Not willing to beta (pairings, ratings, genres, squicks...): Again, I'm flexible.
Specialties (SPAG, canon, characterization, constructive criticism, britpicking, art, other…): I'm good at SPAG, tone, flow, and continuity/plot holes. I'm fairly decent at characterization. I'll offer up gentle and polite concrit. I'm not your best choice for brit-picking, as I'm not British. I have read for British and Australian authors and am good at pointing out slang us poor Yanks aren't likely to understand.
How many authors/artists are you willing to beta? I'd say two, but if the works are smallish, I can take more.
When would you be available to be assigned as a beta? I'm available immediately.
Are you familiar with any other fandoms (for possible crossover entries)? I'm very familiar with POTO and musical theater pieces. Beyond that, I am happy to read crossover fics, but can't offer them much beyond SPAG.
Other remarks (availability, notice needed, etc.): I will be out of the country and unavailable August 11-30 and November 3-8. I will have limited eMail access at these times; but I won't have the time to do work. I typically get pieces back within 1-4 days, depending on length. I am willing to work on pieces of any length; just let me know if you intend to write a novel so I don't take on too many. As far as details beyond that, eMail me and we can discuss specifics.
