~*~*~*~*~*~
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 willing to beta anything, but the few things listed on the next line. I can deal with fringe pairings, any rating, most genres.
Not willing to beta (pairings, ratings, genres, squicks...): There are 3 large pairings I would prefer not to beta: ss/hg, ss/sb and ss/hp. Apart from these I'm happy to deal with anything up to and including ss/goat :D. I'm not crazy about completely dark/non-con/death/torture-y fics or adultery fics, but can certainly pinch-hit if necessary.
Specialties (SPAG, canon, characterization, constructive criticism, britpicking, art, other…): I edit all the time, so I'm good with most of these -- except perhaps the britpicking (I can do a general britpick, but nothing too nuanced). I'm also acquainted with multiple cultural contexts, so I could perhaps help in such aspects as well. Finally, I love research - so if there's something I don't know within the fic, I will probably double- and triple-check it. ;)
How many authors/artists are you willing to beta? I'm willing to beta around 50k words, or 2 authors.
When would you be available to be assigned as a beta? Anytime. Of course my schedule isn't set in stone, but there are ways to work around such things.
Are you familiar with any other fandoms (for possible crossover entries)? Umm yes, a few anime fandoms and a few media/book fandoms. Should I list all these? Ask and we can see... ;)
Other remarks (availability, notice needed, etc.): I'll be happy to beta a long fic or two, but I'll need about a week, week and a half turn-around time (I like to be thorough).
