Betas!

[chocolateboxmod]

One of the more valuable services people can offer is betaing: that is, looking over someone's work and suggesting ways to make it better than it already is!

Fandoms you can beta: Divine Cities, Watchmaker of Filigree Street, Heroes of Olympus, Dublin Murder Squad, Halt and Catch Fire, any Shakespeare, Borgias, The Eagle, WTNV (I am not caught up but don't care about spoilers), Code Name Verity, Hamilton, Benjamin January (have only read through #6 but don't care about spoilers), Game of Thrones/ASOIAF, Rivers of London, Robin Hobb, Old Kingdom, Neko Atsume, Raven Cycle (ask), Goblin Emperor, LotR (ask)
Fanfic or Fanart or both?:Fanfic; I can give general comments on fanart, but I'm not an artist, only an art appreciator, so my comments are likely to be more on what I like and what strikes me as off, without suggestions on how to fix it.
Can you do SPAG betaing?: Yes, for fandoms listed above (including flow and story structure); Maybe, for shorter stories in any fandom, or original works: contact me.
What things can't you beta?: No content restrictions, though please ask for indicated fandoms and give characters/pairings and length.
Anything else? (Turnaround, periods you're not available etc.): I will be out of town from Jan 27-Feb 1. I will have email, but my actual beta-ing time will be limited particularly on Jan 30-Feb 1.

What things can't you beta?: Nothing I can think of!
Anything else? (Turnaround, periods you're not available etc.): Sometimes life gets busy, so advance notice is awesome. For turnaround time, probably about 2 days, although that can vary depending on work, so just ask and I can tell you what I can do!

[highsmith]

Hi. I'm compiling a GoogleDocs spreadsheet of all the beta offers.

Did you mean all Star Wars films, including The Force Awakens?

Did you mean the books, the movies or both for Divergent and Hunger Games?

Let me know ASAP, please.

[flipflop_diva]

Yup, all Star Wars films. And both books and movies for the other two.

[highsmith]

Got it. Cheers! :D

Fanfic or Fanart or both?: Fic
Can you do SPAG betaing?: Yes, I'll also usually have structural/word choice comments even if I don't know the fandom
What things can't you beta?: Dubcon/noncon, extremely graphic violence/torture, explicit sex (I can do the rest of the story, but I mostly skip those bits)
Anything else? (Turnaround, periods you're not available etc.): I am currently (early Jan) in the middle of a move. That should be pretty done by late Jan/early Feb and I should (fingers crossed) have internet nearly-continuous throughout. Turnaround is usually pretty fast - say 48 hours, tops. If I can't, I'll let you know within that time, unless my internet is more problematic than I expect.

Fandoms you can beta: If purely SPAG, anything. For canon-related stuff: Discworld, Ace Attorney, The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes (ACD), I can help with original work as well.
Fanfic or Fanart or both?: Fanfic. I can help with graphics as well, for which I use GIMP.
Can you do SPAG betaing?: Yep, and can also help with Britishisms. For fics with Americanisms, I'll do my best, but if something confuses me, I'll probably leave it alone so I might miss things out.
What things can't you beta?: Anything that requires an archive warning on ao3, anything rated E.
Anything else?: My availability is very tentative 16th-24th January, but otherwise, I should be able to do ~500 words every 24 hours at the very least. If you're doing a graphic, I'd probably work best if you gave me a .xcf file.

http://meatball42.livejournal.com/8879.html
Fanfic or Fanart or both?: Fic
Can you do SPAG betaing?: Literally you can't stop me
What things can't you beta?: Torture or rape without H/C, horror incl. psychological torture
Anything else? (Turnaround, periods you're not available etc.): Warning, I have one speed in beta'ing and it is full throttle. If it's a fandom I know you will get SPaG, sentence fluency, characterization, word choice, I'm a nitpicker and can't turn it off. Because of this, I ask that you not send me long stories with lots of grammar errors, because I will end up growling at the computer. Long fic for character beta, short fic for SPaG, gracias.
