Beta List  
Assignments have been sent, and that means it is time for the long creative stretch to begin, but, as always, this need not be a road you walk alone. There is always room for a beta, and that means it is time to put up a post where would-be betas can volunteer their services.

To join the beta list, copy-paste the following form, then fill it out.

AO3 Name: Triskaidekalogue
E-Mail Address: PM me on Dreamwidth or leave me a comment -- I can PM you my email if you'd prefer to continue corresponding over email :)

Fandom(s): A:tLA (show only), Discworld, Emelan, Firefly, FMA (manga and both shows), Harry Potter, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.

I can also do several that I'm not as secure in: ASoIaF (books only), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, BtVS (show only), Chihayafuru, Elementary, Gunnerkrigg, Hunger Games (books only), LoK (s1 and s3), Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (show only), Natsume Yuujinchou (show only), Orphan Black, Portal 1, Princess Tutu, Toby Daye, Tortall.

Maximum Rating: R?
What You Will Not Read: Gore/detailed eye squick.
Anything Else: I'm definitely up to proofread for mechanics and style/flow in any fandom.

Stuff I can't do: I am probably not the best choice to beta sexy scenes, because it's all rocket science to me. I've only ever lived in the US and Taiwan, so I can't Britpick or talk Japanese culture.

Stuff I can do: I can make grammaticality judgments in English and Mandarin, am academically fluent in Spanish, and might be able to check some Russian. General linguistic and anthropological principles are good to go. I can also speak from the standpoint of my personal individual experience as a Master's student in a social science, as a 1.5th-gen Taiwanese-American, as someone peripherally involved in competitive gaming, as a non-gendered person, etc.
