2017 Beta List  
As we prep for assignments to go out, there is one important thing to remember: More often than not, a writer needs a beta! If you'd like to offer your services as a beta, just copy-paste the stuff in the white box below, then answer the questions it poses in a comment to this post.

percy-persephone[personal profile] percygranger on August 24th, 2017 01:53 am (UTC)
AO3 Name: percygranger

E-Mail Address: percigranger AT gmail.com

Fandom(s): Loveless, Yuri!!! on Ice, Anne of Green Gables, Captive Prince, Hunger Games, Vorkosigan Saga, Avatar: The Last Airbender, DC Cinematic Universe, Harry Potter, Star Trek: Enterprise, Voyager, Alternate Original Series, Star Wars movies, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, MCU, Daredevil, Sense8, Stargate - All Series.
All to season 3: Sherlock BBC, White Collar, Teen Wolf.

Maximum Rating: MA/E, whatever

What You Will Not Read: child abuse, cheating, gore/loss of limbs, lots of bodily fluids

Anything Else: Willing to read for unfamiliar fandoms: totally.

I can do: spelling: solid, grammar: eh, and punctuation: I guess. I prefer the above as part of the overall beta, but not just those.
My strengths are in seeing the story arc as a whole; finding points where details don't match up or are missing/need filling in, and if I know the characters, I'm happy to give my opinion on their in-character-ness.

I'm a professional violinist, know about classical music/performance, I can sew, have participated in ren faires. I also knit, crochet, and spin fiber. I've done office work and childcare, as well as taught beginners at violin.

What You Will Not Read: Major character death, suicide, severe mental illness.

Maximum Rating: Explicit
What You Will Not Read: I will read anything; I do get bored by too much drama for the sake of drama and we might not be the best fit. Also, I don't mind reading porn/torture/suicidal thoughts/character death, but I would like to be warned beforehand.
Anything Else: For a thorough grammar beta you need to give me some time, if the sentence structure doesn't emulate Hemingway. I'm also free for plotting or brainstorming.
I will beta canons I do not know about, I may ask a bunch of weird questions though. You can contact me right until the deadline, but for anything longer than 1k I'll need at least 24 hours.

AO3 Name: triplesalto
E-Mail Address: triplesalto00@gmail.com
Fandom(s): Doctor Who, Austen, West Wing, Narnia
Maximum Rating: NC-17
What You Will Not Read: Torture, noncon, dubcon, injuries (beyond sprained ankle/headache level), grimdark, bodily fluids, unhappy endings. Aslan-is-a-jerk stories are fine.
Anything Else: I'm happy to read Classic Who stories for general beta, but I haven't watched any Classic beyond the first season of One, so if you need a canon-checker for that era I wouldn't be a good choice.

AO3 Name: [archiveofourown.org profile] ariestess
E-Mail Address: spottyseal @ gmail, [twitter.com profile] ariestess69, [tumblr.com profile] ariestess
Fandom(s): Babylon 5, Damien, The Fosters (2013), Grace and Frankie (TV), Once Upon a Time, Reba, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Swingtown, The Wicked Years Series - Gregory Maguire
Maximum Rating: NC17/E. Try to shock me.
What You Will Not Read: non-con/dub-con, gore, bodily fluid kink**, gratuitous violence, gratuitous angst for the sake of angst, child abuse, domestic abuse, body horror
Anything Else: I will read for unfamiliar fandoms for basic grammar/spelling/punctuation/flow. I am a stickler for commas and semi-colons. I will question anything that I feel breaks the flow of the story. I can be kind of a hardass in that respect. My usual turn around time for a fic of up to 5k is 24-48 hrs tops [depending on things like migraines], and extrapolate on longer fics based on the 5k=24-48 hrs formula.

** I can work with some levels of bloodplay kink, but that's the only one.

AO3 Name: annathecrow
E-Mail Address: ta.vrana.annathecrow =at= gmail.com
Fandom(s): Chronicles of Narnia, Les Mis, Pride and Prejudice, DCU, Marvel 616, MCU (movies), Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Mad Max: Fury Road, Legally Blonde, RED, Power Rangers (2017), Winter's Bone, The Bletchley Circle, Merlin, Warehouse 13
Maximum Rating: M
What You Will Not Read: hard No - deathfic, graphic descriptions of panic attacks, BDSM, vore, childbirth; soft No - body horror, death of secondary characters, graphic sex, most kinks, pregnancy. Generally, I am okay with fic that includes short scenes with sex/death/gore/etc for plot-relevant reasons, but I'm not a good fit for darkfic, smut etc.
Anything Else: I will happily beta for fandoms I don't know. I can do spelling and sentence structure checks, but I tend to focus on the character/plot level: why-does-this-happen, why-do-they-do-that, dialogue, setting, etc. Otherwise, I have a lot of obscure interests and I'm good at Google. I can't promise quick turnaround though, so probably no last-minute betaing two hours before deadline.
