Your name? CommaSplice (AO3)
How can you be contacted? oxfordsplice @ yahoo .com
What kinds of feedback can you give or not give? (spelling, grammar, style, characterisation etc.) spelling, grammar, style, characterization (but I’m very weak on the pre-series stuff).
What kinds of fic (genres, characters, pairings) do you refuse to beta read? – no Thramsay, no torture, nothing that involves Ramsay Bolton unless he’s a background/minor character, no Greyjoys (unless it’s Asha).
Anything else? - Like most of us, I am much better finding typos on other people’s fic than I am on my own.

Your name? - Celia (crossingwinter)
How can you be contacted? - email: crostow@gmail.com
What kinds of feedback can you give or not give? (spelling, grammar, style, characterisation etc.) Anything. Grammar/spelling to plot development to narrative structure to anything. I like Beta-ing and can be what you want me to be, so long as you're clear on what that is yourself!
What kinds of fic (genres, characters, pairings) do you refuse to beta read? I'm not great with Tyrells and Martells. Less good with full on Greyjoy dynamics. I prefer doing stuff with Modern AUs but that's not required.
Anything else? Not that I can think of!

Your name? Sarah
How can you be contacted? succinctity at gmail.com
What kinds of feedback can you give or not give? I'm best with grammar and mechanics and have loads of experience reading for technical errors and structural/logical issues (four years tutoring in my university's Writing Center, three semesters teaching second-level Freshman Composition, nonfiction book editing experience, etc., etc.). I'm most comfortable with characterization of Northerners, but can likely spot any major inconsistencies with canon events or characterization if you need a content beta read. I have not read the prequels and know nothing about the historical Targaryens, so I'll be no help there.
What kinds of fic (genres, characters, pairings) do you refuse to beta read? I won't read anything that contains rape, graphic torture, or sexualized violence.
Anything else? I use Word's Track Changes and Comment features to beta/edit. If you need or prefer a different method, please let me know. Also, while my schedule is fairly open right now because the semester has just ended, I may be working by the time the due date rolls around, so please give me a day or two before deadline for short fics and longer than that if you've written an epic. ;)

Your name? Vana
How can you be contacted? holykenagy@gmail.com
What kinds of feedback can you give or not give? Spelling/grammar/usage. Not good with characterization because I like all kinds of AUs and I'm not as strong on things like plot holes. But if you feel solid on your plot/characters and just need a straight-up proofreader — if you don't trust your commas or your grasp of the vagaries of English — I can help!
What kinds of fic (genres, characters, pairings) do you refuse to beta read? I'll read whatever!

Your name? Praxyn

How can you be contacted? praxyn@gmail.com

What kinds of feedback can you give or not give? Usual spelling/grammar/punctuation. In addition, notes on characterization and thematic arcs. I've no issues, if desired by the author, pointing out where plot/structure/etc. appears weak or awkward.

What kinds of fic (genres, characters, pairings) do you refuse to beta read? N/A

Anything else? I'm very detail oriented. I've a background in creative writing and character studies for theatre/film, including dramaturgy and stage combat. So if anyone needs help with historical research particularly where it concerns weapons/tactics/etc. I've got it sussed!
