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.

What kinds of feedback can you give or not give? (spelling, grammar, style, characterisation etc.) Pretty much anything
What kinds of fic (genres, characters, pairings) do you refuse to beta read? Nothing really
Anything else? Erm, I guess let me know if you're just looking for some typo-checking, or also want beta thoughts on structure/characterization/getting across what you intend. Both are dandy.

Date: 2014-09-02 01:08 am (UTC)How can you be contacted? theoldgods on tumblr, minebyrights on twitter, theoldgods on AO3, holmesianrhapsody at gmail dot com. Please don't reach out to me here on LJ--I can't guarantee I'll see it.
What kinds of feedback can you give or not give? (spelling, grammar, style, characterisation etc.) Spelling, grammar, and style for sure; characterization for most major characters, although I'm weak on previous generations and know nothing about any historical Targs/historical characters in general.
What kinds of fic (genres, characters, pairings) do you refuse to beta read? Fic involving my hard squicks (parent-child incest, watersports/bodily fluid play, body horror, tentacles)
Anything else? I'm a copyeditor IRL so I have experience with grammar and spelling et al for sure; I may or may not come off extra hard on that as a result, so please feel free to let me know how closely you want me to look at stuff/tell me if I'm coming off like way too much of a grammar nazi

Date: 2014-09-03 04:06 pm (UTC)How can you be contacted? tumblr (http://justoldlights.tumblr.com/)is the best way. We can exchange emails over there.
What kinds of feedback can you give or not give? Pretty much everything - I'm quite decent at style/spellchecking, and fairly strong on characterization and continuity issues like character's histories or in-universe trivia. Fair warning though, if given free reign I can be a bit of a grammar nazi, especially in regard to stuff like grammar (duh) style and characterization. Basically, do feel free to let me know how closely you want me to look at your stuff.
What kinds of fic (genres, characters, pairings) do you refuse to beta read? Anything goes!
Anything else? I feel like I should warn in advance that I have a bit of a crazy schedule, and it might take me a couple days to get back at you.

What kinds of feedback can you give or not give? Usual spelling/grammar/punctuation. In addition, notes on characterization and thematic arcs. If desired by the author, I'm happy to point 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 in theatre and 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!
