Beta readers for round five

If you're willing to beta read for other writers in the exchange, please fill in the little form down there.

Dear writers, I strongly suggest that you have someone beta your fic, unless you have absolute confidence in your ability to catch all your typos and mistakes on your own.


Beta sign-up:

Your name?
How can you be contacted?
What kinds of feedback can you give?
(spelling, grammar, style, characterisation etc.)
Are there any fics (genres, characters, pairings) you refuse to beta read?
Anything else?

Your name? kynical
How can you be contacted? thehappyheratic@yahoo.com
What kinds of feedback can you give? (spelling, grammar, style, characterisation etc.) All.
Are there any fics (genres, characters, pairings) you refuse to beta read? Nope.
Anything else?

I've got quick turn-around time so if you need a last-minute beta it won't be a problem.

Your name? Vanzetti
How can you be contacted? by email (vaznetti @ gmail . com) or pm on LJ or DW.
What kinds of feedback can you give? (spelling, grammar, style, characterisation etc.) I can do grammar, style, characterisation, general plotting, scene blocking, the works. The only think I'm bad at is distinguishing British and American spelling and idiom -- I go back and forth myself too often.
Are there any fics (genres, characters, pairings) you refuse to beta read? Nope. I can usually separate "this doesn't work" from "this isn't my cup of tea."
Anything else? I like the author to let me know what they want from me, to avoid too much stress on all sides; I came into fandom when machete beta was pretty common, but that can be scary for people.

Your name? Tasha
How can you be contacted? canyouseemyspark@gmail.com or through PM!
What kinds of feedback can you give? (spelling, grammar, style, characterisation etc.) Whatever the author needs!
Are there any fics (genres, characters, pairings) you refuse to beta read? Nope! I read all kinds of fic and I'm very open to all genres and characters.
Anything else? I read quickly so I would be able to get it back to the author fairly fast. Also, I don't mind reading work multiple times if the author wants to fiddle around with it after they get my notes.
