Universes accepted: Nolanverse (am acquring knowledge of DC, DCAU, and the animated series, but slowly. Was a big fan of the Burtonverse when it first came out but have gotten rusty.)

Ratings accepted: All.

Characters accepted: Any canon Nolanverse characters are fine by me, but I'm a big fan of Two-Face/Harvey, Joker, Alfred, Scarecrow/Crane, Lucius, and well-written Rachel.

Pairings accepted: Particularly partial to Joker/Two-Face, Alfred/Lucius, dubcon Joker/Batman, and Joker/Scarecrow, but just about anything is fine.

Genres accepted: Slash = love. Het is ok. Gen is ok.

Fic Lengths accepted: Anything that is actually finished. No WIPs please. I'm happy to talk plot with someone who's working on a fic and give feedback on outlines, but don't want to actually formally beta anything that isn't done.

WILL NOT READ: No OOC stuff. No Mary-Sues/obvious self-inserts. No snuff or overly nasty rapefic (I like dubcon, but really nasty rape-for-its-own-sake fic? No thank you). No racist/homophobic/intolerant stuff unless it's necessary to the story somehow.

What can you/would you like to be helpful about?: Spelling, grammar, characterization, plot: oh my yes. Canon knowledge: yes, for Nolanverse.

How detailed are you in your critiques?: Pretty detailed. I usually use the "track comments" feature in Open Office / Word and make grammar/spelling corrections, and add comments in brackets (thinks like: [ok, maybe it's just me, but I'd say it this way: blahblahblah.] or [HAH, I can totally see this! Win.]). I always include positive reactions I have during reading as well as things I think don't work so well.
