I might be interested in helping out on this.
Maximum rating: NC-17
Length of fic: 10,000 words or slightly more if more time given.
Time needed: probably 1 to 2 weeks but will vary depending on when during the week received.
Experience: Hard to answer I've betaed some for a couple of different people, been doing it for about 2 years off and on.
Strengths: Plot holes, sentence structure. Definitely not SPaG issues.

1.) There's a max for rating?: Up to NC17 and above
2.) Not a word above: Up to 6-8k. Maybe more. *I'll take anything* sky's the limit
3.) Time-wise: Depends. Pretty open right now. I can usually get it back to you in a couple of days -or even same day-at the most if it mid-length.
4.) Experience... with beta-ing: Good with SPaG, flow and canon. Can also characterization and plot holes, and if you want it, opinions. Let me know what you're looking for! Done a good number of jobs and helped out on the hd2o. (been stuck there a lot lately.)
5.) Contact me!!: rainingcitruspopcorn @ hotmail.com

Not sure if you're still looking, but if so...

1) Max rating you're willing to beta: NC-17
2) How long of a story you're willing to beta: <50k
3) How much time you need: prefer to have at least a weekend, but can do a day or two in a pinch, more time is appreciated for longer stories, of course.
4) Your experience and strengths: Have been reading fic for years, only beta'd a few times but have lots of non-fandom editing experience - lit mags, academic journals, YA novels, e-mails to crazy ex-boyfriends, etc. SPaG queen, sentence/paragraph structure, continuity, fact-checking, redundancy/verbosity. More comfortable with technical stuff than creative/content issues
