Other Info: work/school/life/my own writing permitting. I'm a girl of the New Who/Torchwood school, with just a touch of Old Who and SJA knowledge. I tend to edit as I read/beta, although the English isn't perfect.

Name: bandgeek01
E-mail: PM on LJ for e-mail
Other Info: Can offer some basic betaing if need be, good at seeing if things make sense, catches some grammar issues, but I'm so used to dumbing down writing for a healthcare field that I forget the basics of good grammar.
Name: jackdavfan692
E-mail: PM on LJ for e-mail
Other Info: Happy to beta for anyone who's interested :) . My focus would mostly be on grammar and the like, but my Torchwood knowledge is also pretty complete. Not an expert by any means, but have the basics (e.g. able to point out any issues with chronology of events, and will likely point it out if something seems too OOC for the character in question) :). Critique-wise, not very harsh, so no need to worry about that :].
Name: andromeda05
E-mail: PM on LJ
Other Info: English Major...need I say more
Name: alinoradesancto
E-mail: either PM on LJ or alinoradesancto@hotmail.com
Other Info: Both get checked everyday..(unless something happens in RL).. umm...I wouldn't call myself a grammar nazi, but I can do spelling (be patient - it'd be Australian spelling from me! But with that, I check it against US/UK spelling too sometimes.), general suggestions etc etc. I've beta'd before. But not in the fandom, actually. That's odd.. If you want me to be a beta, tell me firstly how long the piece is and when you need it done by. :)
Name:
ice_elf
E-mail: sara_fletcher@hotmail.com
Other Info: I'm good with spelling and grammar. I'm pretty knowledgable on new who and Torchwood, with a tiny amount of SJA. There's pretty much nothing that squicks me out. If you are sending me something let me know how soon you'd like it back, I'm normally good at getting it back to you the same/next day but there are exceptions.
Name:
iantos_first
E-mail: PM on LJ
Other Info: Well, I haven't beta'd before, but I read A LOT and am generally good with spelling and basic grammar. I know the basics of the classic Dr Who series, have a good grasp of the new Dr Who (oh, how I wish I meant that literally) and am a Torchwood fanatic.
Name: faithharkness
E-mail: melisajury@msn.com
Other Info: I'm only available online from 7:30am-4:00pm PST, but if you e-mail me in those hours, I take your work home on a flash drive and work on it there, so the actual betaing is available 24/7. I'm a nut for grammar and punctuation, which are my strongest suits. But if you tell me you want tone, continuity and general storyline suggestions/help, I'm more than willing to do that as well. I also know my Torchwood rather well and well I have met a kink that didn't turn me on, I'll read anything at least once and have a very high tolerance for squick.
Name: sevendayloan
E-mail: ideophobia@gmail.com
Other Info: I love Torchwood and Doctor Who, and while I don't write all that many fics myself, I've done more than my fair share of editing. I've watched every episode of TW and new!Who, as well as a fair bit of classic Who, so I feel pretty confident about my grasp on basic cannon. English is my first language, and I have always been a stickler for spelling and grammar. Also, I have a... thing about flow and will probably read your fic out loud two or three hundred times to hear how it sounds. Just letting you know upfront. ;P I will read anything, and I mean anything. Any pairing, any category. you can pretty much contact me at any time. :)
Name: hezmanagirl
E-mail: hezmanagirl@yahoo.com
Other Info: I'm happy to volunteer to be a second set of eyes on a fic. I am good at thumping/sharing plot-bunnies. I'm a geeky researcher with a good knowledge of TW, New and Old Who, SJA and most sci-fi. Most of my friends and family live in the U.K. so I can be of help with Brit-picking. If it's a babyfic/mpreg you're working on I am the mother of two and can answer questions in that area also. I work overnights so I'm not always available during the day but I do answer emails promptly.
Name: quaintheart
E-mail: PM on LJ or carrie_rocks@hotmail.com (include beta or Torchwood in the Subject line)
Other Stuff: I am well rounded in both seasons of Torchwood, as well as Doctor Who (dr. 9 & 10). I have seen most episodes at least four or five times. I know general themes as well as characters, episodes and time lines. I know a bit about previous Doctors, SJA and science fiction in general. I am a bit of a geek girl. I read all day and most of the night. I feel comfortable just fleshing out ideas, giving prompts or constructive critique. I am understanding of new writers and would make an excellent cheer leader! Give a time line of what you are looking for.
- Willing to correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation
- Dislike of text talk (ur, 2b, ect)
- I know nothing about LJ layouts or data entry
- I live in Montreal Canada (so north america time zones) but am online at odd times.
- Born in the UK, so I should be able to Brit-speak.
- No problems with cross overs, I will let you know if I have never seen the other show :)
- No issues with all ratings

I have seen some Doctor Who, mainly episodes with Captain Jack.
