Length of the fics you'd beta: Anything longer than a drabble and shorter than a novel.
Any other info: My areas of strength and my squicks are probably apparent from the answers above, as are my fandom involvements. In Lost fandom, I've done beta work for elliotsmelliot and zelda_zee, as well as for zelda_zee during my brief foray into SPN-land. In XF fandom, I sometimes hang around xf_book_club. If you want more of an idea of my approach to fandom and fic writing, I do have some entries under the recs tag and under the meta tag at my LJ, as well as fandom-related reflections in response to a few memes.
In terms of practical matters and scheduling, I'm a graduate student, so there will be times when the academic schedule will mean slow turnaround on beta work. Whenever that's the case, I can give prospective beta-ees (?) a heads-up so that they can look elsewhere if necessary.
