LJ username: arwen75 What sources do you have experience in? (The Hobbit, LotR, the Silm, etc.) No experience as such as I haven't written in LOTR universe (except for role-play stuff in LOTR Online MMO & earlier table-top RPG) but have read all and am generally known as a lore buff :D Are there time periods or races that you have more knowledge of? Probably better with late Third to early fourth Age, but can tackle anything. Also have good knowledge of elves as that is what I have generally played in role-play so done a lot of reading about them. Picked up stuff about all races though in helping others out with backgrounds and the like. Briefly describe your strong points as a beta: I am pretty experienced in doing general English correction - admittedly in engineering & technical documents (university lecturer in electronic engineering by day) but they still need to flow properly and make sense. Got a lot of experience in dealing with non-native English speakers writing English and can be very picky about English that doesn't read correctly. I read quickly so can get stuff turned around pretty promptly although that can be a little RL dependent. Happy to be used as someone to brainstorm with.
Hello Arwen! You've been assigned LadyGreySun as the author you will beta. She does not have an LJ account at present, so if you will please email me at aelfwina at gmail dot com, I will send you her contact information.
