HAVE YOU BETA'D BEFORE?: Absolutely!
HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE?: I've been a beta for two years now, and I currently have four recurring betalets, for which I've beta'd six stories and two Original Character Tournaments on DeviantArt. Three of these betalets live in different countries (UK, Australia, and Bulgaria), and two of them don't natively speak English (Spanish/Korean and Bulgarian), so I also have a lot of experience with helping and being patient with non-English speakers.
IN SP FANDOM? OR OTHERS?: Sadly, I do not have an official beta-let in the South Park fandom, though I have offered some touches of advice to a few writers every once in a while through reviews on FFN. My current beta-lets are in YuGiOh!, Sonic the Hedgehog, Invader Zim, and Shaman King.
CAN YOU PROVIDE A LINK TO AN EXAMPLE OF YOUR MOST RECENT WORK? Well, since none of my betalets are SP-fandom, I can't provide a helpful example of my beta-ing. I can, however, post a link to my most recent SP ( ... )

BASIC LINE-PROOFING: What beta doesn't?
SPELLING AND TYPOS: Absolutely. I am a spelling-Nazi like nobody's business. On top of my own super-honed spelling skills, I put everything through at least one spell-check machine, and will run through again if I have my doubts.
GRAMMATICAL CONSTRUCTION: A TRUE literary pro could probably argue at my...unconventional use of grammar, (I know my Advanced Comp. professor does), but for the most part, I do what I can to clean it up. I know my comma rules and whatnot, and I study languages enough to know my conjugations and subject-verb agreement and whatever else rules, blah-blah English speak.
PUNCTUATION: Punctuation is ALWAYS your friend, and I encourage all fanfiction writers to learn to get along with it. :)
CREATIVE COLLABORATION: I love collaboration. I mean, if I'm the one tearing your story to shreds, I should at least offer suggestions to make it better, right?
CHARACTERIZATION: If your characters aren't right, I will refuse to let this ( ... )

Have you Beta’d before? Yes.
How much experience do you have? Minimal with actual beta-reading, but I edit and proof professionally.
In SP Fandom? Others? Others. Pretty sure I've flaked on the SP stories I've said I'd beta. Not this time!
Can you provide a link to an example of your most recent work? Not that I’ve beta-read, but this is my most recent contribution to fandom: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4843916/7/The_Rectum_is_a_Tomb
What do you PREFER to read?
Genre: Any.
POV: Any, although I usually enjoy third-person limited, with or without subtle, well-integrated focus shifts.
Pairings: I love Stan/Kyle more than almost anything else on this planet, but I'll beta anything.
Gen, Het, Slash, Femslash, RarePairs? All good.
Rating/sex (upper limit): Doesn't matter.
Rating/violence (upper limit): Doesn't matter.

No Problem. That's my most recent written work. I'm assuming that's what you wanted, right? Also, is it cool if it's not from this fandom? This is my most recent work in the south park fandom (which is waaaaay more out of date than the one I posted like, two days ago)
