Squicks and Limitations (things you WON'T beta): Original character fic, Gwack
How well do you know your Torchwood canon?: Episodes -- fairly well and I am always willing to doublecheck an episode for accuracy; books -- none
Would you beta a fic that included secondary pairings outside of Jack/Ianto and/or a threesome?: I can do anything involving Suzie, Tosh, or Owen. Gwen, Rhys, Andy and the Doctor are not my forte.

Britpick?: Average for an American
Average turn-around time for a 1500 word fic: Due to work commitments, I have to ask for a week. Probably less, but I prefer to give an outside estimate.

Squicks and Limitations (things you WON'T beta): Rape/partner abuse, hardcore kink, pedophilia, Gwack-centric fic, Mary-Sue, explicit weevil/anybody.
How well do you know your Torchwood canon?: TV and radio eps extremely well (including a fair bit of Who!verse). Books, not so much.
Would you beta a fic that included secondary pairings outside of Jack/Ianto and/or a threesome?: Any of the main cast or recurring characters (e.g., Captain John, Rhys, Andy, etc.) Also, Ten. When it comes to threesomes, though, I've a very strong preference for slash and would prefer not to beta explicit het sex, if possible.
Strengths: Grammar and its related technicals, syntax, characterization and voices, canon knowledge, plot, flow, continuity, generally constructive criticism, line editing, preserving the author's voice, mine of useless information that can come in handy.
Britpick?: Strong. (I'm American, but grew up in England ( ... )
