List of Winn Beta's
Alright guys! Here's the beta list!
These people are willing to beta (at least) any Winn stories that you all have. So please feel free to browse and use this till your heart's content.
Remember there are three categories! Content, Grammar, and Both.
Both
Username/Name: dark_dreymer / David
Content/Grammar/Both: Both
Highest Rating: NC-17/FRAO. So basically, no limit *starts mumbling 2 Unlimited under his breath*
Fic Types You'll Do: Any
Fic Types You Won't: None
Kink(?): Yes
If Yes then what type: I'm pretty easy for anything. There's some kinks I'm more familiar with, but I'll hit the kink_wiki and research if there's one I'm not as knowledgeable about
Any Squicks? Just any bathroom stuff
Anything else? I have two beta functions. The first is that I just proof-read for grammar, spelling and punctuation errors; correct them as I find them and send an editted version back to you. My second is to highlight any problems, make notes with suggestions for what could change, what is/isn't working and send you back a copy of that; so that you can argue your point across if you don't agree with any of my criticisms and learn about recurring mistakes so you can try to avoid them in the future. I personally prefer the second method as I think it makes for better fic and helps you grow as a writer; however if you want to take the first option that's fine too. Just make it clear when you contact me which you'd prefer.
Best Way of Contact: Carrier pigeon.
Failing that, you can try my e-mail: davidjohnarnold@hotmail.com

If Yes then what type:

Username/Name: darkwords_ifind
Content/Grammar/Both: Both, but more content
Highest Rating: Any
Fic Types You'll Do: Any
Fic Types You Won't: None
Kink(?): Sure
If Yes then what type: Any, besides scat stuff
Any Squicks? I REFUSE MPREG! It's a sin against nature. And bathroom stuff :/
Anything else? I've found that google docs is amazing for editing documents. And work overnight and have a toddler, so I may not be able to give your fic all of my attention all the time. But I'll do my very best and I won't disappoint you.
Best Way of Contact: PM here and we can exchange emails.
Content
Username/Name: hopenight/Bec
Content/Grammar/Both: Content
Highest Rating: R
Fic Types You'll Do: just about anything really but especially AU's
Fic Types You Won't: Heavy, heavy BDSM type stuff and some het
Kink(?): Yes
If Yes then what type: anything can be made into a kink so really just about anything
Any Squicks? Bathroom stuff and really heavy BDSM. And anything with whips.
Anything else? I'm here to make sure that your story's flow and characterisation is done well. Also I focus on tense voice and jumping around during the plot. I can also be a sounding board. I want to hear your ideas. I would love to actually.
Best Way of Contact: PM me and if we mesh then we can start the whole email thing
Grammar
Username/Name: cant_hold_you/Caitlin
Content/Grammar/Both: Both if I'm asked by the writer, grammar mostly.
Highest rating: NC-17
Fic Types You'll Do: Any really
Fic Types You Won't: Major horror/ Mary-Sue
Kink?: Yes
If Yes then what type: Any type really, I'm an adventurous :)
Any Squicks?: Bathroom and feet-fetish
Anything else?: I'm a beta on fanfiction. I have a writer but I just go right through it, so more than one writer is fine. My max is four (if one only does one-shots). I'm good with any story length. Bring it on!!!
Best Way Of Contact: You can send me a message via livejournal message. I check my email like eight times a day. ;)
Username/Name: charlie_butler / Charlie
Content/Grammar/Both: Grammar (I'd do Content also, but I have a tendency to either completely ignore canon or bleed my fanon imaginings into the characterisations.)
Highest Rating: Pshaw! I have no limits. Bring it on.
Fic Types You'll Do: I really don't discriminate much.
Fic Types You Won't: Nothing comes to mind.
Kink(?): Yes, please. lol I have nothing against it.
If Yes then what type: I'm, shamefully, pretty well versed when it comes to the more common kinks, and anything I don't know I'll happily research. What?! I'm just a naturally curious pervert!! lol
Any Squicks? I had boundaries at one point, I'm sure. Now? Not much puts me off. I'm a sick, sick boy. ;)
Anything else? I should probably have put this under 'Squicks,' but I won't let a little squickage get between me and the job, so I thought this was a bit more appropriate. I'm not especially fond of scat or really hopeless (super-duper-sucky-ending-sucky-life-sucky-emotional-angsty) situations. I find it odd that I consider those to be my only two true squicks, something is terribly wrong with me.
Best Way of Contact: Either here on lj or at charliegbutler@gmail.com.

Highest Rating: NC-17

Kink(?): Yes
If Yes then what type:
Any Squicks? bathroom stuff
Anything else? I am an avid reader, but have never beta'ed before. I want to do my part for the Winnners site though, so here I am. (I should really be doing the grammar/spelling for some of the other Glee communities - some of those fics can be painful to read.)
