One of the funnest parts of Yuletide can be getting matched on that one fandom you love that none of your friends are familiar with, so you might find yourself in need of a different beta than usual ( Read more... )

I'll canon-beta for any of these series: Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Lamb, Dead Like Me, Chrestomanci, Feline Wizards, Young Wizards, Hercules (1997), The Incredibles, Dexter (book), Animorphs, Mulan, Nick and Norah, Outlaw Star, Perry Moore - Hero, Discworld, Trigun, Venture Brothers, or Victorian Romance Emma.

I'd also be happy to spelling/grammar beta for any fandom as long as the story doesn't involve explicit m/m sex. I beta-ed for someone last year and found it was an enjoyable experience.

Fandoms: Comics in general (mostly DC, some Marvel, some "other"), some science fiction books, literary detective fandoms, some literary fandoms, a few webcomics, a bunch of the classic science fiction series (glaring gaps: Doctor Who, BSG, Farscape, Supernatural), random movies (mostly action/science fiction/mysteries). I can't give any guarantees, but don't hesitate to ask me about your specific fandom. Keep in mind, though, that I might have to take a refresher course on the canon before being able to beta, so contact me with time.

Howdy all! I'll proofread anything and I can offer in some general categories -- DC comics, pretty much any mythology including Arthurian and Judeo-Christian, any Shakespeare (particularly the history plays), Sherlock Holmes and Holmes-related fanon like the Mary Russell series and A Study in Emerald, and a lot of assorted sci-fi and fantasy books and movies. Feel free to ask about your specific fandom though I make no promises about knowing it.

I'll fandom-specific beta anything Sherlock Holmes, LOTR or John Ringo's Looking Glass series (except for the physics-speak).

I'll technical-beta about anything but RPF. (Just too squicky.)

That said, I beta (and occasionally alpha) read for a local professional author and I write legal documents in my job. Copy-editing is my life. :-)
