Username: Shadow_Hole Email: cottica.elena@levi.edu.it How you would like to keep in touch with your writer? (emails, live chat etc.) emails work best from me, but I'm flexible Your timezone: CET (central European time)
What's your preferred format for documents? (Email & Word docs, Google Drive, something else?) All of these are fine with me, so it's up to the writer :) What are your strengths/specialties as a beta? (SPaG, characterization, plot/plot holes, flow, etc) I'm good at characterization, spelling, and grammar. I usually spot these mistakes easily while reading.
Weaknesses? I've never betaed before, which surely counts as a weakness. So I still need to learn. Squicks? (anything you WILL NOT beta) I don't have any triggers, so I am willing to work with anything. Preferred Ratings? any rating is fine, I don't have a preference Maximum word count? I'm not sure, depends on when I'll receive the document, but I'll probably be fine with any. Let's say no more than 200k JUST to be safe. Anything else we should know? I'm not a

What's your preferred format for documents? (Email & Word docs, Google Drive, something else?) I prefer google docs but back in the day I did beta work over c/p emails, and then via sending word docs via email so really I’m open What are your strengths/specialties as a beta? (SPaG, characterization, plot/plot holes, flow, etc) I can do any and all of the aforementioned services, I just need to know beforehand which you’re looking for so I know what I’m reading for. Heck, if you just want someone to bounce ideas off of, I can do that too! Weaknesses? I’m pretty new in this fandom so if you’re looking for someone who has been into Merlin for ages and knows every in-and-out there is, that’s not me. However, I have been in various fandoms

Thanks for signing up, nialler. With us now at rough drafts, I am sure there will be a bunch of writers who are looking for beta readers. So if we get requests, we normally send people to this post. :)

What's your preferred format for documents? I prefer to work in Google Drive, but I should be able to accommodate most other document formats if necessary. Just don't send me a .pdf! What are your strengths/specialties as a beta? I work as a writing tutor and have beta'd a lot over the past few years, so I have considerable experience in checking stories for SPaG, flow, characterisation and pacing. If you're looking for someone to give you honest feedback about what they think works and what doesn't (and why), then that would be me! I have a heavily annotative style and will usually provide a fair amount of commentary and reactions as I read, but I consider my notes to be suggestions only and all creative choices will ultimately be up to you. I'm also happy to brainstorm ideas with you if you get stuck or would just like someone to talk to about your story.
