Beta Volunteer Submission

[lezzerlee]

We have our first volunteer!

Please say hello to Kate!

I am Kate, kate2kat on tumblr, kate_the_reader on AO3, anyone who wants to get in touch could send tumblr fanmail.
I can beta fic
Will beta Arthur/Eames
Will beta any rating
I will do long fic (but I do have a job!)
Couple of hours per 2000 words ( I don’t know, I’ve never done it, but I am a senior newspaper copy editor who is used to reading many thousands of words in a work shift )
Love romance, don’t mind tricky plots BUT I am not soaked in canon! I’ve read a fair bit of Inception fic, though. Bring on the AUs
Used to reading for grammar and clarity
I may be more able than an American reader to pick up British nuance (I’m South African and travel frequently in the UK).
Not very up on film canon.
