What are your preferred pairings?
I'll read them all.
Which pairings do you not want to read?
N/A
What type of fics are you interested in betaing?
Anything that is not listed below. I really like AUs and angst, though.
Are there any elements you are uncomfortable reading (kinks, triggers, etc.)?
I don't like to read MPREG, BDSM, death fics, or anything involving watersports/scat.
What are your beta strengths?
I have some beta experience under my belt. I also majored in English and took a few linguistic classes along with my lit. and writing ones, so I have plenty of experience with editing essays and short stories from that. I'm good with grammar and sentence structure/flow, but I'm best at spotting plot holes, characterization issues, and pacing. That's just on the technical side, though. I'm also very supportive, so if you need a cheerleader and someone to lend an understanding ear, I'll be there for that too.

What are your preferred pairings?
Harvey/Mike I suppose but I'm fine with pretty much any pairing. Well, except for... (see next question)
Which pairings do you not want to read?
Louis/pretty much anyone on the show. Don't mind Louis/OC though.
What type of fics are you interested in betaing?
I'm up for anything really.
Are there any elements you are uncomfortable reading (kinks, triggers, etc.)?
Graphic violence or non-con. MPREG, waterports/scat, and humiliation kink all squick me a little.
What are your beta strengths?
Grammar, spelling, and plot coherency. Also, if you just need someone to talk the story out with, I'm always happy to help out.
What are your beta weaknesses?
If you want someone to check your legal jargon I'm not going to be much help. Though I'll be happy to help you do some research if needed.
Are there any lengthy periods of time during the challenge when you will not be available?
None that I am aware of.

Which pairings do you not want to read? None.

What are your beta strengths? I am a law school grad so I'm good at helping create a realistic background.
What are your beta weaknesses? I'm Canadian - is that a weakness? In any case, I tend to use British spellings, but I am fairly good at catching myself doing it.
Are there any lengthy periods of time during the challenge when you will not be available? Nope

What are your preferred pairings?
Harvey/Mike is for extreme fangirling, but all are welcome.
Which pairings do you not want to read?
Harvey/Jessica. Louis/anyone is not preferred, but as a side-plot, I'm alright with it.
What type of fics are you interested in betaing?
I really go crazy for AU, H/C, and dark/angst fics, but, again, all are welcome.
Are there any elements you are uncomfortable reading (kinks, triggers, etc.)?
Watersports/scat only. MPreg isn't preferred, but is welcome.
What are your beta strengths?
I constantly correct grammar, spelling, sentence fluency/coherency, and many other technical language faults. I can easily find plot/loop holes and I have a fair grasp of legal-lawyer jargon. If you have a plot hole, need a filler or twist, I'm perfectly happy to contribute ideas to help you get going; I'm very useful for cheerleading! I can stop incorrect accents (in sentence structure), as well.

What are your preferred pairings?
Harvey/Mike is probably where I'll be most helpful
Which pairings do you not want to read?
I'm not good with het pairings.
What type of fics are you interested in betaing?
Angst, love triangles, slash, smut (oh, yes, smut), canon, UST, pretty much anything except the stuff below.
Are there any elements you are uncomfortable reading (kinks, triggers, etc.)?
No AU or Mpreg. But other than that, kinks don't make me squirm.
What are your beta strengths?
Grammar, flow, and pacing are my strongest suits. I also have an affinity for characterization.
And, since this is a lawyer show, I'm also very dedicated to getting things right as far as legal gorgon is concerned; which really just means I'm a good researcher.
What are your beta weaknesses?I'm very picky about the use of colons, quotation marks, and italics. Have been known to change incorrect usage to fit English grammar standards ( ... )
