[sugarpromises]

Hi again! As the sign-ups are coming to a close, I'm putting up a post for beta volunteers. If you are willing to be a beta, please comment here with your e-mail address and beta preferences/restrictions. Also, like last year, you do not have to be participating in the exchange to put out your beta services. This list will be updated as people

Strengths: grammar, spelling/punctuation, characterization, plot, word choice. I've betaed a fairly wide variety of types and lengths of fic.
No-can-Dos: I'd really rather not do any Mulder/Other or Scully/Other, or slash. Other than that, no PWP, and I'd prefer no historical AUs or pre-series.

Strengths: The general writing stuff - spelling, grammar, execution. I can do pr0n. I love any kind of plausible-AU. All lengths are fine, though I would appreciate any epics in the works in manageable chunks.
No-can-Dos: I'll be useless at beta-ing manslash of an NC-17 nature. I don't have a super detailled knowledge of canon(newcomer to fandom) and I haven't seen all of Season 8 or any of Season 9 (yet - summer project). If you're a huge romantic I'm probably not the best beta for you: I tend to be a cynic when it comes to characterisation.
Other: I'm in Australia, so the time zone thing might be worth mentioning.

Strengths: General grammar, structure, dialogue, characterisation, etc. Most stuff, really. I am also likely to nitpick on cadence and rhythm but you can tell me to shut up if you like.
No-can-dos: No non-con or character death, and nothing set after S7. I will probably not be much help with porn or anything focused on characters who are not Mulder, Scully or the Lone Gunmen. I'm British so I can't really help with 'Americanising' your fic either.
