2015 Beta Sign Ups

[http://users.livejournal.com/traycer_/]

Most people will already have their own beta reader, but hey, maybe they want to try someone new. A beta reader is a person who reads another person's written work with a critical eye, with the aim of improving grammar, spelling, characterization, and general style of a story before the author posts it up. All participants must get their fiction beta’d by at least one person.

Preferred Fandoms/Pairings: I have no preferences
Is there any type of fiction you would prefer to avoid beta'ing? fic involving gratuitous child/animal abuse, or incestuous pairings
What are your strengths as a beta reader? SPaG, style, readability
What kind of turn around time can someone expect from you? Depends on the size of the work, but for a BB, a week to ten days, probably - I can beta in batches if the work isn't finished.
