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.

Is there any type of fiction you would prefer to avoid beta'ing? Cool with anything.
What are your strengths as a beta reader? Spelling/grammar, characterization, overall story structure
What kind of turn around time can someone expect from you? It depends on how long the story is - for a 10k story, a couple to four-ish days, a full big bang fic - a week or two.
