There’s four weeks left before the master list goes up for posting week! Everyone got their fic done? Completely outlined? A fully fleshed-out idea? *shifty eyes* Yeah, me, too. *g*
It was suggested that a beta sign-up post might make it easier for ficathon authors to find a beta for their fic. This is that beta sign-up post. *g*
If you are willing to beta, please copy and paste the following form (or something similar) into a comment to this post and fill it out. The more information you provide, the less likely you are to have someone ask you to beta a fic you wouldn’t be caught dead reading.
Please note that you need not have signed up for the ficathon to beta. The beta services of anyone who wishes to sign up are more than welcome.
Thank you!

What you are unwilling to read (pairings, squicks, etc): I can't do non-con/rape.
Any other info you think is relevant: Umm... I'm on a Mac using Word 2008 but I have a couple different text editors if needed.

What you are willing to read (pairings, favorite kinks, etc): I'll pretty much read anything.
What you are unwilling to read (pairings, squicks, etc): I'm not a huge fan of David/Don or Don/Charlie, but I'm willing to beta them.
Any other info you think is relevant: Depending on how long your fic is, it will take me two days to a week to beta (A week for a huge mama of a fic, two days for shorter ones. I like to go back and reread after a day, so even a drabble will take me two days.)

What you are willing to read (pairings, favorite kinks, etc): Really anything at all...
What you are unwilling to read (pairings, squicks, etc): ...except Mpreg (male pregnancy), Charlie/Larry fic (no offence, just don't interest me) and I don't mind s&m/D/s and kink at all but spanking!fic I don't read.
Any other info you think is relevant: I may take a couple (2 days at the most for a drabble, may be more for a fic) of days to Beta as I like reread a lot even after I Beta just to make sure.

What you are willing to read (pairings, favorite kinks, etc): Don/Charlie, David/Colby, Colby/Ian, Ian/Nikki, Ian/Coop, Larry/Megan, any femmeslash pairing.
What you are unwilling to read (pairings, squicks, etc): Charlie/Other, Don/Other, really dark!fic with rape a/o non-con, death!fic, heavy BDsM.
Any other info you think is relevant: Long time beta for Supernatural fandom, professional editor by trade. Basically, editing is often my life. =D I will beta for plot holes, characterization, and SPaG -- most other things, but ask specifically. I can edit anything under 10k in a 24 hour period but more than that, and I'll definitely need more time.

What you are willing to read (pairings, favorite kinks, etc): Almost anything
What you are unwilling to read (pairings, squicks, etc): I do not do miscarriage but can handle the aftermath. No male pregnancy either.
Any other info you think is relevant: I am a beta editor in several fandoms [Magnificent 7, Numb3rs, Lord of the Rings] and willing to look at other fandoms. I am an amateur proofreader trained by a professional and a researcher as well. I aim for 24 hour around with longer pieces taking longer.
