I will beta any content - though please let me know about potentially-disturbing content before I read the story. Microsoft Word or Google Docs preferred, but I can handle some other formats. If you just want light SPAG I will be faster, but for usual beta jobs I take at least 1 day per 1k. You are very welcome to contact me at morbane@gmail.com.

• For any of the above fandoms, if you want somebody to beta your outline or double-check your ideas for canon compliance before you get to the actually-writing stage, I can do that; also of course regular betaing of a completed draft.
  
• I can also check SPAG for any fandom, including those I'm unfamiliar with if you can't find anybody offering them. I use American spelling but am comfortable with British spelling. I love grammar. :-)
  
• I can beta both fic and meta, and although I've never betaed art I would definitely be willing to take a crack at it.
  
• I will not beta sex scenes or anything R-rated or above. I won't beta some PG-13 content; if your story has that rating please give me more info & I'll decide on a case-by-case basis. All in all I'm more of a gen writer so if the story is romance-centric I'm probably not your best bet.
  
• I prefer Google Docs, but other options may be possible if that doesn't work for you.

Type of Beta:
SPaG, continuity, canon compliancy, flow, tone
I'm also available for brainstorming, and/or revising outlines.
My weakness is commas, as in: I like to put in more than entirely necessary.
Other Things:
For stories over 5k I'm going to need a few days, and if you don't get an answer to your request within 24hours, I didn't get your email. While I can beta explicit stuff, I would like to be warned beforehand for things like extreme violence, psychological terror, suicide.
