| | Preferred Ships: HG/SS, but I'm willing to beta for any | | Notes: I enjoy helping other make their writing better. Some of my comments may come across as harsh, but I always have the author's best interests at heart. I make a lot of margin comments and make grammatical corrections inside brackets within the text. But I'm flexible if you have a preferred way of editing. I mostly enjoy a comprehensive edit, but will do only grammatical corrections if requested.
I'm great at plot development, word pictures (using words to create a picture in the reader's mind), being a sounding board for writer's block. I'm also a great cheerleader =)
My weakness is commas. If this is also your weakness, I suggest choosing another beta or have a beta simply for comma placement overview. Also, I'm not a Brit. I still have no idea what exactly a kipper is.
Alas, I love Severus and Hermione. They are my favorite ship. But I am not opposed to other ships. I'm fairly open about what I beta. See below for my restrictions.
I will not beta anything containing male pregnancy, anything that GLORIFIES child abuse/rape, or any story that contains slash as the featured ship. I am not opposed to having slash within a story, I just don't want it being the main point of the story, nor do I want to read lemons on it. |

| | Preferred Ships: I prefer SS/HG, but I'm good with anything. (Will also beta non-HP stories.) | | Notes: I don't buy into fluffy Snape. I mean, c'mon...It's Snape for heaven's sake! His darkness is what makes him sexy!
I love dark stories!
I will beta mature content as long as the author is an adult.
**I am currently unable to accept new stories to beta.** |

| | Preferred Ships: I beta-read Severus Snape / Original Character fan fiction provided the OC is well-rounded and the plot is convincing. I require a synopsis of the story and a sample of writing before I commit. At present, I don’t beta-read for any other ships unless I have worked with the writer before. | | Notes: I won’t read SS/HG, slash, excessive swearing, or any plot or character which differs massively from canon. I expect writers to read through and spell-check their work before sending documents for beta-reading. I use the ‘comments’ function of Track Changes in Microsoft Word; the author is responsible for making corrections manually. |
