Types of fanworks you can beta: Anything with words - I can cheerlead non-word items, but not give critique.
Things you can beta on the fanworks: I beta it all - grammar/spelling, plot, pacing, structure, character voices, internal logic, whatever. Unfortunately I am not good at limiting myself, so if you only want a few of these items, I'm probably not your gal.
Comics, movie, or both: Movie only, sorry. I will read the comics eventually, I'm just... putting it off. /o\
Type of beta you are: Sea of red. I write about 1 for 1 with your wordcount and am very wordy. I try to be very thorough in my explanations as I don't generally want authors to feel bad about their babies but I do want to polish the stories/poems/meta into the best story/poem/meta it can be.
Anything else you'd like to add: I will probably not have the time to manage massive fanworks this season, unfortunately. Anything under 5k is fine; once we hit above that, I'm a little hit or miss, due to my tough work schedule.

I have no squicks or triggers and will beta any rating, any pairing, any category.

I'm not participating in the exchange, but happy to beta.

Types of fanworks you can beta: Fic
Things you can beta on the fanworks: Grammar/spelling, characterisations
Comics, movie, or both: Both
Type of beta you are: Depends what you need. I can do strict proofreading, or friendly hand-holding :)
Anything else you'd like to add: I'll beta anything, but please just warn me before I start - no one likes unexpected kinks!

Types of fanworks you can beta: Fic, art, graphics, craft projects, podfic, etc. Not a vidder.
Things you can beta on the fanworks: Grammar/spelling, pacing, characterization, overarching structure. Colour/ design with art. Pacing, voice-typos, tech aspects with podfic.
Comics, movie, or both: Both.
Type of beta you are: I'm afraid I tend towards 'sea of red' re SPAG (but only where necessary, honest!). I do try to explain and justify suggested edits. My aim is to help writers make the work flow better and avoid typos and SPAG mistakes, also things like random tense shifts, POV shifts and epithets. I do try to cheerlead a bit as well but it's not my main thing.
Anything else you'd like to add: Pretty unsquickable, and can handle any pairings and rating. I like the Comics, although the movie's got all the pretty, so that gives you some idea. Usually pretty fast turnaround, depending on length.

Hello! Do you think you could work with me? I'm mainly looking for someone to bounce ideas off of and see if they make sense, and - I'm so sorry - someone to regularly ask my progress to make sure I stay on track because I tend to miss a lOT of deadlines. I'd also really like someone to read it over, make sure it makes sense, but I know that's labor intensive and those first two things I mentioned are higher priority atm.

Sure, will pm you.
