fic categories willing to beta: slash, gen, het, team, friendship, character-pieces, humor, angst, deathfic, crack, romance, apocafic, action, AU, crossovers as long as I know something about the other canon. special loves: robots, zombies, unicorns.

fic categories less willing to beta (except for the 2 or 3 writers I do read in that category): hard kink, mpreg, kidfic, partner betrayal, superschmoop, 1st-person POV, 2nd-person POV.

pairings willing to beta: lots. any within the team, but also outside the fab four. more reluctant re pairings involving Cadman, Woolsey, Caldwell, OCs. definitely no pairings involving Kavanagh, Kolya, or Lucius please.

type of beta: spelling and grammar, Ameripicking, continuity/plotholes, characterization... um, ask busaikko?

length of fics/turnaround: under 2500 words, usually a day or less, longer than that a few days; if I have schedule constraints I'll let you know. I'm probably best for fics under 25,000 words.

Would you be willing to beta femslash? I'm not mentioning the pairing here, because it's the only request for for it. The fic won't be very graphic, PG or PG-13, R at most, probably 4000 to 6000 words (a little more than 2000 at the moment), 3rd-person POV, set in the period from The Gift to Duet, but low on action as the character whose POV I'm using is neither military nor 'hard' scientist. I'm not sure about the genre, but I have a suspicion it's leaning toward romance and slice of life (at least as much as a story dealing with The Siege can).

As for the type of beta, I need pretty much everything you mentioned. I'm not a native English speaker, so spelling, grammar, and Ameripicking are more than necessary, and some critique on characterization and/or plot would be nice, too.
