Things that you won't beta:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The List:
Name: AerinAlanna
Email: gaelicgirl06 @ aim.com
Things that I will beta: Any series/universe, any rating, het or gen. Not as familiar with the minutiae of the PD books. Preference for K/D, Evin/Miri, Kyprioth/Aly, Aly/Nawat, Kaddar/Kalasin, unusual het pairings, or anything that examines how people act and react in difficult (yet canonically plausible) situations.
Things that I won't beta: Slash (unless it's a tiny part of a fic), crackfic, crossovers, horrible spelling and grammar, anything that sounds like Twilight.
Name: aniloverl
Things I will beta: DN mostly, any rating, any length, almost any pairing, AUs
Things I will not beta: lemon, slash, AJ, KD, ridiculous AUs, Emelan
Name: aurorax/Ginger
Things I will beta: Tortallan stories of any rating or length, explicit, unusual, or slash pairings, long multi-part fics, character death- almost anything Tortall. I'm better with long description and internal conflict than spoken dialogue, but I can do both. I tend to give detailed line-by-line feedback and prefer working within canon, though I would be happy to look at interesting, plausible AUs. I love to provide encouragement for longer pieces and adore peripheral characters.
Things I will not beta: Emelan, crossovers, crackfics
Name: bebeschtroumph (Alie)
Things I will beta: Any length, any pairing, any rating Tortall
Things I will not beta: Modern AU, PD or trickster as I haven't read those, I'm not the best for Emelan stuff as it's been years since I picked up those books.
Name: Cassandra
Email: oneperfectfit@gmail
Things that I will beta: Tortall, Emelan, PD, any pairing you can think of.
Things that I won't beta: Nothing explicit, graphic violence.
Name: Daine's Biggest Fan Forever (Jessie)
Email: horseygirl7@cogeco.ca
Things that I will beta: Tortall, anything AU, slash, some Femslash, Daine/Numair, mostly Immortals stuff
Things that I won't beta: Emelan (I have never read the books and do not intend to), Provost's Dog (Read the first one but didn't like it at all), certain Femslash, Daine or Numair paired with anybody but each other.
Name: Elvensmith
Email: ccelvensmith@gmail.com
Things that I will beta: Tortall and PD, any pairings.
Things that I will not beta: Nothing too explicit, no Trickster, no Emelan. No modern AU.
Name: ev
Email: evofthedark@gmail.com
Things that I will beta: Anything
Things that I will not beta: Crossovers, nothing too long/more than one chapter
Name: FeatheredxWings
Email: featheredwings@hotmail.co.nz
Things that you will beta: I love slash and romance, but I pretty much beta anything.
Things that you won't beta: Nothing I can think of.
Name: Gear
Email (optional): 42gear [AT] gmail [DOT] com
Things that you will beta: Tortall (except for Trickster), Emelan, Provosts Dog, any pairing
Things that you won't beta: explicit fics, Trickster verse (I don't know enough of the canon. If you just want grammar/spelling/general plot, that's fine, but I can't check canon), incest, m-preg.
Name: Heather (Heather the Writer on ff.net, heather_neather on lj)
Email: thecoolestbunny@hotmail.com
Things that I will beta: Almost anything! I focus mostly on tone and diction, then look at characterization, then plot. I am extremely picky, so expect to redo bits and pieces many times and spend many emails discussing the finer points of your work. I don't shy away from longer fics, but I would prefer it if they weren't strung out over several years. If you only want feedback on a certain part of your writing I'm fine helping out with that too. I also make an excellent cheerleader.
Things that I will not beta: explicit stories.
Name: Jess
Email: arbitraryink@shaw.ca
Things that I will beta: Tortall - (almost) any length, any heterosexual pairing or femslash pairing, any rating. Provost's Dog - (almost) any length, any heterosexual or femslash pairing, any rating. Be warned, I am less familiar with SotL than any of the other Tortall series. Additional information can be found at my Perfect Imagination profile (perfectimagination.co.uk - username arbitraryink).
Things that I will not beta: Any of the Emelan books, as I haven't read them in a very long time. Male slash fics, as I am simply not comfortable with those pairings. I'd also prefer not to beta novel-length pieces as I am a working university student and wouldn't have quite enough time to devote to such a work.
Name: katieheidie
Email: katieheidie@live.com
Things that I will beta: Anything
Things that I will not beta: AU's and Crossovers
Name: Kim
Email: sing.lullabies@gmail.com
Things that I will beta: Emelan/Tortall (including Terrier and short stories), all pairings and genres
Things that I won't beta: Bloodhound, crack/intentionally OOC stories, overdone plots (namely Dom-sees-Kel-in-a-dress-and-falls-in-love)
Name: Lisa
Email: Lisafer (at) gmail (dot) com
Things that I will beta: questionable morality, oneshots, short-fics, humor, sexual explicitness, slash, het, bisexual, Tortall, Emelan, character death
Things that I will not beta: long multi-part fics, AUs, crossovers. Also, I'm not really good with overly-vague or super-artsy writing. I can do it, and will give decent feedback, but I'm not the best for that kind of work.
Name: Lisabounce
Email: lisabounce at gmail dot com
Things that you will beta: Tortall and Emelan, slash, femslash, het and genfic. I'm open to all pairings, though you might have to sell me on ones where the characters have not actually interacted in canon.
Things that you won't beta: Highschool AUs, the more implausible crossovers, OCs, badly written non-consensual sex or characters under the age of consent and novel length fic.
Name: Max/Elena
Email: elena_forever@hotmail.com
Things that I will beta: PD, Emelan, & Tortall - though I'm more familiar with PotS, TC/TQ era Tortall, simply because I own those books and so have read them more.
Things that I won't beta: Nothing.
Name: Missjulia (Julia, Missjulia.Miriam at Fanfiction.net)
Email: missjulia.miriam@gmail.com
Things that I will beta: Almost anything.
Things that I will not beta: Crackfics, crossovers, anything really terrible (really bad grammar, spelling, etc.), femslash.
Name: mistrali
Things that I will beta: Emelan, Trickster, anything that's 1200 words or below, especially drabbles. Both content and grammar/spelling.
Things that I will not beta: Tortall & PD, as I haven't read those books in ages. Crack. Fics that are solely focused on romance. Stuff over 1200 words. Crossovers for fandoms that I don't know. Emelan/Tortall.
Name: OpalGirl/Val
Email: boredsvunut (at) gmail (dot) com
Things that I will beta: Tortall or Emelan, any pairing, pretty much any length or rating.
Things that I will not beta: I won't turn anything down, but if you have a novel-length epic, I'm probably not someone you'd want as sole beta.
Name: PeroxidePirate (Nicki)
Things that I will beta: Pretty much anything -- any series, genre, pairing, or rating. Femslash, slash, het, multipartner are all fine.
Things that I will not beta: Most crossovers, stories with a lot of basic grammar errors (though I will check for typos, of course), and really graphic violence. Also, don't count on me to canon-check Trickster's, tIQ, or PD.
Name: Seek (seekeraftertruth)
Things that I will beta: Just about anything. Tortall, Emelan, etc. I'm pretty game for non-Pierce things too, in crossovers, as long as I know the fandom.
Things that I won't beta: PD. I'm sorry, I haven't finished reading the second book >.< I would preferably not like to beta long fics, because I do have a bit of a crazy schedule at the moment.

Things that you won't beta: Smut, crossovers with most fandoms (although you can always ask and I'll see if I know the world well enough to help)
Name: Erin (tortallanrider)
Things that I will beta: I know SOTL-era Tortall best, but anything in Tortall is usually fine. PD and the Trickster books are probably best done on a case-by-case basis.
Things that I won't beta: I don't know Emelan well enough to read those stories and nothing explicit.

Email: ubiquitous.girl [at] gmail [dot] com
