~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The List
Name: Seek [Seekeraftertruth]
Under/Over 18: Over 18.
Email or mode of contact: PM (at least for initial contact.)
Books read: SotL, TIQ, PotS, Trickster duology, PD, TaOL, all Emelan excluding Melting Stones. (Underlined are the books I am especially familiar with; the others may be a long haul.)
Things you will not beta: Smut, explicit stuff.
Betaing strengths and weaknesses: Strengths: Bouncing ideas off, handling details. Weaknesses: I do basic spelling and grammar. Don't expect me to be familiar with esoteric minutiae. Same for diction--if there's an awkward sentence you want an opinion on, I may or may not pick up on it, and am not the sort of person you want if you're looking for someone who will help you get every word *just* right.
Types of fics prefer to Beta: Generally negotiable, but at the moment, shorter fics, given time issues.
Name: Tamari
Under/Over 18: Over
Email or mode of contact: PM or iluvmaxi @ hotmail . com
Books read: SotL, tI, PotS, PD, all Emelan
Things you will not beta: smut, gore, basically anything that wouldn't be allowed on Goldenlake
Betaing strengths and weaknesses: Good with spelling, grammar, and prose issues. Not as good at finding and fixing plot holes.
Types of fics prefer to beta: Best with oneshots and drabbles. Willing to give multichapters a try though!
Name: wordy
Under/Over 18: Over 18
Email or mode of contact: PM. We can take it to e-mail after that if you like.
Books read: All of them.
Things you will not beta: Crack fic i.e. anything that is ridiculously over-the-top in regard to humour/believability.
Betaing strengths and weaknesses: I'm good with spelling and grammar. My weakness is probably remembering minor details from the books; other than that, I'd consider myself an all-rounder.
Types of fics prefer to Beta: No multi-chapters or epics, as I don't have the time for that anymore.
Name: Weiryn
Under/Over 18: Over
Email or mode of contact: PM, or by email is fine - email is jeliezar @ hotmail . com
Books read: All of Tortall (particularly familar with SOTL and TIQ, but I have a have a good knowledge the other series as well), All of Emelan
Things you will not beta: I'm up to try everything, though am less comfortable with smut.
Betaing strengths and weaknesses: Strengths - bouncing ideas off, spotting and fixing continuity errors and plot holes. Weaknesses - 1st person POV. I'm fine with basic spelling and grammar, but don't expect me to have a detailed knowledge beyond that. Otherwise I'd say I'm a decent all-rounder.
Types of fics prefer to Beta: Happy to beta any length - I'm happy to make the commitment to a longer fic.
