Fic or Art? Either
Preferred Pairings: Anything, though I will admit to bring more Colin/Merlin obsessed focused.
Your strengths: (SPaG only, Brit picking, characterization, consistency, etc.) Fic: mostly SPaG, though I've been known to find gaping plot holes and be critical of characterization. Art: my specialty is realism, particularly shading/lighting, but I've helped beta comic style.
Pairings/Squicks you refuse to beta: Haven't really found anything yet.
Turn-around time: Depends on how thorough you need me to be, but I usually have a couple of hours a day I can devote to fandom, and I'm a fast reader.
Anything else? I tend hang out in the GSD_Fandom chat room at chat(dot)mibbit(dot)com, and I'd be happy to do a live beta session. I'm in the Pacific Standard time zone.

Fic or Art? Fic
Preferred Pairings: Any combination of Arthur, Merlin, Gwaine, Percival, Leon...with a definite preference to A/M
Your strengths: SPaG (with a leaning towards SP), Brit picking, characterization, plot holes etc
Pairings/Squicks you refuse to beta: Arthur/Gwen unless it's past relationship or she's being offed or dumped from a great height in favour of Merlin!!
Turn-around time: I'm currently on maternity leave and bored stupid so I can get to this pretty quickly. I'm waiting for my own fic to come back from beta (today I hope!!) but the edits on that won't take up much time.
Anything else? Prefer to use Word but can do gdocs if preferred.

Fic or Art? Fic
Preferred Pairings: I'll look at any, but Arthur/Merlin is by far my favourite.
Your strengths:I'm best at SPaG but I'm fairly knowledgeable with Brit slang (for an American, anyway :P), and I can definitely point out gaping plot holes and errant characterisation.
Pairings/Squicks you refuse to beta: I can't think of any that I would definitely not beta, though that seems like tempting fate a little to say that, haha.
Turn-around time: Depends on the piece and how thorough you need me to be. I do have some important classwork I need to do but I can be fairly fast.
Anything else? I'm in EST. Prefer gdocs but anything goes (:

Fic or Art?Fic
Preferred Pairings:Arthur/Merlin is my preference but I will beta others. If you're going to get slashy, I'll do M/M and M/F, but not F/F.
Your strengths: SPaG, characterization, consistency--if I see it, I'll at least comment on it. SPaG and alternative wording are probably my strengths. I'm learning more British phases all the time but Britpicking is definitely not a strength as I am American.
Pairings/Squicks you refuse to beta: Slash F/F, Mpreg, heavy duty BDSM, reincanation,fem!slash, historal eras other than canon AUs (modern AU is fine), fem!Merlin or fem!Arthur.
Turn-around time: for about 10K words, usually 48 hours during week. Can be faster on weekends.
Anything else? I'm in the eastern US timezone, and a night owl with a tendency towards insomnia. If you're in a hurry,I can probably accommodate you with some late night/early morning work.
