Status: Available for one-shots and pinch-hitting only at the moment; no full-time beta-ing.
Pairing preferences: Zutara and Makorra, but I'm okay with any pairing (or non-pairing) in AtLA and LoK, as long as it isn't explicit slash/femme-slash.
Rating Preferences: Anything goes (except for the explicit slash/femme-slash).
Language/Spelling: British English; however, I have a firm understanding of American, Canadian, Australian, etcetera.
Beta Style: A comprehensive critique or essentials only; whatever you prefer. I can be detailed (some might consider harsh), but never to the point of rudeness.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Preferred Method: Track Changes (.doc) or Record Changes (.odt); prefer email rather than Google Docs.
Turn-Around Time: 1-3 days; a week at the most.
Pinch-hitter: Yes.
If you'd like to apply for my services, just fill out the following (and feel free to add your own notes, excerpts, or anything else of relevance):

Beta Style: A comprehensive critique or essentials only; whatever you prefer. I can be detailed (some might consider harsh), but never to the point of rudeness.
Strengths:
- I'm fairly good at spotting typos (except my own, of course), repetition, grammatical and structural issues. I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to dialogue and attribution. I like to help you make your dialogue as natural sounding as possible while also being structurally sound.
- I pay close attention to characterisation and plot, especially with regards to any story that involves mystery (or big reveal). I will let you know if your characters are acting inconsistently or if the pacing of your plot (including action and romance) is moving too quickly.
- I like to be a soundingboard. I will never try to take over your story; however, I am more than willing to listen to your ideas as well as offer you a point of view outside your own (which doesn't at all mean that you should follow my opinions).
Weaknesses:
- I'm not a canon-thumper, and I will rarely do your research for you. I will assume your facts are correct unless they really jump out at me as being spurious.
- Unless you specify otherwise, I tend to go with the essentials only - looking for SPaG issues and a light editing. But if something really stands out as being incongruous, I will point it out.
