My name is what?: -
I can speak in parseltongue: R/W English, some Queens' English (spelling-wise, mostly), R minute amount of French.
I can beta: Fanfiction and Originals
But Specifically: Harry Potter/ I like fantasy and sci-fi originals.
Relationships and censorship: As long as you don't call it a goddamned manhood, I'm fine with anything. Not a lot of knowledge on the sexual aspects of lesbian relationships, but I'm willing to read up on it if you require.
How I beta: I can either do sentence structure, spelling and grammar, and that flavor, or I can do in-depth betaing of the story itself. I don't do both.
Why I beta: I read at an above-college level and have a decent grasp of the English Language, it's nuances, and all that fun stuff.
How to get hold of me: PM Lt. Oblivious
E-mail at: Goddess_of_the_lupe@yahoo.com
What time zone I'm in: American Pacific
What I can do in two weeks: Somewhere around 200 pages of spelling/grammar, around 100 for in-depth critiques.

G E E K U My name is what?: Leyla!
I can speak in parceltounge: English (r, w), Russian (r), and German (only if you write like a three-year-old.)
I can beta: Short stories, some fanfics, poetry.
But Specifically: Short fictional stories.
Relationships and censorship: I'm pretty good about gay/lesbian relationships, and I'm not squeamish about sex despite my young age. I don't care if you give me some weird X-rated gay extravaganza, as long as it's well done.
How I beta: I generally ask for a FictionPress, deviantART, sheezyART or e-mail of maybe 2-3 pages of the piece. I take it into a word document and make my annotations before sending it back in that format, or leaving a review or comment. Don't let this fool you! I'm a mean, mean, mean Nazi Beta.
Why I beta: I myself, as an aspiring writer, would like to improve, and quite honestly, there's not many who give good critique or are willing to. But I am! ; D So here I am to yell at and learn from! Love me!
How to get hold of me: PM me.
You can contact me via e-mail! everything-junkie@hotmail.com
I'm available via AIM! iGeeketh
Or, if you really can't find me, Flyff! Aibatt 2-2, Leyley, Detoxx or Mohfo. Sometimes I'm in Lawolf as Technotronic.
What time zone I'm in: EST. I live in New York state, but I'm up at weird times.
What I can do in two weeks: Depends on how busy I am.
Super!Busy: Ten pages of in-depth critique. Fsrs.
Busy: Up to fifty pages.
Not Busy: Seventy-five pages.
I don't like to read online and I don't have a printer, though, so I normally only take in snippets of 2-5 pages. :3 Even with that, I need frequent breaks in which I have to look away from the screen, or I enlarge the print a little.

My name is what?: Caerthakatha / Harriet.
I can speak in parceltounge: English (r, w), French (r, w).
I can beta: Fanfictions, original stories (as long or short as you like).
But Specifically: Doctor Who / Torchwood fanfictions, Harry Potter fanfictions, fantasy original stories, science-fiction original stories.
Relationships and censorship: I'm happy with just about anything as long as there's a reason why it's in there. I don't want to have to sit through a story about nothing but graphic sex with over 10,000 words.
How I beta: I check spelling and grammar, as well as Brit-picking if it is needed. Sometimes I change punctuation if it stands out to me as well.
Why I beta: I'm an avid reader, and sometimes I just wish I could change some of the mistakes I see in online prose. =P
How to get hold of me: Send me a PM to either Caerthakatha or my mule, The Sea Devil.
Email me at vegastable@hotmail.com
What time zone I'm in: GMT (London)
What I can do in two weeks: I have no idea. I spend most of my time on the computer, so I could easily beta a whole original story at least.

Relationships and censorship: I prefer clean works. IE: No sex scenes.
How I beta: I read, comment, recommend, and advice. Can be grammar, structure, story, and a mix of everything. I don't limit myself to any specific area on any pass. Generally, I'd use word to make notes in different color fonts like I would in a real workshop.
Why I beta: Just another way to improve not only my writing but others.
How to get hold of me:
Email/MSNM: GAicehawk7@cox.net
AIM: GMicehawk

I can beta: Originals, prose, poetry.
But Specifically:Action, fiction, science fiction, fantasy.
Relationships and censorship: I'm ok with all different relationship deals, though I'm only experienced in writing straight relationships. I'd rather not critique overly sexual or erotic stories. I probably wouldn't do any good in that area anyway, as I'm still a virgin.

Why I beta: To save the world.
How to get hold of me: Email #1: eclare1@charter.net
Email #2: thefantast_sillygirl@hotmail.com
or just pm me right her on gaia!

My name is what?: Lori.
I can speak in parceltounge: r/w English only.
I can beta: Anything and everything, though when it comes to animes I probably won't know the storyline, but I'll be able to figure it out.
But Specifically: Fiction. I love all kinds, but my personal favorite is real-life-related.
Relationships and censorship: I'm good with anything and everything.
How I beta: I guess you could say I'm a bit of a grammar nazi (I blame it on my teacher). So the biggest thing I do is grammar things, like making sure there are no, commas and Capitals in the middle of a sentence where they don't belong and things like that.
Why I beta: Too many interactions with "lol i want too be a righter"
How to get hold of me: PM is best.
Felix282@aol.com I don't check it as often as I should, but I do every few days.
Aim: Felix282
What time zone I'm in: American EST
What I can do in two weeks: I'm not really sure. I'd probably say a chapter a week or so.
