Relevant media (vids, fanfic, podfic, etc): fanfic
My strengths as a beta: I'm fairly good at spotting spelling and grammar mistakes, and at keeping track of the 'logistics' of a story (keeping timelines straight, making sure people aren't in two places at once, and so on). If I know the fandom, I can also check for consistency with the canon.
Fandoms I'm willing to beta (or "Any"): Harry Potter, Firefly/Serenity, Swallows and Amazons, Asimov's Robot series, The Lord of the Rings, The Mentalist (unless your fic contains spoilers from episodes that haven't aired yet where I live), The Big Bang Theory (with the same spoiler proviso). These are the ones I'm most familiar with, but feel free to ask about others :)
Best way to contact me: PM or reply to this comment.

Relevant media (vids, fanfic, podfic, etc): I'm most likely to be useful for fic or podfic, words being the medium I actually work in, but feel free to ask about visual media etc.
My strengths as a beta: Lots of experience with critiquing fiction & poetry; decent at proofreading/error catching; I tend to give pretty detailed feedback. I'm not easily squicked, but I won't necessarily be very helpful critiquing your graphic sex scenes (not that I've seen much of that here so far).
Fandoms I'm willing to beta (or "Any"): Fandoms I've seen posted to this community so far, that I'm knowledgable about Due South, Slings & Arrows, Firefly, Vorkosigan saga, Sherlock (BBC or ACD), Gilbert & Sullivan, Pern. There are some others I have passing familiarity with, e.g. Quantum Leap, Harry Potter. I don't watch a lot of TV/movies, but I read a lot of books. Feel free to ask about other fantoms. I'm also happy to read in a fandom I'm not familiar with, if you're looking for the sort of feedback that can be provided in that situation.
Best way to contact me: PM on LJ or reply to this comment.
Caveat: I'm pretty squashed for time just at the moment, so may not be available for a while... Posting this here for future reference. :)
