Neshomeh

 * E-mail: exswyzie14 at yahoo dot com

Will beta any type of mission for anything: SPaG, style, consistency, you name it. Especially good for matters of PPC canon and compatibility therewith. Prefers to work with a .DOC file, and does not do rush jobs. Expect to wait about a week for reading, re-reading, correcting, double-checking, and sending back; more for longer missions.

Will likely also beta for things not on this list, since not knowing a fandom means she's well able to spot things that won't make sense for other people unfamiliar with the fandom. If you're not sure, just ask. {= )

Sedri
Sedri is better as a SPaG and narrative style beta, but will be glad to give content comments on any subject matter or fandoms she is familiar with.
 * E-mail: fanwritersedri At Gmail Dot Com
 * With regard to formatting, spelling, punctuating and so forth, Sedri uses a mix of British and American conventions, in part because no country seems to agree with itself, let alone others, and in part because some conventions make no sense whatsoever and only serve to make prose more confusing. If you ask her to beta for you, she will do her best to follow whatever standardised convention you prefer, but this is the reason she prefers to beta for style than SPaG.

Fandoms:
 * Star Trek (all series)
 * Wicked
 * Harry Potter
 * Narnia
 * Lord of the Rings (though less knowledgeable about Silmarillion and HoME-era)
