This is a list of all members of the Board who are willing to beta on a regular basis. Feel free to add yourself (alphabetically)! Include fandoms in which you are knowledgeable, along with areas of specialty (SPaG, Britpicking, dialogue, etc.), and don’t forget to update your entry with new fandoms and the like.
In a sincere attempt to keep this list up to date, we removed all beta readers who have not been seen anywhere near the PPC for over one year, and we plan to repeat this annually.
LAST CLEANUP: Feb 29, 2024.
doctorlit[]
doctorlit is temporarily on hiatus from beta work until the archive is complete.
- E-mail and AIM: keyoflit[at]yahoo[dot]com (both checked regularly)
I prefer to work in Microsoft Word, but am warming to GoogleDocs. Please, put me to work beta-ing your stories, and help keep my brain focused on the PPC. Have little time in winter and spring, less busy the rest of the year.

Linstar[]
- E-mail: linstarguy@gmail.com
- Discord: linstarguy
Linstar will beta almost anything, as long as it isn't NSFW. I'm decent with SPaG, and usually pretty good with continuity, especially with the PPC as a whole. I may end up procrastinating for a while, because I am bad at prioritisation.

Neshomeh[]
- E-mail: neshomeh [dot] soul [at] gmail [dot] com
Neshomeh will beta any type of mission in any continuum if asked nicely, as long as her work schedule allows it. Don't be afraid to send a request by e-mail. She is especially good at catching mechanical errors—SPaG, word choice, capitalization, paragraphing, etc.—and for matters of PPC canon and compatibility therewith. She does not do rush jobs and likes to go through the process at least twice, once before edits are made and once again after, so don't ask if you're not willing to wait.
- Fandoms
Neshomeh is especially fond of and functionally (*) to thoroughly (***) knowledgeable about these continua:

She may be particularly willing to beta missions in these continua, especially if her favorite characters are involved.

- Notes: I'm kinda bad at SPaG, as I'm usually distracted by the story being told. Thus, my areas of expertise are information and story.
