Hi Katie, I'm taking over Duchess' official harangue the vague duties cuz I'm curious and nosey, hehe.
What kind of fic do you prefer to beta? Is there anything you won't beta? Will you beta a long term project, such as a WIP? What color underwear is Brad Pitt wearing today? Oh..oops, sorry.
I'd offer you your first job, unfortunately my fic is a long wip that really needs a beta who is reading it, but if I write any drabbles any time soon (the only other writing I've ever done besides V.V. smut and that's a whole different can of worms), I'll keep you in mind.
Are you movie canon savvy? Book savvy? Are you familiar with Sil or HoME or UT?
Heh, bet you had noooo idea how many questions we could come up with, did'ja?
Welcome aboard the beta boat. We definately adore our betas here.

Ghettoelleth,
i will beta just about anything, even the occasional smut fic, but i like betaing action/romances; im very flexible though. i also do works in progress. i find that longer fics are often better written and i like seeing the stories develop. i am familiar with the trilogy, the Sil, and the Hobbit and can beta from any of those. i'm generally not offended by anything so ratings aren't a problem.
Katie
PS i dont know what color underwear Brad Pitt is wearing. i do know something about Aragorn's though...... hehehe |

We can discuss the problem with double posts...or triple ones. "When good posts go bad..." I think in between mine and Rhap's  remarks there was one! See half naked man with half naked woman?? oh wait...they're everywhere!

oh dear  you're being subjected to excessive happiness
I'll have new fiction chapters in the next month or so, but right now I'm working on a non-fiction. Do you feel up to taking a swing at that? ... just for puntc, grammar, word flow, repeated words, that sort of thing. ?

Or make use of my beta skills about rangers and if they actually wear underwear... no guarantees to come up with actual research though.

Actually, I have a chapter that needs grammar beta if you're up to it. Let me know where to send it and I'll get it right to you.

I cannot help myself. I tried to sit on my hands but this was just too tempting. You want a multiple post violator to look for "repeated words"? 
Sorry - I have had 3 hrs sleep and that just cracked me up. Course I stared at Rhap's avie for 30 mins before I posted so I'm a little spacey right now.....
