Every year I beta-read sweetvalleyslut's yuletide fic. I really enjoy betaing, and would like to do it more. (I used to be regular beta for two Labyrinth writers, but both moved on to other things.) Last year I beta'd for another Yuletide writer, and I'd like to do that again!

*I buy these comic series in trade, which means that I'm only familiar with them up through the most recent collected volume. (I haven't read the most recent single issues, and would rather not be spoiled, please.)

I'm also quite happy to do a general beta for just about any fandom. I can be as harsh or light as you need me to be, on both style and grammar.

So, if you need a beta, you can contact me at fairiesbite at yahoo dot com. I'd be more than happy to help. :)

One note: I mean to do some pinch-hitting this year, so I probably won't be available for last-minute betaing (though feel free to check, I could surprise myself).

Yay!

...

the Bible is a fandom? Like, with shippers and/or slashers and the various incarnations in-between? I don't get out much but if there's Bible ficcers in this world, I want to be pointed towards them! :D

I need to pick up some new fandoms. And the ask you to beta for me 'cause you know what you're talking about.

Yeah, there's been a fair amount of Bible fic in past yuletide sessions . . . also I think there may be a bibleslash community on LJ somewhere. I've certainly seen Jesus/Judas about, though some of it is based on movies (or Jesus Christ Superstar). I can't point you right now as I don't have links on hand, but perhaps later. ^^

*grin* Well, I'd be happy to beta, if you get to that. And I should mention, of course, that these are Yuletide fandoms I can beta (I went through the whole list of Yuletide options to choose them); there are other, less obscure things too. ;)

(I need to sign into my other account and comment on your art, now that I can. I've been hiding from the non-fandom online world lately, but I'm starting to miss it.)
