This is a post to organize people who are willing to beta read with people who need betas.
If you are willing to beta, comment to this post with your name, some sort of contact information (e-mail is probably best), and what you will and won't beta for (ex. no spoilers past s8, nothing above R, no BDSM/heavy kink, etc.).
For example, my comment would look something like this:
Name: Melayne
E-mail: melayneseahawk[at]gmail[dot]com
Strengths: grammar, syntax, characterization, canon
Will Not Read: AU, BDSM/heavy kink, purposeful character bashing
If you are looking for a beta, wait a little while until people comment and then e-mail your beta of choice. Make sure you don't choose the person you're writing for.
As always, you can contact me with any questions or comments, but I won't be available for beta.
Have at it!

Will Not Read: If I don't feel able to do a decent beta job once I've seen it, I'll let you know, but I'm pretty open.
