| Their speed for betaing a fic : | A day |
| They prefer to beta : | Anything PG-13 or higher |

| Type they beta : | m/m slash, f/f slash, het and gen |
| Their speed for betaing a fic : | 3-4 days |
| They prefer to beta : | Non-PWP, and the darker the better! Particularly partial to BDSM, orcs, Uruk-Hai, Gollum, bloodplay and all the other good stuff that tends to make readers squirm ;) |
| They refuse to beta : | There's absolutely nothing that I'll refuse outright, but I'd rather not have to deal with fluff. |
| Favorite pairings : | Aragorn/Boromir; Boromir/Faramir. |
| Hated pairings : | I'm not convinced that I *hate* any pairings... |
| Strengths : | LotR canon, characterization, plot holes, syntax, Elvish, spelling, and to a lesser extent, grammar. And I'll beta anything you could possibly throw at me, no matter how extreme (or silly/disgusting/generally insane) you may think it is. |
| Comments : | By way of a warning - I'm English, although I'm not in the habit of anglicising fics unless specifically asked to do so. Also, my Elvish (Quenya, and Sindarin to a lesser extent) is fairly competent, if anyone needs translational help. And I don't suppose this would be of any use, but I also speak French, Spanish, Italian and Latin, and my Ancient Egyptian and German aren't bad either ;) |

| Their speed for betaing a fic : | 3-4 days |
| They prefer to beta : | appy love, angst, hobbits mostly. Hurt/no comfort, sad but with happy ending. |
| They refuse to beta : | No happy ending, unknown people (ie Isuldur because i don't know how he should act...*lol*), rape, violence... |
| Favorite pairings : | Sam/Frodo, Merry/Pippin, Merry/Frodo |
| Hated pairings : | Legolas/Aragorn, Legolas/Sam, Aragorn/Frodo, anyone but a hobbit/a hobbit |
| Strengths : | I have lots of praise but i'm not too good on the criticism ;) I'll try tho! |
| Comments : | I love hobbit stories and I WILL beta sex scenes, but only if they're written the way tolkien would. No smut or terrible words - please no swearing! :) |

| Their speed for betaing a fic : | 3-4 days |
| They prefer to beta : | Humourous slash. I very much enjoy all of the Hobbit characters. |
| They refuse to beta : | Homophobic stories. I have a low tolerance for pouncy elf stories. |
| Favorite pairings : | Frodo/Sam |
| Hated pairings : | Uruk-hai and victim |
| Strengths : | I'm quite good with the book canon and the movie canon. I'm good with story arc, POV and continuity. My grammar is good except for punctuation. |
| Comments : | I can beta virtually anything without 'rewriting' the story to fit my preferences. My own writing style is closer to P.G Wodehouse than to Anne Rice. |

| Type they beta : | M/m slash, f/f slash and gen |
| Their speed for betaing a fic : | 3-4 days |
| They prefer to beta : | I can do Sweet&Tender and BDSM. I have no problem reading fic that are non-consentual. I like Mpreg. |
| They refuse to beta : | Het. No Way In Hell. RPS. OCC (Mary-Sue or not). Bestiality. Pedophelia (I could accept if the two are minor, but it most be a low rating). Necrophelia. Sam/Frodo angst in Mordor. Crossover. |
| Favorite pairings : | Legolas/Gimli, elf/elf and Haldir/anything |
| Hated pairings : | Boromir/Aragorn |
| Strengths : | Plot holes, continuity, detail, descriptions. I'm very week in spelling and grammar because English is not my native language. I could help with bit of French, but I don't see it being usefull in this fandom. |

| They prefer to beta : | Anything, really... I do have a thing for angst, darkfic, hurt/comfort and the like. |
| They refuse to beta : | Nothing! I have no morals :) The only thing I can think of is that I probably wouldn't be much help with Silmarillion-based fic, as I haven't read it yet. |
| Favorite pairings : | Aragorn/Frodo, Aragorn/Boromir, Haldir/anyone... and Arwen f/f would be cool. |
| Hated pairings : | None... I like'em all :) |
| Strengths : | Freakishly good at spelling *g*, and I can help with grammar, description, characterization, etc... I'm not a professional writer yet, but hoping to get there. I also speak Spanish, if that's useful in any way... |

| They prefer to beta : | NC-17 fics, rape fics, child abuse fics, PWP, fluff, angst...actually, anything goes! (the darker the better, but fluff's okay) |
| They refuse to beta : | Refuse? What's that? (I'd prefer anything w/o Gollum, though I will beta that) |
| Favorite pairings : | Elrond/Legolas Elrond/Anyone Thranduil/Anyone |
| Hated pairings : | Er...N/A? I like 'em all! |
| Strengths : | I read VERY long fics very quickly, I can usually review within an hour or 3 as soon as I find it. I'm good at grammar, spelling, and I'm taking Quenya, Sindarn, and Black Speech courses over the internet. I'll beta anything you offer. |
| Comments : | I'll review your story and/or fix mistakes...That's my impression of beta. I have yet to change my naviete after doing that to a lot of fics...I'm not good at Simarillon fics, I haven't read it yet, sorry... |

| Rating they beta : | G, PG, PG-13 and R |
| Type they beta : | m/m slash, f/f slash, gen and het |
| Their speed for betaing a fic : | 3-4 days |
| They prefer to beta : | Book canon; primary characters (as a rule of thumb, in my estimation Faramir is a primary character, while Haldir is not); psychological fic rather than heavy smut (this doesn't exclude PWPs); short to midlength stories; quest to post-quest rather than pre-; melancholy to dark stories. |
| They refuse to beta : | AUs of any sort, mpreg, humor, fluff, epic 18-chapter novels. No Silmarillion-based fic, as I'm not familiar with the text. Would prefer not to deal with action-adventure type plots, but that's not a hard-and-fast rule. |
| Favorite pairings : | I'm interested in femslash and Men, but I'll read nearly anything if you can make me believe in it. |
| Hated pairings : | human/hobbit pairings usually squick me; little knowledge of elf/elf pairings, thus don't feel comfortable working with them. for some reason, Aragorn/Legolas irritates me. other than that, nothing. |
| Strengths : | Mechanics (grammar/spelling), plot structure and flow, world-building and background details, dialogue, style issues like phrasing and word choice. |
| Comments : | I try to work tactfully, but I have high standards and am not stingy with constructive criticism. Research is one of my strong suits. My devotion to accuracy is considerably greater than my knowledge of canon, so I prefer to be able to refer to the books. Possess only sketchy movie knowledge. No knowledge of Elvish, fairly unfamiliar with Elves in general. Something of a maps geek. The thing I care about over all else is good writing. I read a lot and have written for most of my life. I have a good ear for what works and what doesn't. Beards do *not* squick me. I may be one of ten people in the fandom for whom this is true. |
