| E-mail : | ChefGirl1@aol.com |
| Rating they beta : | PG-13, R and NC-17 |
| Type they beta : | m/m slash and f/f slash |
| Their speed for betaing a fic : | A day |
| They prefer to beta : | Anything PG-13 or higher |
| They refuse to beta : | Any fic that has rape, any abuse, and any fic that pairs a child (13 and under) with an older adult |
| Favorite pairings : | I have to pick just one? |
| Hated pairings : | I hate any pairing that has gollum in it! |
| Strengths : | I guess you could say my speeling is my strength. Grammer comes in behind plot and title creating. |
| Comments : | It takes me a day to beta but since I only get 2 hours on the net, I won't be able to send any fic back until the next day. |

| Rating they beta : | Any |
| 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 ;) |

| Type they beta : | m/m slash and f/f slash |
| 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 and f/f slash |
| Their speed for betaing a fic : | 3-4 days |
| 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... |

| Strengths : | Can correct many spelling and usage errors. Can do humour *no parodies, nothing too silly*, dry humour, angst, and fluffy romance. Big on plot formation and style, descriptions and such. Good with dialogue. Good on detail. English is a first language, but please do not ask my to tell a prep. phrase from o.p. because I really can't do that... |
| Comments : | Hurt/comfort fics are fun, send them my way. *g* Feel free to email me and chat about the fic and I'll openly give you my thoughts *but I may sometimes be honestly blunt* and good criticism. I am not fluent in Elvish, just know some little words, and I have a lot of knowledge on Lord Elrond *heh heh*. Will beta any part of any fic, just as long as I know what's going on. ^^ |
