Fandoms: Too many to name. I don't know many non-English canons or anime/manga fandoms, especially any that came out after 2005. I don't know RPF but would bone up just for you! I read and watch TV and movies like it's my job, there's a good chance I know your canon. If it helps, you can see the canons I've written for on my AO3 profile to match: https://archiveofourown.org/users/thinkatory
Areas of expertise (eg, locations, professions, hobbies, genres of story): I would say I'm best at making atmospheric pieces and plotty pieces work just a bit better.
What you’re okay with reading: Everything. What you’re not okay with reading: Nothing. I don't have squicks that matters when I'm betaing.
Maximum length to beta: No max, I'll beta any length.
Category (Gen, M/M, M/F, F/F, Multi, etc): All.
Are you okay beta’ing smut: Yes, definitely.
What archive warnings are you okay with?: All.
What you can do as a beta (SPAG, pacing, characterization, plotting, cheerleading, etc): SPAG, style, pacing, consistency, plot issues, cheerleading.

[scansionictus]

Maximum length to beta: 15k.
Category (Gen, M/M, M/F, F/F, Multi, etc): Would prefer not beta fics with M/F as a main pairing, everything else is fine.
