Preferred name: Ava, sir_blinky
Profile: I'll read just about anything, and I usually look out for grammar, spelling, the technical aspects, and fact checking, etcetera. Pacing and plot development are also things that are higher up on my list.
Amount of fic willing to beta: 2
Restrictions: Please no songfics or smut. I can't really beta either of those two well.
Past beta experience/other relevant experience: I've been beta-reading some fics for other fandoms (specifically helping with translation from Bahasa Indonesia to English for one person, correcting the word choice for the other person), and a friend in RL has me as her beta for her original work.
Anything else you want to add: It's best to contact me through e-mail, or PMs on LiveJournal. I don't usually go to chats very often.
