I’m not comfortable betaing the following subject matter: Non-con, permanent Major Character Death (temporary is ok), heavy angst, characters under 18 in romantic/sexual situations, darkfic, gore, high school au, coffeeshop/bakery au, flower shop au, not into romantic Sheith but if you're in a tight spot to find a beta it's ok
I especially enjoy the following genres: NSFW is totally fine, canonverse, romance, humor, hurt/comfort, character study, world building, emotional intensity, Klance, Lancelot, Keitor
I’m particularly good with the following (SpaG, sensitivity checking, characterization, grammar, plot flow, etc): Characterization, flow, SpaG, Keith and Lance and Lotor,
Time requirements: Since I'm a mod for the fest, and due to other fandom commitments, I don't have as much time as I typically do for beta reading, so I need at least 2 weeks to turnaround your fic. Consider me an emergency backup beta if you're really stuck!
I’m happy to beta short fics/long fics/anything: Short fics preferred due to time constraints (7k or less!)

I’m not comfortable betaing the following subject matter: I have no thematic content squicks, but if Keith or Shiro (broadly speaking) are paired, I can only do endgame Sheith or a poly. If you feel very strongly about using “cum,” we’re probably not a good fit to work together.

I especially enjoy the following genres: Any

I’m particularly good with the following (SpaG, sensitivity checking, characterization, grammar, plot flow, etc): SPaG, continuity, plotting, structure

Time requirements: I have a lot of scheduling flexibility, but it really depends on the level of assistance you require.

I’m not comfortable betaing the following subject matter: I'm pretty open to most stuff, but shiro/keith as a romantic pairing does squick me out for personal reason.

I especially enjoy the following genres: All of them. Angst and Romance are my favorites, but i am open to AUs, Canon verse, NSFW, hurt/comfort, Slowburn, etc

I’m particularly good with the following (SpaG, sensitivity checking, characterization, grammar, plot flow, etc): SPaG, characterization, plot flow, structure, continuity, canon details, world building, word choice, language (if lance is going to say anything in spanish)

Time requirements: I have a very flexible schedule right now. I'd say give me about 3 days to make sure I get through it all, but it really depends on the length and how much assistance you need. The time could be shorter or a day or two longer based on that.

I’m happy to beta short fics/long fics/anything: Anything since i have a lot of free time at the moment.

I’m not comfortable betaing the following subject matter: I have no squicks. Bring it on.
I especially enjoy the following genres: Darkfic, Shiro or Keith-centric fic
I’m particularly good with the following (SpaG, sensitivity checking, characterization, grammar, plot flow, etc): I can do grammar/plot/characterization/etc but if we're being honest I'm probably not the best at it. I'd be a good choice for a beta reader if you just want a quick second set of eyes to look for mistakes, or if you really need someone who is willing to help you with certain contents/lengths/time constraints that might be harder to find willing betas for.
Time requirements: I work pretty quickly and don't have too much on my plate irl at the moment, so I should be pretty quick getting back to you.
