Beta Reader List

It's come time that we update the beta post. This is going to replace the old one, and it will be linked to on the LJ and tumblr sidebars. If you would like to be added to the list, fill out the info below and comment to this post. You can also get yourself added via tumblr or email us at cap.im.mod@gmail.com.

Being on this list doesn't obligate you to beta anyone's fic. It's simply a place for interested writers to try to find someone. After you're added to the list, we may contact you periodically (no more than once a year) to confirm you're still active, and you can contact us at any time to let us know if something changes.

Turnaround time: Varies by story length and personal life. Anything under 10,000 words can usually be looked at within three days.
Contact me for: More familiar with MCU, but also very happy to help with 616, though not good at cross-checking with canon for that universe. Also familiar with Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Avengers Assemble. Happy to work on AUs as well. Can do grammar/spell check, help with stuck plot points, and make suggestions on plot/characterization. Will beta PWP, but cannot handle certain kinks.
Don't contact me for: A/B/O fics, relentlessly dark fic. (I can do dark fic, but I have a cut-off point where it becomes too much for me.)

Turnaround time: depends on the length and personal life. I would say a week for anything under 15,000
Contact me for: I love higher order concerns like plot, clarity, style cohesion/coherence, closure, characterization, and dialogue. I fine with just SPaG and structure though. Any universe (but I'm most familiar with MCU and 616); I like Tony-centric fics, angst (try and make me cry; I dare you!), & AUs.

Method(s) of contact: Send me a tumblr message and we can exchange emails/skype. I personally like working with Google Docs.
Turnaround time: Around two weeks. However, the time may vary depending on fic length and my availability at the time, so it will have to be reviewed on a case-to-case basis. If it’s time sensitive, please let me know ahead of time and I will let you know if I can meet the deadline.
Contact me for: 616, MCU, SPaG, characterization, dialogue, flow, plot arcs, long fics, short fics, action scenes, sex scenes, angst, fluff.

Name: Hannah
Method(s) of contact: Tumblr (stevetony)
Turnaround time: Under a week, schedule permitting
Contact me for: I’m really only familiar with MCU as far as characterization, but I can do a spelling/grammar/continuity read through for any universe. One-shots are preferred.
Don’t contact me for: A/B/O, slavery, mpreg, any other hardcore kinks, or drug use. I’m not good with beta-ing smut, but I will beta stuff with sex scenes in it. Also not great at coming up with plot ideas.
Other notes: I’m most comfortable with google docs, and I’d prefer fics that are finished or nearly finished. Also, I’m a student, so I may take a little bit longer during the school year depending on what homework I have.

Turnaround time: About a week max, unless it's a really, really big one.

Other notes: I'd prefer to beta complete or nearly-complete drafts, but I don't mind working on chapter-by-chapter basis either.
Entry added/updated: 17-Aug-2015

Name: Ima
Method(s) of contact: my username is imafriendlydalek on tumblr and gmail. Those are the best ways to find me.
Turnaround time: I can usually turn stuff around fairly quickly and I’m in a European timezone, so overnight for Americans

Don’t contact me for: A/B/O, mpreg, furries, underage, non con, major character death.
Other notes: Availability is limited in the first few months of the year when actual work calls. I’m not overly familiar with most of the comics (working on it!) but will happily read it nevertheless.
Entry added/updated: 19-Aug-2015

Turnaround time: 2-3 days for 5k or less, 5 days or so for anything longer

Entry added/updated: 13-Jan-2017

Name: Kalashia
Method(s) of contact: tumblr
Turnaround time: Less than a week, unless it's a huge fic and/or I happen to have a very busy week
Contact me for: 616 is my favorite, I've also read Noir and some Ults. I'm less interested in MCU fic, though it depends on the length/plot etc.
Don’t contact me for: I won't be that much help with writing sex scenes (though I'll beta stuff with them).
Other notes: I'll irregularly have weeks in the year when I don't have enough free time to beta.
Entry added/updated: 17-Aug-2015

Name: kteaanne
Method(s) of contact: kteaanne-at-gmail-dot-com or viennasunrise on tumblr
Turnaround time: Anything 10,000 words or less I can have it done in a week. Anything longer than that will take more time and will probably depend on my schedule.
Contact me for: I'm most familiar with MCU, 616, & 3490 but I don't mind doing research for something I'm not familiar with. I'm better with big picture things like continuity and plot but I don't mind working with SPaG. WIP are also ok.
Don't contact me for: A/B/O, Mpreg or any other hardcore kinks. Warn me if the fic contains noncon/dubious consent.
Other notes: I'm pretty on top of my email so it won't take me long to get back to you. I also prefer to use googledocs but if you're patently against it we can work something out. I am still in school so RL might occasionally take over and my turn around times will be different. I can give you a heads up when you email me if that ends up being the case.
Entry added/updated: 13-Dec-2015

Name: Lets_Call_Me_Lily
Method(s) of contact: gmail! my username is betula. arbore, and I'll get back to you within a day or two :)
Turnaround time: Usually under a week for 50,000 and under.
Contact me for: spelling and grammar and continuity within your fic. I've read 616, some Noir and some Ults, and have varying knowledge about the 'verses. I'm totally fine with reading web summaries and doing research for a fic! I'm probably most comfortable in MCU based fic, seeing as I've watched them all.
Don't contact me for: less great at larger-scale stuff like plotting, and prefer not to read things such as a/b/o and other tropes which disempower characters or portray problematic things such as dubious consent in a positive light. Please don't contact me for incest, substance abuse, mpreg and squicky stuff.
Other notes: I'm more than happy to read any rating, but I won't be able to help witht the sex scenes, sorry! Also, I am happy to adapt to whichever style of editing you like - track changes or googledocs are the ones I'm most familiar with.
Entry added/updated: 13-Oct-2015

Name: Sparrow
Method(s) of contact: Tumblr asks (asparrowsfall) are good for initial contact and I’ll give you my email!
Turnaround time: I shoot for a two-day-or-less turn around time — I’ll let you know in advance if real life is screwing up my timing, though!
Contact me for: Basically any verse. I’m usually a little behind the current 616 run and Avengers Assemble, but I’m pretty well-versed otherwise.
Don’t contact me for: Watersports, scat, particularly intense torture porn, kid fic of any type.
Entry added/updated: 16-Aug-2015

Name: [livejournal.com profile] teaberryblue
Method(s) of contact: Best way to contact me is emailing tea dot fougner at gmail dot com, but you can also message me on tumblr at teaberryblue. LJ works as well but I check less consistently. You can also check IRC for me.
Turnaround time: Depends-- I'm best contacted for quick turnaround on short fic-- something under 5k that you need someone to look at RIGHT NOW. Though I can't promise I'll always be around.
Contact me for: Short fic is best. MCU, 1960s-early 90s 616, Noir, 3490, Ults. I'll do more recent 616 but my reading has been patchy.
I'm really good at bigger-picture advice, worldbuilding, story structure, plot untangling, pacing, building tension, character development, etc.
I love identity porn and slow burn fic best. I like 3490, Noir, and other more obscure universes. I actually enjoy MCD fics and am cool with most major triggers/squicks.
Don't contact me for: I'm dyslexic so long fic and SPAG are not my strengths. Not a big fan of A/B/O or depowered AUs, and I'm less keen on crack than more serious fics. Haven't watched EMH or IM:AA, and my A:A-watching has been spotty.
Other notes: See above-- I'm good at getting back to people instantly, or scheduling a time to read and discuss together. I like betaing in Google Docs where I can leave comments and suggestions right on the fic.
WARN ME if your fic involves 9/11, intravenous drug use, or detailed medical procedures.

Name: [livejournal.com profile] teyke ON HIATUS (pretty busy atm, sorry!)
Methods of contact: lj message me or send an ask to teykekeyte on tumblr
Turnaround time: By Sunday evening on any given week, unless it's a real epic. I usually can't provide feedback on weekdays.
Contact me for: I'm familiar with pretty much every universe they exist in, though I spend most of my time with the MCU and 616. I can do either quick spelling/grammar/typo checks or provide more complicated character/plot feedback.
Don't contact me for: Major character death, scat, watersports. I'm also not great at betaing sex scenes, though I'll happily beta a fic with sex scenes in it.
Other notes: I'd prefer to beta complete or nearly-complete drafts only.

Entry added/updated: 18-Oct-2015

Name: Woad
Method(s) of contact: LJ ([livejournal.com profile] woadin) or tumblr asks (tinctoriawoad)
Turnaround time: Depends on the word count and what all is in the pipeline. But ~week for anything 10k or less.
Contact me for: Canon: My 616 Avengers/Invincible Ironman is fairly well filled in from Avengers Disassembled onward. I’ve read a good chunk of Ults. EMH, A:A, MCU, 1872. Feel free to ask about anything else.
I’ll do long or short fic, gen to explicit. Continuity, characterization, and plot are where I am most comfortable.
Don't contact me for: Perfect grammar. Underage, Incest, Mpreg/Kidfic, Scat/Watersports, Disparate crossovers (Clark Kent is fine, Bilbo not so much), Infantilized characters
Other notes: My style is more like running commentary (I try to make suggestions sparingly, unless asked otherwise) so I like platforms like Google docs. I’d prefer to do finished fic. Please warn for non-con and substance abuse.
