While I don’t mind sex being part of your fic, I'm not the person to go to for advice on writing it.
Very happy for you to touch base if you have something specific in mind or aren't sure about something that isn't so clear-cut (if it's passing mention of something, I'll probably be fine with it) 🙂

- Work Description:
- I am offering to beta read up to 40K words. This can be for a single fic or multiple short ones, and so can work for a podbid if you like 🙂
This auction is for line and copyediting rather than helping you develop story arcs and hit plot beats: I am great at SPaG, internal continuity, "does this make sense" and "is this having the effect I want it to" checks, sentence flow, and by request can leave cheer-reading comments and overall feedback. Happy to work with either British or American spelling, and I am used to either suggestion mode in Google docs or track changes in Word.
I am also open to betaing for ships within these fandoms: please double check with me on those first!
Depending on the canon and character(s), I can also comment on canon-compliance and characterisation, but it'll be limited as, being frank, it's been a long while since I've watched or read most Marvel canons. I have listed some specific universes that I'm most familiar with (I've read 616 piecemeal, nothing super new or super old). I am willing to read/watch something for context depending on length of material provided it's easily accessible (please note I don't have a Marvel Unlimited account or Disney Plus at this time!). Not bothered by spoilers.
My turnaround time would depend on the length of the fic I’ve been asked to beta and other commitments. If you’d like me to beta 40K words with a specific deadline between Nov 2024 - Feb 2025, I would appreciate you letting me know before you bid. You can also bid on this auction for fic(s) that you haven’t written yet and keep me in reserve!
