Additional Information

"Prefer not to beta" times and characters aren't strict, I'm just not well-versed in those areas. Willingness to read horror, torture, and noncon depends on level of detail and my mood.

I enjoy offering positive as well as constructive feedback, so let me know if encouragement is important ☺️.

If you're scared to show someone your smut, share it with me. I love beta'ing sexually explicit fic and encouraging writers who want to become more comfortable with it.

Reminders to Authors:

• Read the beta's full profile before contacting them. Respect any limits they state about what they're willing to beta. Likewise, if a beta notes that their "Prefer Not to Beta" list is not a rigid set of limitations, feel free to reach out.
• A beta's inclusion in the directory does not mean that they are necessarily available to beta for you at this time. When contacting a beta, remember that your message is a query about their availability.
• It is helpful to include some information about the piece you need beta'ed. What is it about? What kind of help are you looking for? How long is it? When will you need it finished?
• We recommend betas and their authors having clear conversations before beginning about the expectations of both parties. SWG moderators will not "referee" communications (including conflicts) between betas and authors.
