Editing/Beta Reading

Contact thru Tumblr, Twitter, or Discord. Please include fandom, ship if applicable, length, plot summary, how quickly you need it done by, and the main kind of editing you're looking for (grammar and punctuation, flow, plot and plotholes, feedback on ideas, etc)I'm the most familiar with Google Docs, but I can work with other formats.I do this for free but if you have the means, like what I do, and want to tip, my kofi and PayPal are listed in my contact info
I will gladly BETA any of these pairings (as well as gen content in the fandoms mentioned), but ask if there's one I didn't mention, because I might do it and just forgot:

Types of things I LOVE to edit:
-fluff and romance/getting together
pining, first kisses, love confessions
-friends to lovers
-fix its
-college au
-roommate aus
-modern aus
-action/adventure
-fighting monsters
-fluffy smut
-people processing their trauma and -helping each other work through thingsTypes of things I will NOT work on for editing:
-major character death (unless they come back to life)
-mpreg
-suicide, extensive self harm, or attempted suicide (okay with mention or discussion of)
-unhappy ending
-permanent break up
-infidelity (between main ship)
-non con (okay with dubcon sometimes)
-major age difference (especially if one is late teens, early 20s)
-detailed torture or abuseSexual content and smut
-non con and/or rape
-not enough lube
-unsafe bdsm (unless its a learning process, or someone new to it figuring things out)
-under-negotiated scenes (again, unless they work on it)
-degradation or humiliation
-pet play
-age play
-scat and watersports
-bestiality/ certain xeno
-underage content - if the characters are under 17 and/or if theres a gap of more than a year between an underage character and of age character

If I haven't covered something or you think your fic only has a bit of one of these things, like minor torture or a bit of dub con, I'm up for discussing it :)

-smut (i like my smut to be earned. You can look at my 'editing guidelines' section for DNWs for smut)Content I do NOT want to recieve:
(In no particular order, because I keep remembering new things)

Fandoms/pairings I enjoy:
(in no particular order)Stranger Things -
Billy Hargrove/Steve Harrington (Harringrove), Billy/Eddie (Mungrove), Billy/Eddie/Steve (Harringroveson), Steve/Eddie (Steddie). Gen Party content is also great.
No anti Billy content. I love post starcourt healing (physically and mentally), anything featuring Family Video and/or Scoops. Super here for vamp!EddieTeen Wolf -
Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski (Sterek), Liam Dunbar/Theo Raeken (Thiam), Stiles/Jackson, Stiles/Theo, Derek/Theo, gen pack and puppy pack content is great.
Love healing from trauma content and supporting each other thru their issues. Failwolf Derek is my precious bean. Let him be awkward and soft and a big squishy marshmallow who means well in his thumbhole sweaters. I'm meh about Scott and okay with fics where he isn't the greatest guy or anti Scott sentiments (but not the whole point of the story). LOVE spark/druid/witch Stiles fics. (also most of my ao3 bookmarks are sterek fics woops). I'm down for Stiles/Theo or Derek/Theo if they're fluffy and nice to each other. NO Stiles/Scott pleaseHarry Potter -
Draco/Harry (Drarry), Draco/Neville (Dreville), Marcus Flint/Oliver Wood (Flintwood), Remus/Sirius) Wolfstar.
For Drarry and Dreville especially, i love post war fics (8th year to middle aged) and them relearning who they are to each other. Like being stuck as dormmates in 8th year. Later school year pining and friends to lovers is always a win for me. I adore job fics, aurors, various ministry jobs, unspeakable, and them interacting because of it. Veela Draco is fun.Our Flag Means Death - Ed/Stede (Blackbonnet), but also any crew content is fun as well. All the fluff with these two, tho I'm all for some good angst with misunderstandings and rebuilding (after the finale but also just learning how they fit together). Izzy/Lucius (i'm just getting into them and i love the idea of Izzy being into him and Lucius just being a flirt who KNOWS what he's doing to Izzy). I'm up for Izzy/Stede/Ed or Izzy/Stede, but like the kind of content that would convince me to ship them, the GOODest fluffiest piniest shit you got.The Witcher -
Geralt/Jaskier (Geraskier)
Slow burn, friends to lovers, misunderstanding, wound care, nonhuman Jaskier (fae, immortal, witcher!Jaskier - any and all forms of this I LOVE). Geralt/Eskel, Geralt/Jaskier/Eskel - similar themes, and with Eskel adding in that since childhood love and piningBuzzfeed Unsolved/Watcher - Shane/Ryan (Shyan)
Friends to lovers with a dash of angst is my go to for these guys. And a good case fic intermingled, even betterJulie and the Phantoms - Peterpatter (Alex, Luke), and Alex/Luke/Reggie
Comforting each other and being best buds while they're alive (hurt/comfort is wonderful here), and of course friends to lovers, the boys being awkward and not catching on. Overall fluff is a big yesStar Wars - Mandalorian mostly. DinLuke, DinCobb, DinLukeCobb, and dad Mandalorian stuff (though I'm still pretty new to the fandom, so content that doesn't require too much canon knowledge that isn't explained in the fic)
Pining, friends to lovers, learning about Mando'a culture, shenanigans with Han and Lea heckling Luke over his crushHeartstopper - Charlie/Nick
Any feel good content. Pining pre-relationship stuff or gooey established stuff with them learning more things about each otherThe Magnus Archives -
Jon/Martin, Jon/Gerry, and Jon/Martin/Gerry. Statement fics, especially well written creepy ones, and/or ones featuring other fandoms I'm in. Background Georgie/Melanie is great, and any positive Georgie, Sasha, Basira, Daisy or Melanie content.
No bug or spider content or descriptions of people like Jane PrentissMarvel - Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes (Stucky), Bruce/Thor, Spiderman/Deadpool (Spideypool), Deadpool/Spiderman/Daredevil (Team Red), Deadpool/Daredevil, as well as content featuring Daredevil, Hawkeye, and Venom.
Stucky - love friends to lovers, content dealing with Buck's arm, Jewish content, and both of their mental issues (PTSD, anxiety, flashbacks, etc) from their past
Any Peter Parker content with him being a romantic lead, Andrew Garfield or Peter B Parker pls. Otherwise, not picky.
Deadpool - a-okay with profanity and violence that comes along with him. I extra love discussion, angst, and dealing with his scars, pain, and physical appearance.
Hawkeye - love work with ASL, sign, HOH, and deaf content

I have been peer editing in fandom for a handful of years now, and it became a hyperfixation of mine a few years ago. You can look in my ao3 collection "Fic's I've Beta Read" for examples. I've always had a knack for noticing SPAG and love talking with a writer about their perspectives and plots, both as for me getting a sneak peak behind the story, as well as helping future readers be able to get the full intended story the author wanted.please refer to my 'Editing & Beta Guidelines' page for will and won'ts, as well as contacting and sharing your work with me

Quickest way to get ahold of me would be discord or Tumblr. I sometimes don't get ao3 comments right away, and Twitter is known to just not tell me anything on my phone.
