This is Ermingarden's offer post.

Types of offered work : Beta reading and/or accuracy picking

Exemples of work: My own fanfic is available at archiveofourown.org/users/Ermingarden; it's a bit more difficult to provide examples of editing work, but I'm an experienced editor in offline life as well – I have a part-time job editing academic articles, which I recognize is not perfectly equivalent.

Fandom(s): Willing to do English-language stylistic and technical edits in any fandom or original work, including nonfiction. My own current fandoms are Tolkien, Star Wars, TGCF, and MDZS.

Length, size, scope, etc: No upper limit on word count, depending on bid amount.

Especially interested in creating...: Happy to work on fic, original work, fandom-related nonfiction. I don't have any smut-writing experience, so I'd be less helpful editing that, but I'll give it a shot!

Unwilling to create: Underage sexual content.

Minimum bid (in EUR / € / euros): €5 per 1,000 words.

Notes: This offer is for multiple rounds of edits on the same fic, since certain parts of a fic may need only a little bit of work, while there are other parts the writer may want to write and re-write.

Length, size, scope, etc: Up to 5,000 words (roughly half an hour of edited audio)

Especially interested in creating...: Femslash, women-centric works, nonbinary-centric works, works with Jewish themes

Unwilling to create: Character bashing, anything that will require me to speak and record racist slurs, enslavement, scat kink. I reserve the right to reject any suggested story for any reason; if that happens, I will explain why and allow you to select another.

Minimum bid (in EUR / € / euros): 5

Notes: €5 for up to 500 words, an additional €5 for every increment of 500 words after. For example, a 1,000-word fic is €10, a 1,001-word fic is €15, and a 2,100-word fic is £25. I will add coverart and/or music to any podfic for an additional €5 each. Your winning bid can buy you more than one podfic as long as your bid encompasses the wordcount of all stories you'd like me to podfic -- eg, if you bid for 5,000 words and want me to record one 3,000-word fic and one 2,000-word fic.

Exemples of work: Beta and ballet-pick: https://archiveofourown.org/works/19311553

Fandom(s): All fandoms, including original works

Length, size, scope, etc: 200,000-word limit

Especially interested in creating...: Femslash, woman-centric and nonbinary-centric stories, Jewish themes

Unwilling to create: I reserve the right to reject any story for any reason. If this happens, the author may ask for a review of a different story.

Minimum bid (in EUR / € / euros): EUR 20

Notes: I am an ex-ballet dancer, expert in the Jewish history of ballet from 1900 to present, and taker of a few dance theory classes at the graduate level. I know a great deal about the mechanics of ballet movement, the Western ballet canon, the dynamics of ballet schools and companies, and the history of 20th and 21st century ballet. I would love to ballet-pick your ballet-involving story! I'm also happy to cast a weather eye over stories that involve non-ballet dance, though my experience will be less directly related.

This is VTsuion's offer post.

Types of offered work : Written work

Exemples of work: https://archiveofourown.org/users/VTsuion/works

Fandom(s): ACD Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek: The Original Series, Jeeves and Wooster, works of Agatha Christie, a range of 19th century literature (I'm happy to try something new), original fiction, sports anime, Yugioh, some DC Superheroes and X-Men

Length, size, scope, etc: Fluff ~1000 words, something more ploty can be 5000+, depends on how much it strikes my fancy

Especially interested in creating...: Holmes/Watson, Kirk/Spock, Jeeves/Wooster, Superman/Batman, Magneto/Professor X, original female character/original female character, I particularly like writing established relationship and hurt/comfort, I also enjoy writing plotier things (with and without romance), especially if you have particular suggestions, and enjoy twisting tropes and ideas around, I'm more than happy to do joint plotting/brainstorming or work with an idea for a fic you've always wanted to see, but didn't want to write yourself

Unwilling to create: I don't write sex or noncon of any kind, pining also isn't my cup of tea, and I can be a bit ship monogamous for my favorites, I'm also a bit weary of adaptations. Generally, I'm happy to take pretty much any prompt (sex aside), I'll just fill it to my own tastes/interests

Minimum bid (in EUR / € / euros): 5

Notes:

Types of offered work : Beta reading and/or accuracy picking

Exemples of work: my writing is at https://archiveofourown.org/users/VTsuion, I edited https://archiveofourown.org/works/27113293/chapters/66207733

Fandom(s): pretty much anything, as long as you can explain the necessary background, and I'm passably familiar with many things

Length, size, scope, etc: 1 euro/1 round of edits on 1000 words (up to a max of 50 euros)

Especially interested in creating...: I do a very thorough edit for wording and flow, and can also help with brainstorming and hammering out plot and characters (word limits more flexible, especially for as of yet unwritten stories).

Unwilling to create: I can't edit sex scenes (and don't read them if I'm editing around them), I can't cheerlead, and I'm also more picky in fandoms that I'm closer to, so unless you think it aligns closely with my work and would benefit from my particular perspective on the characters, or is a very distant AU, I'd be hesitant to edit Holmes/Watson, Kirk/Spock, or Jeeves/Wooster. Pining is also not really for me, so I might not be the best person for editing it.

Minimum bid (in EUR / € / euros): 1

This is Lore's offer post.

Types of offered work : Beta reading and/or accuracy picking

Exemples of work: I've beta'd multiple works ranging from one-shots to Big Bang fics during my time in fandom, including for Marvel Trumps Hate and Fandom Trumps Hate auctions.

Fandom(s): If I am not familiar with the canon or you are requesting an original work beta, I can edit for SPaG/copyediting, dialogue, internal continuity and sentence flow, as well as leave cheer-reading comments and feedback if requested.

Whether I can check for canon-compliance and characterisation will depend on my familiarity with the source material.

Canons I'm familiar with:
Artemis Fowl
Cabin Pressure
Check, Please!
Discworld
Doctor Who (New Who)
Elementary
Firefly
Harry Potter
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Howl's Moving Castle
Killjoys
Leverage
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries
Martian
Marvel Cinematic Universe (including some Netflix shows)
Mulan
Neil Gaiman novels (e.g. Stardust, Anansi Boys, American Gods, anthologies)
Pacific Rim
Percy Jackson and the Olympians (and Heroes of Olympus)
Sherlock Homes (ACD, BBC, RDJ)
Tamora Pierce novels (Tortall and Emelan)
The Imperial Radch trilogy
The Mummy (1999 film and sequel)
The Murderbot Diaries
The Princess Bride
Vorkosigan saga
White Collar

I've also seen all the Star Wars films and read some DC and Marvel comics. This is not a complete list, but hopefully gives you enough to go on.

Length, size, scope, etc: I will beta read up to 50K of fic/original work. This can be multiple works that add up to 50K altogether, or one work up to 50K in length.

If you're looking for a fandom that isn't in my sign up, feel free to get in touch, as it's not an exhaustive list! Chances are that I will be happy to beta for you even if I'm going in canon-blind (or if it's a short canon I might be able to get caught up), unless your work hits my Do Not Wants.

Especially interested in creating...: Some tropes I like:
friendship/platonic, pre-slash, established relationship, slow burn, genderswap, identity porn/secret identities/disguises of all kinds, found family, fake relationship, relationship of convenience, hurt/comfort, role reversals, worldbuilding, teamwork, comedic misunderstandings, non-sexual intimacy, competency, touch starvation, clothes sharing, slow burn, relationship where the other is secretly a pseudo-villain, enemies/friends to lovers, morally grey or liminal characters, self-rescues, outsider POV. Others things, too :)

Some settings I like:
canon compliant, post-canon and pre-canon speculation, what-if/canon divergent, explorations of missing scenes, canon-adjacent, multiverse, crossovers/fusions, AUs (Spies/secret agent/detective, magic, sci-fi, steampunk, pirates, space, etc)

Unwilling to create: Reader-insert, noncon, kink, A/B/O, ageplay, infidelity, pregnancy or mpreg as a major theme, underage sex, mentor/mentee romantic relationship, villain/hero romantic relationships such as Thanos/Tony, incest, disrespectful treatment/permanent disempowerment of marginalised characters, character bashing/demonising (critical is fine, though!), glorified *isms, high school AU, horror (the genre).

While I don’t mind sex being part of your fic (I can read around it), I don’t feel that I can offer any advice on writing it.

Minimum bid (in EUR / € / euros): 10

This is jo_lasalle's offer post.

Types of offered work : Beta reading and/or accuracy picking

Exemples of work: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Jo_Lasalle

Fandom(s): MDZS/The Untamed

Length, size, scope, etc: I will beta a story of up to 15k; I'm open to betaing longer work by negotiation depending on the type and content of the story, requested depth of the beta, and the final bid.

Especially interested in creating...: Primarily Wangxian, but open to betaing other pairings that don't break up or add on to Wangxian. I'm better at CQL-based characterization.

Unwilling to create: I'm not the right beta for fic that leans anti-Jiang Cheng, or involves any non-platonic Chengxian. I also can't read hard gore. (Canon-level violence is fine, non-con is fine.)

Minimum bid (in EUR / € / euros): 20

Notes: My beta approach will depend entirely on what you're looking for and how tough or gentle works best for you. :) I can do spelling and grammar only if that's what you want, but also ask you pesky characterization questions and discuss and help with structural, big picture themes. I'm up for reading multiple drafts (within reason, and depending on length and content) if you're still developing your story. I'm also not squicked or put off by a lot of hot button issues so if you want input on your getting-over-cheating story, your drunken sex mistakes story, your power imbalance dubcon, or similar, I can be your Jo!

This offer is a writing-only beta. I can't offer and don't claim to have cultural or xianxia genre insights.

Schedule and turnaround time by discussion and mutual agreement - I have some things on my plate but am also not a super slow beta.

https://hkblack.tumblr.com/

Fandom(s): Any! I am most familiar with Good Omens & Harry Potter (original series and Marauder Era), I just finished Our Flag Means Death, so I'm into pirates as well! I'm finally caught up on Doctor Who.

Length, size, scope, etc: Up to 20k words, G through M ratings only

Especially interested in creating...: For Good Omens I'm an anything goes kind of person, I love me a good Human AU, meet cutes, and outsider perspective

Harry Potter is a super old fandom for me, I have the most experience with the good ship Wolfstar and and Drarry.

I have not done any works in the Our Flag Means Death or Doctor Who fandom yet. So if you've got something that needs a beta, I'd love for you to be my first toe dip into that fandom! I think it'd be fun to do something new to me!

Unwilling to create: I will not beta-read the following things:
Anything that falls under the Underage Archive Warning
Hurt/No Comfort
Sad Endings (it's been a rough few years y'all, give me some happily ever after)
Rape/Non-Con
Major Character Deaths
Graphic Violence

Minimum bid (in EUR / € / euros): 15

Notes: My beta-reading includes story flow, character development, world building, consistency, looking for plot holes, cheerleading, and SPAG.

Fandom(s): Any!

Length, size, scope, etc: 10k words of betaing, can be split up over multiple fic if you want!

Especially interested in creating...: Fandoms I know (can be found on AO3), but I'm happy to beta for other canons as well. Also, cheerleading. :)

Minimum bid (in EUR / € / euros): 10

Notes: I can do cheerleading, SPAG, flow, and high-level feedback; for high-level feedback, I prefer having a list of questions to go off of. If you want cheerleading, I'm happy to cheer on partial drafts and snippets. :)
