Fandoms: I am happy to beta canon-blind 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; if it's a movie that's available on Disney+ or Netflix then I'm also willing to pick it up.
Some canons I'm familiar with (though it's been a while for some):
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
Marvel Cinematic Universe (including some Netflix shows)
Mulan
Neil Gaiman novels (e.g. Stardust, Anansi Boys, American Gods, anthologies)
Our Flag Means Death
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 Martian
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.
What can you beta and when? (Media, content, length, doc types, availability by calendar): Can beta all media and length up to 50K, word/openoffice/libreoffice will be converted to googledoc but I can download and send back in word as well, and I can beta up till the deadline (or beyond).
If any of the following are large components of your fic, sorry, I can't help:
RPF, reader-insert, noncon, A/B/O, ageplay, infidelity, pregnancy or mpreg as a major theme, underage sex, mentor/mentee romantic relationship, incest, disrespectful treatment/permanent disempowerment of marginalised characters, character bashing/demonising (critical is fine, though!), glorified *isms, high school AU, horror (the genre).
I don’t mind sex being part of your fic, but I can't offer advice on writing it beyond "there are 3 arms here?".
