Five Figure Fanwork Exchange

AO3 name: nowrunalong
Discord is my preferred mode of contact, but email works too.

For fic, can beta: Buffy, The Good Wife, Ant-Man movies, DCEU (any movies except for Suicide Squad), DCU Comics, Person of Interest, Tales from the Borderlands, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, The Legend of Korra, Lucifer, F/F or gen Harry Potter works, F/F or gen OW.

For comics, can beta: any fandom.

Specific topics of expertise: Art and cooking. My partner and I are chefs, so if you have questions about the restaurant industry or recipes or anything else in that realm, I may be able to help! I also attended an art school and can chat about things like composition, life drawing, critiques, small gallery shows, relief printmaking, general art school experiences, some art history, famous artists/artworks for your character to hang in their new apartment, etc :D

What can you beta and when? (Media, content, length, doc types, availability by calendar): I am happy to provide feedback about comics in any canon, as well as fics under 20k in the fandoms specified above. My availability is pretty open currently - will update if that changes.

For fic, I can provide cheerleading, light SPAG (mostly a typo check, rather than in-depth SPAG), and answers to any specific questions/concerns you may have about your story. My beta style is "here's a running commentary of my thoughts in the margin of your draft". Unless directed otherwise, I will point out what I like, what interests me, what questions I have, what jumps out to me as feeling awkward/out of place/OOC, and any suggestions I might have. I can also canon-check pretty extensively for BtVS, if needed.

For comics, I can provide cheerleading, suggestions about colours/compositions/poses/clarity, and answers to any specific questions/concerns you may have about your art.

I am unfortunately not in the least bit helpful with beta-ing smut! I'm happy to read it, but am no good at writing or critiquing it. I generally shy away from works that contain any of AO3's archive warnings, but MCD and violence are okay if they are not the main focus/point of the story.
