I’m excellent and thorough at SPAG, sentence structure and general story structure (tear-stained testimonials available from [personal profile] smallhobbit). I’ve a thorough knowledge of canon, if you need any queries answering in that area. I can Brit-pick and, though I’m no expert, I’ve a fair knowledge of the Victorian era so can do Victori-picking too. If there’s something specific about the Victorian era you need to know and you haven’t been able to find the information, I’m a whizz with a search engine and am willing to have a rummage on your behalf.

At my best with a rating of G or PG. I’ll say I can help one person with a fic up to 5,000 words, but I’m flexible there.

Wanted: Beta for non-native

Hello!

I am in need of a beta because I am a non-native. My OS is ca 4-5k, rated PG, Johnlock. I would describe it as "slice of life"; so, no case fic/ACD rework/PWP etc but more domestic @211B. It's very Victorian ;)

I am aware of the fact that it might be a bit more challenging & time-consuming to help out a non-native. So: Thanks so much in advance.

Thank you!

Will send it to you as soon I am finished. The outline & first draft is done. So, hopefully, in the next couple of days.
