Beta offering - planning post

[teaotter]

I thought it would be awesome to have a post here at the comm of people who'd be willing to beta other people's Guardian fanworks, and the mods have kindly agreed to let me put one together.

Before I do, I want to know -- what kind of information should I get from people willing to beta? I can put together a form for people to fill out for the sake of consistency.

So far, I've thought of:

User name
Preferred contact information (email, chat, whatever you want to use for beta, etc.)
Source(s) (drama/novel/RPF)
Crossovers or AUs? (yes/no/maybe, under X circumstances, contact me first, etc.)
Types of work you're willing to beta (art, fic, podfic, etc.)
Language(s)
Feedback you're specifically good at (encouragement, color, structure, spelling and grammar, sex scenes, etc.)
Do you feel comfortable giving feedback on Chinese language/culture?
Limitations (nothing incomplete, nothing over X words or minutes, no explicit sex or violence, nothing focused on Y character, etc.)
General likes

Any other suggestions?

Oh what a great idea! I think the categories are fine.
