User name: crimsonswirls
Preferred contact information (email, chat, whatever you want to use for beta, etc.): email, twitter, chat, skype, gDocs.
Types of work you're willing to beta: Art
Source(s) (drama/novel/RPF/combinations): Any
Crossovers or AUs?: All goes
Do you feel comfortable giving feedback on Chinese language/culture?: No, I know practically nothing about China or its culture, sorry.

Feedback you're specifically good at (encouragement, color, structure, spelling and grammar, sex scenes, etc.): Constructive criticism for practically anything art-wise. I know how to give constructive criticism with lots of encouragement.

Limitations: I can beta anything from sketches to almost finished works, whatever easiest for the artist. Themes like gore or problematic things like noncon is OK but no drugs, scat or watersports related content.

General likes: Everything goes, but I love backgrounds.

Anything else you want to say: My way of betaing is redpenning and doing bullet lists about what could be improved and how.
