Additional Strength Information: For the most part, I usually just stick to the grammar part of editing. I understand if people don't want my opinion on the story itself, just strictly grammatical errors. Please tell me if you want my help with plot advancement and characterization, because it will be gladly given. Please tell me if you DON'T want my help with such things, and I'll keep my comments to myself.
Beta Style: Flexible With Comprehensive Critique
Time Taken To Return A 4000 Word Document: 1 - 2 weeks
Additional Comments: Im a Drarry shipper; therefore, Im more likely to edit your story if its Harry/Draco. Though, I'm a sucker for femmeslash.
I've got one permanent author I edit for whose first language isn't English, and I've edited for a few others who weren't native English speakers either, so I've got a bit of a handle on that. I've also had this experience with ADD and ADHD writers, so that isn't a problem either. At the moment I'm not taking on huge, epic-length fics due to my workload, but short-chaptered stories and one-shots are just fine. :)
Additional Help I Can Offer: English Not First Language and Extra Help: e.g. Learning Disabilities
