Name: Jack, or Tilly if you prefer

Experience/Brief Bio: I am a 25-year-old library science major with a background in classical studies; I've been in fandom for going on 6 years now, mostly as a fic writer (albeit not the world's most prolific one). I've done a little bit of editing work -- odd jobs proofreading someone's thesis, mostly -- though I'm hardly a professional editor by any means. I also draw, make jewelry, and play an enormous amount of tabletop RPGs. As far as reading goes, I mostly like fantasy (of the YA and weird variety), old-fashioned adventure novels, historical fiction of certain eras, and trashy crime novels from the turn of the century. I also play a lot of old video and retro video games, and World of Warcraft. If you're interested in my work, my site is here.
Strengths: I am pretty strong on grammar, and I also consider myself relatively good at picking up awkward sentence structure and dialogue. Also, I know Latin.
Weaknesses: I am enormously forgiving with plot inconsistencies (I think it comes of reading too many pulp serials), so if you want a harsh continuity review, I'm probably not your best choice. I also don't particularly like uber-minimalist writing, so I am probably not great at picking up the subtleties of that particular type of style.
Preferred Genres: Not a big fan of crack, though humor is fine. I am not especially fond of really long fics, but I am willing to read them if you give me ample time and warning.
Fandoms: My main fandoms are Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Raffles: The Amateur Cracksman, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and Sherlock Holmes. I am familiar with a LOT of video game and literary fandoms, as well as some anime, so don't hesitate to ask! However, I barely ever watch TV, so I probably can't do TV fandoms at all.
Preferred Ratings: Anything is all right, though I don't have a great deal of experience writing NC-17 fic myself.
Would Rather Not: I am pretty flexible as far as kinks and squicks go, but I'd rather not beta super-lengthy works or poetry.
Original Fiction/Nonfiction: Yes, though I'm mostly interested in historical fiction, horror, and fantasy. I am probably least interested in the science fiction and literary fiction genres. I am also willing to beta OC descriptions.
