I am pretty much always looking for first readers and/or beta readers. The difficulty is that I may take months or even years to finish something and actually need more help the longer something takes rather than less. I'm also looking for help with inconsistencies in characterization, with failures to fire Chekov's gun, with things that are perfectly clear to me but need elaboration, possibly major elaboration (adding two or three thousand words to fix one of those is not out of the question), with structural stuff like needing to start in a different place or to end in a different place or to actually show something I had off screen. SPaG isn't as much of a concern for me. It's definitely helpful, but if I don't get it, the story will likely be mostly all right anyway.

I write in a lot of different fandoms. I'm still writing a lot of Weiss Kreuz and Chronicles of Narnia. I've started writing several Chronicles of Amber stories. Most other fandoms, I write once and never go back, and I only tend to do really big fandoms for Remix.

I write gen, het, and m/m. I expect I'll get to f/f eventually. I just haven't at this point.

I write all ratings.

I write a fair amount of non-con in Weiss Kreuz and have started writing that in Amber, too. Other fandoms are much, much less likely to have that, but when I go for explicit sex, even if it's consensual, it's likely to be kind of messed up in terms of the participants not being able to relate in a healthy way because I'm more interested in psychological complications than in sex.

I have about eight novel length WIP, but I only tend to work on each of them sporadically. I'm more likely to work on something if I know that I have a first reader who wants to see what I come up with. Most of them are Weiss Kreuz, but there's a Harry Potter one and a Rurouni Kenshin story and a mish-mash DC universe one.
