Firemagic and I have finally finished the first two chapters of our BBC Sherlock/Nanoha crossover, and we're looking for beta readers and Britpickers who know one or both of those fandoms.
Please reply with your email if you're interested, so we can add you to our gdoc. -

...I wonder if this is too far down the page for all to see. Hm.
Anyhoo, the third installment of the (Un)Intelligence series is ready for beta-reading! Two or three beta-readers should be able to cover this: it's five-ish pages in GDocs and clocks in at a little over 2000 words. Since my access to the internet is somewhat restricted right now, I might not answer your emails right away.
Any takers? Please leave a email address and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks!

I mastered the art of anime cramming in my weaboo phase, so I can get a semi-comprehensive grasp of Nonoha soon enough, and I enjoy BBC Sherlock. I am also an okay Britpicker; however, that's usually Lily's area, and if she doesn't catch it I am not likely to.

Ooh, mini-Berserk Defense Program by

There are 52 episodes, from three seasons (Original = 13 episodes, A's = 13 episode, StrikerS = 26 episodes), two movie adaptations (that are canonically movies in the anime-verse, propaganda-ish films that the main characters actually helped with), two ongoing mangas, two video games... Yeah, it's a big franchise.
This fic takes place in the six-year timeskip between A's and StrikerS, so you don't really need to do much more than watch the anime. -

I am most likely the last person you are looking for. by

I know neither of those fandoms, have a tendancy to miss grammar mistakes, and have no been around long enough to build up any reputation other than, "He's fun, but can't spell too well."
HOWEVER
I am a story critic, that is what drew me into the PPC in the first plase. You lot get angry over grammar I might not catch, but I can rant and rave on a story's quality much sooner. If I see a fic has a promasing story with bad grammar and structuraly poor writing, I will be far more likly to help. However, throw in too many memes, plot holes or mary sues, and I will rip into a story relentlessly. Even if it is original. (end rant)
Perhaps a person who can look at the fic with a completely open mind to check for plot holes or confusing aspects of the story would be helpfull, to check for holes in a reader's ability to understand. Afterall, don't want a Nahona fan who knows next to nothing about Sherlock, vice versa, or a fan who has thus far only seen some episodes to be completely out in the blue.
Still, if you don't think I am the kind of editor you are looking for, that's completely understandable. Just extending the offer.
