OT: Looking for beta by

I've just finished proofreading my latest fic and was wondering if anyone would mind betaing it for me, since I don't trust my own eyes to catch all the mistakes.
Beware, it's an R-rated yaoi non-con fic, if any of those squick you. -

If it's a fandom I don't know then I'll be no good on the content, but I'm happy to lend my eagle eye for spelling, punctuation and grammar, and also for overall consistency and comprehension. Got googledocs? *hopes the answer is "yes" as is still resisting installing Word* If not, chuck it over anyway, and I'll head to my dad's tomorrow for a dekko. birgit dot fishwife at gmail dot com, in case you didn't already know.

I've got googledocs, and I don't write in Word anyway. .txt files from NotePad are less cluttering on my hard drive. *looks at documents folder* When there aren't a few hundred of them anyway.

I'll be eagerly awaiting it then. And here's hoping I can stop dancing and scalding myself long enough to read.

A few minor punctuation changes made, the spelling of "occasionally" fixed, and a few comments in blue.

This is why I, and everyone else who wants to write fiction for that matter, needs a beta. I know what I'm trying to say in a sentence, but someone who wasn't in my head while I was writing it doesn't and can point out what doesn't make sense to someone else. Thank you.
Are you still looking for some good, old-fashioned exorcism mission candidates by the way, because there's a Starsky and Hutch fic linked on fanficrants that might qualify.
I say might, because I don't know the canon. Someone more qualified to judge than me should take a look at it. -
don't know it either, unfortunately by

It's parodied in the video for the Beastie Boys' Sabotage, I think. Beyond that my knowledge of Starsky and Hutch is so small as to be invisible to the naked eye.
If you spot anything in Doctor Who, Torchwood, Star Trek, SGA, Robin Hood, or EastEnders, let me know. But aside from that I pretty much gave up on TV a long time ago, so my knowledge of all other TV canons is equally small. -
Torchwood, huh? You asked for it... by

The Contract
There is a darker side to Ianto's contract wich once discovered reigns madness on Jack/Ianto. Includes; Owen, Tosh, and Gwen as well. This is a very dark story. Be warned. Abuse, Anal, Angst, BDSM, D/s, Exhib, H/C, HJ, Humil, M/M, N/C, S&M, SH, Slave, Tort, Toys, Voy
Jack raping Ianto. Ianto's contract stating that he's Jack's personal sex toy. Jack RAPING Ianto! Since when was Ianto immune to retcon? Is that a bit of canon that I missed? JACK RAPING Ianto! He can't be, because he forgot all about Adam. The rest of the team knowing and only Gwen giving a damn. JACK RAPING IANTO! An elephant just came stomping up my stairs and I think the house might fall down around me.
Balance it out with this though:

One of these days I'll learn.
On the plus side, every horrible horrible fic you break my brain with is one less mission I have to trawl the Pit for. It's all good.
How about this? Can we have some OOC fluffy ridiculously sappy badslash that's completely consensual and NOT GRAPHIC? -

that ought to be easy. Just go the the Torchwood category on the pit. (not the uberpit). On any given page 2/3 of fics are "Janto". Statistics say that can't all be badfic, but statistics is just a very complex way of lying.

The summaries alone make me weep, I daren't click the actual links. And I just showed my housemate the DW season three finale and am having urges for goodfic in that area. Nevertheless, I shall try to be brave, um, later?

If I'm familiar with the series, I'd be willing to check it out. I have a soft spot for yaoi.

Gundam 00. I'm just looking for a technical beta though, not a characterisation beta. I know there's not many 00 fans around.
