Hi, folks. I'm Mary, a typical middle-aged wife and mother who loves fan
fiction. I've read stories in several fandoms but mostly SG-1, SGA, The
Sentinel, NCIS, and, of course, Mag7. I've also dabbled in Buffy, X-Files, and
Firefly.

I'm very familiar with the Mag7 TV series and have seen every episode more than
once (thank God for DVD's.) I'm also familiar with most of the common AU's.

I'm partial to slash but I also read gen. I don't usually read het for fun but
I have nothing against it and would have no problem checking over a het story.
I'm not sensitive or squeamish. I'm OK with violence, profanity, and graphic
sex. I'd prefer to avoid deathfic, though.

I have a degree in English. I am very familiar with English spelling and
grammar. I have no talent for writing fiction but I'm a good editor. I'm open
to working with anyone who needs me no matter what they're looking for in a beta
reader from just proofreading to assisting someone who has great ideas but
little familiarity with writing standard English.

I decided to volunteer because I've tried to read several stories with
facinating premises that were ruined for me by typos, incorrect word usage,
missing words, and sentences that were just impossible to understand because of
the grammar. I finally realized that instead of cursing the darkness I should
just light a damn candle.

Thanks for reading.

Write on!
