In other fandoms I've asked on my own LJ for a beta, but I always feel a bit awkward about it, because do you accept on a first come, first served basis or who you think will suit you best or take them all or what? And that's if anyone is even interested in beta reading. When I wrote a fic for the epic Small Acts verse I figured since it was

Which is odd, because as I beta I don't mind if people PM me or outright ask me if I'll beta read for them. I'm flattered that they've asked :) My standard disclaimers for being a beta reader is that I'm thorough, as in I comment on all kinds of things worse than when I comment on posted fics, and that because of that if it's anything over 500 words I also make no promises as to how speedy I'll be. If they want a basic going over I can be faster.
I like to get a dialogue going with writers as well, to debate changes and look over their fic more than once. When I've had a beta reader myself most of them have been suprised if I've asked them to do a second read through.
