Beta Resources

NOT A MOD

So, betas are pretty awesome.  I was thinking lets have a resource post where we can just post our AO3 screennames and what we can beta.  It could be canon, geography, languages, law, grammar, etc.  The purpose of adding your AO3 screenname is so you don't actually end up betaing your own gift.
