Help! Our Secret Santa Exchange needs beta-readers!
Hi everyone!
I'm sure you have all heard of the Secret Santa Exchange by now. If not: Some of us are writing short fanfics for each other as Secret Santas. The fics will be posted in the forum like an advent calendar. (see here: )
But as some of us are not native speakers, we really need beta-readers who are not involved in the Exchange. I am hereby shamelessly appealing to your pre-christmas generosity. Please, if you would be willing to help, post your name here so our writers can contact you!

How could I not heard of this The Secret Santa Exchange? It's not that I would have participated. But the whole project sounds great. I hope more native speakers come forward to beta reading. Wish you guys all the best

Re: Help! Our Secret Santa Exchange needs beta-readers!
I'd like to offer to help. I have recently discovered fanfiction and love reading it. I'm a professional writer (stuff that would earn a tremendous BORING!! such as grants and proposals) and have spent a little time studying in London (so not completely deaf to British English).

Harry: ...And Mr. Holmes, the younger. You look taller in your photographs.
SH: I take the precaution of a good coat and a short friend.
