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: http://sherlock.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=3790 )

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!

Lovely, dear, thanks 

Eventually everyone will support Johnlock.   Independent OSAJ Affiliate

... but there may be some new players now. It’s okay. The East Wind takes us all in the end.

Sam - "I'm your brother, Dean, if you ever need to talk about anything with anybody, you got someone right here next to you."

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).
