Seeking Fest Beta

primeideal(n.b. I am aware that there are "beta wanted" communities and I'll be glad to advertise there if need be! It's just that I've written for a couple fests with reveals coming up soon and I think there's a chance people will be trundling by to look at this page.)
So, I'm a longtime fanfic reader and writer but only these last few months have I jumped deep into the waters of fests--mostly Harry Potter stuff--and I could use a beta for the fests that require one. I'd love to have someone whom I can go to in and out, but if you only want to do one fic, that's fine too.
I've had a prolific month so the fics I'd like read soon are sort of on the long side: 11-15k range. There's three of them (all Harry Potter), for the Minerva Fest, Time Travel Fest, and (this one is not due until later) Creature Fest.
I won't go into the details in public since these are anon fests, but suffice it to say I generally emphasize gen over ships, but would want someone open to reading (femme)slash. (The most 'shippy fic of these three happens to be het, though.) My fic is heavy on dialogue, often at the expense of detailed description, and I usually try for a humorous approach. There's no real sexual content here, nor is there likely to be in any future fics I write. None of these have much in the way of character death, although I can't promise the same if there are any more in the future.
I like to think that my spelling and grammar are quite good, so hopefully you won't get bogged down in those details. There's a link to my ao3 account on my profile. But like I said--these are longish, so no hard feelings if it's not your thing!
If interested, feel free to comment here or email me: graciebarn256 AT gmail DOT com.
