Your ¥10

We're looking to assemble a crack team of beta-reading superheros! If you have amazing editing skills, tell us about it using a paragraph or so in your best beta writing (i.e. no l33t, no netspeak, and no errors). In exchange, we'll send you a glossy new hardcover* one day.
Pardon the hoops, but it will help us to know that Philip memorized the name of every LotR character ever, and MelodiShine34 is an astrophysicist. You know, so we don't take MelodiShine34's word over Philip's on matters of The Silmarillion.

I'd like to critique:
content - I've read every book in the genre...and compared editions;
grammar - I copyedit my [national newspaper] over morning coffee;
the meta - my thoughts are so cosmic I need a second universe to contain them;
small details - did you know that in [movie] if you stop at 1:20:34 you can see an [item] in the background off by a foot?;
Japanese - not only do I dream in Japanese, I dream entirely in kanji;
authenticity - as a member of the illuminati, I know the when and where of every item in the world throughout the last 5000 years...and that item is wrong;
other academic specialty - my background in the anthropology of the sub-Saharan native peoples is a perfect match;
fun - the chapter really wasn't quite as bad as all these people said.

I am age 18+: Yes No

I read and agree to the Beta Terms: Yes No

I am human, not a robot (just type the affirmative that begins with Y).
