pkrosche_PK's offerings:

pkrosche_PK Auction #1

Organizations this auction benefits: Bidder's choice of any of the listed groups (See full list.)

Type of fanwork: Fan labor
Subtype(s): Betaing, Culture picking (Brit-picking, etc), Specialist expertise (about a profession, hobby, subculture, etc)
Fandom(s): Any
Highest rating: E
Length/scope: 10 - 20k words.
Minimum Bid: $15

Fan labor details: Culture picking/specialist expertise: American, Great Lakes Midwestern (lower)-middle class experience, scientific knowledge (biology, endocrinology, genetics, microbiology, immunology, infectious disease ecology, virology, entomology, others as special interests but without formal training), higher-education academic experience, laboratory research experience

Betaing: spag, characterization checks, reading for plot and grammar, cheerleading (also willing to provide alpha reading for fandoms/pairings I'm familiar with, which I define as being involved in the development of the story and which involves more in-depth conversations about characterizations, plot, etc.)

Relevant background/experience: I'm a midwestern-born American (rural great lakes state) who has a post-secondary (Master's) degree in molecular biology, microbiology, and biochemistry and have worked in an academic research lab for the past 10+ years. I now live in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, so I can talk about/fact check as needed for that region as well. I love thinking about the sci-fi future of science and medicine and always have such a fun time coming up with the cool science behind some plot-phenomena in a story.

I'm also up for doing a more general alpha/beta read through a piece. I've beta read a lot for other fandom events, so am good at working on a deadline. Alpha reading to me means assisting more with flow, characterization, plot, etc. while beta reading is less development/making sure things are working and more about catching spag/plot holes.

Notes about labor offered: I write fic (ao3 linked as portfolio) and of the works I have published already, I believe the following have the most science/medical technobabble (all Star Trek) within their depths: "Eta IV" https://archiveofourown.org/works/35665300, "Waecha Flu" https://archiveofourown.org/works/34374211, "The Mines of Ashkanac" https://archiveofourown.org/works/41965323, and the thought-piece "Gene's Interview with Sarek...I have some thoughts." https://archiveofourown.org/works/37437232.

Especially interested in: Teen Wolf (Sterek), Star Trek (TOS, AOS, SNW; Spirk aka K/S), The Witcher (Geraskier), The Expanse, BBC Sherlock (Johnlock), BBC Merlin (Merthur), Harry Potter (Drarry), James Bond movies (00Q), The Evil Dead (Arthur/Ash), Re-Animator (Danbert), Underworld, Daredevil, Venom (Symbrock), MCU (Stucky).

While I'm good with providing general science/med information to any fandom that requires it (especially for sci-fi/fantasy angst and whump works!), for more in-depth assistance and alpha/beta reading above spag, I feel I'll only be able to do a great job if it's from one of the above listed fandoms, but I'm open to reading/assisting with other pairings beyond those specifically listed.

Unwilling to address: Squicks include BDSM, dom/sub, bathroom kinks, but I am willing to edit works with them if it's not overly represented in the piece.

Special interests: Canonically trans or nonbinary characters, Unhappy endings, Ambiguous endings
