What ho, good sorts!
I'm looking for a beta for the not-so-near future-- I and a pal have signed up for the AU Big Bang, and we're doing a crossover/fusion between the Jeeves Stories and the Dresden Files. It's set in the balmy late-20s-ish of the Jeeves stories, where everything is lovely and nothing is terrible, and the mighty epic death-and-angst battles of the 'Files are reduced to social squabbles, bruised egos, and broken engagements. It'll swap between two narrators-- Harold Blackstone Mesmer Dresden (prefers the nickname Mimsy, he's a brave soul) and our fine Bertie Wooster.
We're both rather rusty on our Jeeves, so although we're doing the requisite rereading, we'll need a Wodehouse beta in the worst way. Knowledge of the Dresden Files isn't required, as we'll try to make the characters explain themselves and tuck into the Jeevesverse organically, but it wouldn't hurt.
We've got all of the first half a chapter done, so there's no rush, but figured I'd ask if anyone was interested?
