We are a small reciprocal beta reading group looking for a new member.
The group has been running about 9 months now. The aim of the group is to provide story feedback, proof-reading and general advice on writing to each other. The current group consists of three members.

We've found that having two other people to read stories has worked quite well as it gives us access to different opinions. However, group members are at times busy with life and unable to contribute and differing levels of outputs can also cause issues (we don't require strictly equal levels of reciprocity, people are generally happy to pitch in with extra reading when they can, but thing have become a little unbalanced).
Each member has their own likes and dislikes, but in general as a group we tend to avoid the more extreme categories - we would prefer to avoid strong Non-Consent, unusual Fetish, or revenge Loving Wives authors. That's not to say you can never write in those categories, but if any of them are your main area the group might not be a good fit. (As a general rule, it is upto each group member to decide what they will and won't look at). We tend to prefer more story-based works rather than pure pornography, though we haven't set a line, and would prefer mostly shorter (<20k) works.
If you are interested please either reply to this thread, or send a private message to me (TheRedChamber) through the Lit messaging system. A new group member will need to be approved by all the existing members and links to your work would be helpful. Membership would be trial at first, at least until we've done one cycle of looking at your work and you beta reading for someone else.
