Matching with canon isn't a huge deal (I've pretty much got the darn thing memorised, and any tiny details I'm not so worried about) it's more from a literary standpoint--har! Literary fanfiction!--like sentence structure, format, pacing, abuse of adverbs, nailing the feeling of a piece and being able to fill in any weak spots. That sort of thing. :3
I don't really aim for any time frame except when something is on deadline (and I do that like, once yearly). I'm used to Pond and she tends to take her time. She's so busy with school and work now that she can't do her usual beta for me so I'm all lost and fictionally naked. Aside from on RPS fic, I don't think I've posted anything without her going over it in years.
