Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hey Everybody! I have a real eye for grammar and spelling, and I know very well how difficult a story is to read without proper order or style. So, as a Beta I hope to be able to correct this for any person who needs my services! I expect people to have the utmost courtesy when I give suggestions or changes to a story. Rudness is not tolerated. If I make a change, there is a reason for it - I will not interfere with plot too much (Although I am great to bounce ideas off) but if I see a plothole, or mistake - I will ask about it/change it. I don't except CRACK fics - do they even need a beta?
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I easily pick up on themes, so as long as the characters and plot is semi well-formed, I can do almost any category of fic. I do however, specialize in Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Avatar, Disney, Anime/Manga, Slash/Yaoi and a whole bunch of cartoons. However, if there is need for it, I can always research any issues or stories I have no prior knowledge of. I'm also not shy to read stories with sex in them, or large amounts of violence/gore.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am not perfect, sometimes when I am tired, I make typos and mistakes too - so any author should check their work just as they're posting to make sure I didn't make any mistakes like thids. Yes, I did do that on purpose. I also do not well-like fics where the author has placed themselves within the story - I don't know why, and I'm sure some of them are quite well-written, but it just seems so tedious to me. Also, as I'm from the UK, some of my spellings may be different to what people in the US or Australia or NZ, etc. may use, so this is another thing that may seem off with my Beta-style. I am not a fan of any story that deals too graphically or brutally with child rape/torture/murder. I'm sorry it's just not nice.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Prefer Adventure stories and Romance. Love to read Harry Potter crossovers, but I don't mind too much. I also quite like stories that are a complete wreck - no offence meant, but I sort-of enjoy the challenge. :) I also like creature fics.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
CRACK FICS. YURI/Femslash.
