Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am a reader and a lover of many stories, and I admire the creativity of many authors on this site. This was what attracted me to FanFiction.net in the first place: there was a bit of originality in everything. It stood as witness to me that everyone is endlessly coming up with storylines, thus there is no reason someone will not be able to come up with an original plot. It is possible to make an existing plot original. One thing you must know: if your story does not interest me within its first chapter, I will not continue reading. When it comes to beta-reading, I suppose I will continue, but I shall give you advice on how to spice it up where necessary. I want your best, and I will push you to be your best. Everyone has that potential to be a good writer, some just need a push at the starting line.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
As I am an avid reader, I am a wonderful speller and have good grammatical skills. I do my best when it comes to just about everything when it calls for it, but I have discovered I do very well in keeping characters in character, first-person or third-person, and in description. Genre-wise, I find that Romance, Friendship, and even Family are my strengths, though I have a good sense of humor. I also have a gift for expressing emotions through my writing.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Even though I am a good writer, I find myself struggling with many difficulties others are wonderful at. When it comes to description, it depends on what it is I am describing that stumps me. Romance and friendship scenes I can do, but action and even adventurous scenes are a challenge. As humorous as I may be, in my writing, almost-always I have to watch the humor and to whom is being funny. I have a tendency to make characters go out-of-character because of such, but thankfully nowadays it's not as bad as it used to be.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I love many stories that have wonderful storylines, but as for the content, it just depends on how it's portrayed.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I will be honest here: I do not like slash fics at all. No, not even shoujo/shounen-ai, yaoi/yuri no matter how mild it is. I will not read it if any of those are in there. If I like the characters, but not the pairing, I will only go up to the friendship version of the shipping. Other than that, I have very few dislikes, so I will read a story if it interests me enough or unless I am asked to. If I get bored of it, I move on.
