Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I've never been an official beta-er before, but I have a good idea of what to do. I mainly look for grammatical and spelling mistakes that can take a reader out of an otherwise great story, and do not like to make too many suggestions for style/ plot changes unless asked. If asked, I'll be glad to help with anything I can though!

I'm excited to read many new stories and authors, so please don't hesitate to message me if you need some help!

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
My strong suit is likely grammar and structure, as lame as that is. I can spot grammar and spelling errors from a mile away (usually), and I have a good head for effective conveyance of certain feelings, if that makes sense. At least, I hope I do.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weakness as a writer is likely that I have a hard time filling out chapters with anything more than the bare essentials of what I need to say. I really need to learn how to better flesh out my chapters, without having just pointless fluff that would get the reader bored quickly. Also, is a weakness that I worry too much about punctuation and grammar?
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I would really prefer to beta fandoms that I am a part of, especially Yu-Gi-Oh. I don't have to have written a story for it, per se, but I feel it's better for both the author and I if I have seen/read the base for the fanfiction I am beta-ing. Then, not only will I be more passionate about editing the work, but I'll have a better feel for what kind of audience the work is geared toward. I'll beta pretty much anything, if you ask nicely enough.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
There are certain types of characters I really dislike, but whether my dislike for them would prevent me from reading and checking a story depends on the fandom/story. Very likely, it will not, but if you are sending me a Yu-Gi-Oh story, I respond better to slash pairings than anything.
