Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hello, I'm Maddie.br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

I've been on fanfiction for a few years now, this is probably my third account. I've been a long time reader and writer so I have a decent idea as to what people want to read in stories. Writing is my passion, it's been something I have been doing since I was about seven years old and as you may have guessed I have gotten a lot better since then. I love helping people with their stories and I have been a beta for somewhere between ten to twenty people before, so I'm not inexperienced. If after reading my profile, you feel that I would be good enough to be your beta, you should message me. I will most likely reply with a few questions, just to get the feel of your story. The questions will most likely be about your plot, your characters, pairing, where you plan on going with the story, and so on. I'm willing to be a one time beta, or your regular beta, either is fine with me. I'm on everyday, even during the school months so you don't need to worry about me keeping you waiting. I respect literature, it is one of my favorite things and I look over other people's stories with the care that I would my own, I would do my best to help you make your story the best it can be.

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
My strengths would have to be spelling, wording, characters and plots. I'm quick to see spelling errors, improper wording or wording that just doesn't make sense, I'm good with characters, picking out the Mary Sues and those who I just feel aren't really in character. Characters are probably my strongest strength. I'm also pretty good with plots. I can see if they make sense and if they don't I pick up on things rather quickly. Another strength that I have for plots is I'm good at making them, I can always help you come up with new things to add to your story it it is needed. If I feel that something doesn't make sense I'll show this to you and suggest things that could make more sense or tell you how I think it could be fixed. You won't have to use them, no, but I will just give you that extra help.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My biggest weakness is without a doubt punctuation. Sometimes I'm really good at it but at others it just frustrates the hell out of me. But I do try my best and admittedly I have gotten better at it in the past few months, but I still have a few little slips. I'm not good at mystery/detective kind of stories. I've tried before but I really didn't do well, it was a while ago, however, so I'm up to trying another if you would really like.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I proffer to beta for things that I know a lot about. My strongest topic would be Harry Potter. For Harry Potter I am picky about pairings. I will NOT do HP/GW, or RW/HG. I know that's weird because they are the traditional characters but I never felt like they should have been. I won't do any pairings that involve Ginny, Cho or Wormtail. That's about it, after that I will do nearly any pairing. I would give you a list of my favorite fandoms but I have so many, so I won't waste your time listening them all. The point is, I'm all for Harry Potter stories. br /br /

I would also do well with a Twilight fanfiction.br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

For twilight my standards are pretty basic. I won't do any stories that are vampire/wolf. Not even Renesmee/Jacob. I don't really like the wolves, but I am more than happy to do the Vampire stories. I'm not really picky about the preference here but I'm not really into stories where they're all human, I would like the vampires to actually be vampires. But I'm completely fine with vampire/human. Although I don't like the wolves, I may make an exception for Jacob stories, even if it is with a vampire. But please don't try doing the Jacob/Reneesme, as I said. I can't stand that. br /br /

Ugly Betty.br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

I can do pretty much any show on the family channel. It's sad but I can.br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

I can do both of the Suite Life shows, but I prefer the Suit Life on Deck.br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

I'm very capable of Hannah Montana, but I will not do Liley. Not gonna happy. I have a huge preference for Mikiley though. br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

I would do Wizards of Waverly place without trouble. Alex is my favorite. I won't do any stories with Harper. She creeps me out. br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

And I can do Zoey 101 but I will only do Zoey/Chase, Quin/Logan, Micheal/Vanessa. Yes the original pairings, I like them the way they are.br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

I'm not the biggest fan, but I can do The Latest Buzz. But the only pairing that I think I could really do for it would be Rebecca and Noah.br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

I would be thrilled to beta for a Life With Derek story, only Casey x Derek, though.br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

If there are any Disney shows that I haven't mentioned, that you are wondering about, feel free to ask.br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

These aren't all of what I can do, but if there isn't anything here on what you're looking for, go ahead and ask me and I'll just let you know if I'm up for it or not.

Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I won't do anything that I haven't read/seen before. It makes it really difficult, almost impossible.br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

I don't do ANY anime. At all.br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

I said I can do most shows on family but I will NOT do Naturally Sadie, That's so Raven/Cory in the house, or Phil of the future. Sorry kids.
