Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Just be ready for criticism and take it with a grain of salt. Most likely, my suggestions and changes are not going to have anything to do with you, as a writer. So, that being said, I'm very honest and I'm picky about Canon characters. So, if they seem off, I may change them, and send you a copy of both yours and mine. Be patient, I have a job and a strict gym regiment. So, I only have a couple of hours a day to beta/write my own stories. Thanks!
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I excel in grammar. I'm a grammar nazi, some might say. So, if you're not the best at catching little mistakes in your writing, I'm the person who can probably do that for you. People make mistakes out of excitement. I do it all the time. Don't worry, if you do. I'm also a stickler for canon characters being portrayed in character. So, you can come to me simply for that, if necessary. Just let me know what you want me to look for.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I get excited, while writing, and I make mistakes. That may also hold true for reading a really well written fanfic. However, I triple check anything I read and I check it by the paragraph. My main weakness is punctuation, since I take my own liberties with it. So, if you don't like my punctuation changes, feel free to ignore them.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I prefer Character/OC stories, more than anything. It's nothing against slash fiction. I just don't enjoy reading it, as much, and it might hinder my ability to catch mistakes. I feel like it tends to take the characters out of the characters, if you will. They become OOC more than anything, and I believe it's easier for me to correct an OOC problem, if the canon is simply interacting with new people/characters.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Slash fiction (except Destiel fiction). Currently not interested in doing The Walking Dead. I know my main story with the most views/reviews is a TWD fan fiction, but I've just lost a bit of creative interest toward the show with the new season. I apologize in advance. Crossovers are also difficult for me. So, please, ask before I get ahold of the story, if you're doing a crossover, to make sure I'm familiar enough with both canons to properly proofread.
