Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Now I've never been a beta reader before so, I'll makes this quick. Now I want to be a sort of adviser, I won't direct your story away from the route that you want to take. However, judging is the greatest tool in the beta readers/reviewers arsenal, so expect a lot of that. I find myself skipping over quite a few details, but I'll try to make an effort to read up on the details and help you in fleshing them out. What I expect is simply fun while reading the story. The fun can be caused by anything really. If the story can catch my interest, you can bet I'll read that.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'll be honest. I don't have a lot of experience on writing/betareading stories, but I do read a lot of fanfictions every day. I will try to assist in any area that I can, and offer friendly sage advice. Also, when writing in first perspective I will try to help you make your characters behave more realistically, as in less standing around doing nothing and more emotions (I don't promise anything though.)
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Right, where to begin. English being my second language, I will have to look up big and confusing words (Seriously i didn't know what exactly did 'duly noted' mean). Spelling is also a problem, but that's what spell check is for. My grammar could also use some work so that's that. Next thing, as mentioned above I tend to skip a few details, but for the sake of it I'll read every detail just for you.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
SI (Self-Inserts) these types of stories intrigue me. What would happen if a person from this universe appeared in another one. It's just interesting to see the results. I do like stories with humor and a little mystique thrown in. And from there, literally anything else (except the things mentioned below).
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Mary Sue's. Of any kind. It just makes me sick that a person comes in out of nowhere, blows open everything, doesn't even get a scratch and everyone starts fangirling on him, without any explanation. It's just... not fun for me. I also dislike fanfictions that are basically hook up simulator. No you cannot go make up a character that everyone loves instantly and them proceeds to bang your favorite character. It's just feels unnatural and shouldn't even be a thing. Lemons. No I do not want to see two people bang, that should be done off-screen (off-text). Drop some hints as to what happened in that bedroom, don't detail the whole thing to me.
