Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am extremely good at catching spelling and/or grammar errors. When editing other peoples' stories, I tend to edit spelling/grammar-wise one chapter at a time, but I will read an entire story at least once if not twice (this doesn't take me as long as it sounds like) before making general plot suggestions. I may stop at certain points to point out major plot gaps, inconsistencies, or errors in one chapter or another, however. I generally expect stories to be of decent quality before they're sent to me to beta.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Spelling errors, grammar errors, etc. are my specialty when it comes to editing. I'm fairly good at catching inconsistencies as well, though I'm by no means perfect. I love magic theory, and will happily tell you if your "world rules" (the rules governing how your 'verse works) make sense in the canon-verse and compared to the rest of your story, or if they're completely disorganized and out of line. If a story is based on mythology, generally speaking I can point out errors in your mythological facts (Greek vs Roman names, etc.)
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have failed to catch inconsistencies in the past. I have also been known to miss plot holes until they're pointed out to me (or at least until I read/watch the story/show in question a half dozen times or so). I can at times get a little carried away with suspension of reality for the sake of a story.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Fantasy, sci-fi, adventure, they're all great. I like some romance, but it has to be well-written, so passing it by me may be a good way to tell if yours makes the cut - if I like your characters' romance, it's probably pretty darn good. I love anything based off of fairy tales or mythology. Happy endings are a good thing, but "fate's (read: author's) cruelty" to characters is too. High drama is always a win. Humor is a good thing too. My fandoms/books, movies, etc. I like are listed on my profile, but are NOT by any stretch of the imagination limited to those.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Hot-and-heavy romance or stories that rely on the romance generally aren't my style. I'm not typically into historical fiction, though there are some really really good realistic fictions I like. I refuse to read anything with detailed sexual scenes in it (fade in and out as appropriate, please and thanks). Some gore is fine, but nothing excessive, please. No creepypasta - that stuff gives me nightmares. Horror is a major no, for the same reason.
