I will be a beta reader for stories of Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Holmes or Sherlock, Merlin, Doctor Who, Supernatural and Being Human. If you'd like me to beta-read a story that isn't in one of those categories, just message me to see if I've read or watched it, because it would take far too long to mention every single thing that I'm familiar with! I read widely and watch a lot of movies, so chances are that I'll have at least a rough idea of whatever category your story's in. When betareading, I can either give an overall summary with specific points or go through line by line and pick out points I think needs changing; it's entirely up to you. I may seem harsh at times, but I'm very thorough and always try to mention the good points in a story. I can be a bit of a perfectionist, and getting writing just right is important to me.

I'm very good with grammar and spelling and recognising and fixing awkward wording. Prose writing needs pace and rhythm as well as poetry, and I'm very capable at making sentences run smoothly so the narrative runs true. I've also been told that I'm good with dialogue and description and I always try to give examples for how I think something could be improved. I write madness well - in other words, I'm good with crazy - and different tenses.

I am a stickler for grammar, and I can seem very harsh. Keeping characterisation consistent isn't always my strongest point, but I always do lots of research to make up for this.

I would prefer betareading oneshots or short stories instead of huge novel-length projects as my attention can wander. Any genre or subject matter is fine, though.

No smut or slash.
