Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Well... I'm technically a beta reader now, so I figured I'd make a profile and all that. I mean I actually like beta-ing, so I don't mind. I can beta for any number of things, really, as long as I watched/read it. I'm not really expecting any requests, I don't have a lot of experience yet, and I'm just writing this because I can. If you DO want me to be your beta though, I'd be glad.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm trilingual, but I doubt that helps unless it's for translations. I'm a secret Grammar Nazi but I TRY not to be too irritated by people's spelling (I'm not very fluent in chatspeak), and I have overdeveloped vocabulary-superpowers because of all the obscure french words I know. I'm fairly good at characterization and keeping things canon, although I can't really promise anything.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm slooooow. It takes me a while to reply. And English isn't my first language, so I sometimes get some expressions wrong, or I use words that make sense in French but not in English (doesn't really occur if it's only for a beta reading, but still). I'm also a nit-picker, which tends to be annoying. I might not exactly be helpful for story ideas unless you specifically ask for some.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I don't care. Though I have more experience with angst than with nauseatingly sweet & fluffy fics, I like both.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Again, I don't care. As long as your fic isn't about some weird ship (i.e. Draco Malfoy/Obi Wan Kenobi), I'm fine with it.
