I mostly read for characterization or basic plot. I try to predict what a character would or wouldn't do in a situation depending on the description given thus far, and whether diction and word choice are applicable to certain situations. I'm pretty good with grammar and great with spelling, but when I beta I pay the most attention to how the characters themselves respond to plot. Anyone who wants me to beta for them can be any level of a writer, but I ask that you have enough passion to continue your work even if it gets hard or I say something that you don't like. I will constructively criticize, but I definitely don't send flames. I'd like to beta for someone that's versatile, someone who I can work with and share ideas with without them getting upset if something conflicts with their original ideas.

My strengths are spelling and description. I'm good at writing descriptive imagery. I also try to look for the best possible way to convey certain feelings or situations, for example: This setting is good, but could it be better if... etc. Stuff like that. Um... I don't really know what else to put here. But I'm in the middle of proofreading my friend's novel and my grandmother's next novel, so I've got a pretty good amount of experience with this sort of thing. Many of my classmates also come to me when they want someone to proofread their papers for English.

Weaknesses for me are grammar. I'm good with basics like run-ons and fragments, but the more complex ideas are completely lost upon me. Also, if I'm not very familiar with a topic and don't really understand the subject material, then I can't provide a whole lot of input. I also have some issues with organization, and whenever i try to write a one-shot it ends up being a full-length fic. So I have problems with condensing into a short story.

I love love love romance, but I'll read anything. I also love Harry Potter stories, but again, I'd be willing to read anything. I also like Lord of the Rings, anything Final Fantasy, Shadow Hearts, Fullmetal Alchemist, InuYasha... lots of stuff. I do ask, however, if it's something that I'm not familiar with, please explain the basics of the plot so that I know what I need to to be able to add my advice to the story.

Naw, I'm willing to read just about anything, as long as the author has a passion for writing. Hit me with whatever ya got.
