Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hello :D As a beta reader, I'm friendly. I like to be at least semi-professional, and i'm good at it, but I also like to be welcoming. I'm very flexible and can easily find mistakes and discrepancies. When I beta, I like to know what you are thinking. If I do, I can do my job more efficently and accurately. I expect you, the author, to speak freely. If i do something you disagree with or you feel the need to justify why you do something, I'm more than happy to comply or explain myself. Over all, I want to do a good job and I want you and your readers to be happy. I really don't like it when an author disappears for long periods of time without any warning. It is difficult to work with someone if there is lack of communication.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
i'm pretty good at grammar (99th percentile) and character relationships and things of that sort. really, i'm good at a lot of things. i'm a dictionary, so i can tell when a word is used properly or if another one would be a better choice. i can be quite the stickler for punctuation, though i tend to overuse commas. i'm much better at helping you with your story than trying to work on mine.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
i'm not an exceptional speller. words often look wrong to me so i will constantly refer back to a dictionary, just in case. also, like mentioned before, i tend to overuse commas. i put them where i feel they are necessary, though i will often look over a work plenty of times just to make sure any unnecessary ones are extracted. still, there are some that will get by me.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
i prefer romance. shounen-ai and yaoi romances to be exact. i adore them. i like to be familiar with the fandom that i'm about to be beta-ing a fanfic for, and i like to like the pairing, though that isn't an absolute must as a good story is a good story.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
i don't particularly like horror and i don't like certain couples. i do not like fics with no plot (well, smut is good sometimes). i do not like crack pairings (with few exceptions). there are few things i don't like. ask me, and i will answer. i'm willing to make some exeptions.
