Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I have many quirks that some find annoying.

I am a sucker for little details, having things true to the book/movie/manga/anime/play etc. I also hate when people have spelling mistakes, unless they are ones such as using the wrong word (using the word 'like' when 'as' should be used) or just the wrong meaning of the word (there, their, they're always come to mind).

My very few rules are:

1) PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE use spell-check before hand & read over your own work after spell-check, many common mistakes can be caught that way.

2) Do not, I repeat DO NOT use instant messaging, texting, short hand, or anything that is not the proper way to spell something (example: OMG or WTF/WTH? instead of 'oh my god' or 'what the f.uck/what the hell?'). The only exceptions to this are if the person actually says "OMG! What just happened?" instead of saying "Oh my god! What just happened?" and they actually say the letters instead of what they mean.

3) I will not check over poems, because I do not know if you have intended to have a lower case 'i' instead of an upper case one 'I'. I also would not know if spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes -or lack there of- is intentional or not.

See? I have little rules, and am happy to take on any project!

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I have several strengths, such as I enjoy reading and/or correcting fanfiction and original fiction, and I understand if you do not take my advice, as it is given compleately as a suggestion. I take pride in my writing, and reading others work.

I find spelling and grammar mistakes as something not to be ashamed of, but to be proud of, and handle them as puzzles, and I admit I am not always perfect with my spelling (I usually spell 'maybe' incorrectly, putting 'mabey' instead, even though I know it is spelt 'maybe').

I also take pride in little details, and I am always going back to the book or movie as a reference (I always go back to 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' to make sure I spell 'Marauder' right, I do the same thing with the first Harry Potter book I can find to make sure I spell 'Dumbledore' correctly, it has something to do with my pride and that I consider myself quite an avid Harry Potter fan -I was on the local news and in our city's newspaper for the seventh Harry Potter book, and my mom was quite happy because she could say that while most people's children would be up early waiting for a video game, her daughter was up at five thirty in the morning, showered & dressed, waiting for a BOOK to arive- and I also just enjoy small details most people miss.

My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have quite a short temper and a short attention span also, and sometimes I focus to much on trying to get things perfect and pay to much attention to small details, and this is good, but I also have many faults because of it. I have Aspergers Syndrome tendencies and get fixated on little things, up to the point my parents tell me to shut up. This actually helps me quite a bit, and I have learned to control it to an extent. My faults are useful somtimes, but are annoying to most people just get annoyed by me.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I will do any Harry Potter slash pairing that has Harry as the "submissive" partener, except for HP/RW, any Harry Potter crossover, as long as it is slash, and anything with S.E. Hinton's novels and Tamora Pierce, and anything second season onward with Glee, as I have never watched the first season besides the pilot episode, and anything Supernatural...
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Any thing not listed above, but if you ask I might consider it. I refuse to read anything with really stupid pairings (example: Ron Weasley and Harry Potter; they are the least likely couple ever! And coming from me, that's saying somthing!)
