Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hi, my name here is Nixiexgrey and I'm offering my services to improve the works of those who are looking for help in some zones. I admit that I'm not perfect and that I do have some faults even in my own writing, but I'm willing to help those are in need of it and are willing to open up to me. WARNING: I have tendencies to be brutally honest. Proceed with caution.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I tend to be honest, which can be my strength and my downfall. I try to stick to being positive because as an aspiring writer, I know that some people criticize too harshly and it can be discouraging. I am not a grammar nazi, but my friends tell me that I am if it gets to that point, so this is a warning to all of those who consider consulting me for help!
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
As I said before, I tend to be honest–which can be my downfall and my strength. I do try to be as positive as possible, but if someone is going to submit something to me that is so horrendously written I can't even begin to point out where one flaw ends and another begins, then we have some serious problems.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I like to proofread fanfictions to books that I've read before so that way I can familiarize myself with the characters and whatnot, so if you do try to contact me, it's best you don't waste either of our times and tell me straight-up which book your fanfiction is based off of.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I try not to discriminate so there are only two types of stories I will not proofread:

1. A fanfiction of a book I haven't read before. I like to read stories based on books I know because that way I already know the characters and whatnot. If it's a story I haven't read before and you convince me to read the book, then I'll give it a shot. But until then, the rule stays.

2. I cannot read fanfictions that are so poorly written, my eyesight goes bad at the sight of it. I know we all aren't perfect and there shouldn't be such high expectations on us to write flawless stories, but if you don't know what a comma or apostrophe is, we have some serious issues.
