Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
So loving to read and write I turned to this site, and I love reading other peoples work, and telling them what I think. Disclaimer, I am pretty honest, and some people don't like that, though I will try to never criticize something that doesn't need it. I am pretty anally retentive about grammar, and spelling, so if you are not, be prepared. I will never try to change the idea of the story, or where you want to take it, unless you ask for it. Pick me!
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I have always been good with spelling and grammar as I said before, so if you are looking for another set of eyes to scan over it, I am willing and able. Also I have a fascination with words, and have and eidetic memory so I can use crazy big words for smarter characters or if you simply wish to confuse your readers :) I'm also beginning to dabble in some darker fics that I have yet to publish, but I have been told that they are quite good if that is what you are looking for.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I use commas obsessively, and you would think that a grammar nut like me would drive myself crazy doing that...well I do :) Isn't that funny, but I will always go back and un-comma my comma-ed sentences, and when I get going I tend to write intricate and complicated sentences, so if it's too much just let me know and I'll backtrack. Plus sometimes I procrastinate, which is a bad habit I know, but sometimes I can't help it and it just slips out, but I'm thinking that other people depending on me will help me not do that so much.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I will try and do just about anything. I have been told I have a quick, dry whit that is just dripping with sarcasm, but I also do good with writing "cute" scenes between people.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Probably anything that has to do with smut or is rated "M" for that reason, sorry but it's not my thing.
