Though I do spend a considerable amount of time on them, I do not live my life on fanfiction sites. I will try to be available as often as possible, but be forgiving with any absences; I assure you they are for good reason. I am a very honest beta reader. I can be as harsh and blunt or as soft and reassuring as you need me to be, but I am completely truthful. Do let me know ahead of time, though, how blunt you want me to be with you, and please be willing to accept all criticisms and compliments alike. I want to help you write better, not beat you down or fluff you up. I will tell you HOW IT IS.

My grammar is proficient and my spelling very adept. I have a good sense of the 'big picture,' and can step back to give an overall perspective of the flow and feeling of the story. I can deal with details as well, and pinpoint what is causing problems or bettering the story, but my specialty is the big picture.

As I said, my grammar is proficient, but not excellent. In other words, I know which there/their/they're to use, but I couldn't be certain which of these to use in a particular sentence: lay, lie, laid, or lain. So if you want a beta that can tell you the strict rules of English grammar and correct your usage of them, I'm not likely your gal. I personally prefer more poetic language, which may mean putting aside proper grammar.

I'd prefer to work with stories based on books, movies, etc. that I have at least heard of, but beyond that my preferences are irrelevant and will not affect my willingness to help.

Suggestive material is alright, I will NOT beta any explicit sex scenes; if there is one, I will simply go around it and ignore it. I would prefer not to beta any incest, slash, or femslash. I'm not a homophobe; I'm simply old-fashioned, and would appreciate it if people respected that.
