Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Above all I am honest. I read with the intent to improve. I don't really care about "canon" as it were. It's fanfiction, digression is to be expected. Continuity of story is more important. I don't mind giving ideas and don't care if you use them or not. It's all about improving.br /

br /

I expect a "mature" relationship. This means feel free to disagree with me, just be grown up about it. Profanity in your story is fine, just don't direct it at me, you' re not paying for my services keep that it mind.br /

I am one course shy of a BA in English, and already have a Bachelors in another field. So pleae at least do some of the minor revisions yourself, spellchecker isn't that hard to use. Of course it doesn't catch everything and that's what I am for. Don't submit stuff in point form.br /br /

I don't really want to do oneshots, they are short. I prefer multi chapter monsters that are going somewhere. The key there is going somewhere. A story has a beginning a middle and an end, even if it's a character study, unfinished stories bug me, I just want to know what happens. ;o) I don't mind OC's but they have to serve a purpose. It's important to me that characters stay in character. That just means that however you have set up the character they need to be true to that, characters don't always have to stay true to their orignal creation as long as within the story it's consistent.br /br /

This is supposed to be fun, and that is how I want to keep it.

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am, what I call, a mature reader. I can read just about anyhting just to see where it's going. Honesty is a great strength. I really believe in the quality of a story. If a story has good bones well the rest can follow.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have a busy perosnal life so turn around could take some time, but I'll let you know if that is the case.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I am game for pretty much any type of story, romance, adventure, angst, AU, the list is endless.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
please no combinations of relationships that push limits of legality. example. Sephiroth wants to get into Clouds pants when Cloud is still in the regular army. The kid is 15 or younger (depends on who you talk to) and Seph is over 24. Everyone must be at least of consenting age. I can't get into that, sorry.
