Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Soooooo. . . or, um, hello. Thanks for dropping by. Nice to meet you and all. I am the person that keeps an internal typo count for every chapter I read and often includes them in the review. Bwahaha. You have been warned. On a lighter note, I'm also the one who apologizes for mentioning them. If I haven't read the books that your fic is from, I probably won't mind checking it for grammar. I've never beta'd before on FFN - I guess we'll see how this turns out. Apologies for the rambling. (Apologies for the lack of paragraphs as well - this silly website keeps eating my line breaks and I have to cut my sentences.)
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Spelling. Typos. Grammar. I've been told I can come up with plot-hole-filling and plot-bunny-killing ideas, and sometimes they actually work. Typos are my BEST ability. Except when it comes to my own work, which seems to spew out more every time I check (side note: if you're serious about finding a beta, read the beta's work. Sure, there are people who can only edit other people's writing, but the simplest way to tell is simple observation).
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I can't do paragraphs of flowing descriptions (rather the opposite, actually), so I won't really be able to help you there. I might dislike how your plot's going and take less interest in it. I can't be held responsible for "orbs" mysteriously turning into orb-weaver spiders, either. Please, just say "eyes." But I won't judge you for mistakes - it's my job to fix and forget 'em.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I have a weakness for stories where Real Life characters fall into canon. I also have a strong weakness for witty characters. (And if it's both . . . boy, I'm predictable.)
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
No slash. NO lemons. And no overly-excessive bad language, please. Preferably no questionable language at all. As a warning, I've never written romance before. Just sayin'.
