Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm new to the fan fiction world and just trying my hand at writing my own fic's, so I'm still looking for my own style/voice and have a lot to learn, but I'm quite good at interpretation and logic. I'm a thinker, I like to analyze things and make my own opinion about it. I'm naturally curious and have a wide and unique worldview and I always strive to learn more about various interesting things and random facts about our world and life.

I have a very active imagination and I like to use it, so I read a lot and also like to watch movies and TV Shows.

I have a good understanding of characters and plot and like to pay attention to the details and find the meaning behind the character's thoughts and actions, but I don't always have the means or skill to express it on paper.

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I have a strong analytical mind and am good at critical thinking. I like logic, and reason, I don't have problem with suspension of disbelief, but the plot and the actions of the characters must make at least some kind of sense. I like consistency and continuation and I'm quite good at catching the details that don't belong or contradict previous facts of the story. I usually have a good feel about the overall big picture of the story and its flow.

I have read a lot of stories on this site and have a good understanding between a good story and not so much and I can offer some constructive criticism to make it better.

I also speak Lithuanian (my native tongue), German (it's a bit rusty since high school) and Russian.

I know the differences amongst there, their, and they're and I know to, too, and two.

My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Well, English is not my native tongue and although I can spot and correct most grammatical errors, I still occasionally make some of my own. My vocabulary is quite extensive and I consult dictionary if I need to. It would be beneficial to improve my English grammar skills like: tenses, punctuation and word order.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I'm mostly interested in Chuck fiction, maybe some other TV shows I'm a fan of, like Fringe, 24, Dexter or some good books or movies. I like a good dose of humor, sarcasm or irony with a taste. I like good romance and I'm ok with adult sexual themes. I'm keen on action/adventure an I like a good drama with some angst as long as it's not artificial.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I'm usually not interested in cheesy teenage drama with shallow artificial characters. I don't mind reading family stories with children in them to add fluff or comedy, but the characters need to be intelligent and smart. And I'm not an expert in anime or comics.
