Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
My service as a beta reader is one that is keyed up for eliminating errors in description heavy stories or speech heavy stories where grammatical errors, story flow issues or just general mistakes are most likely to be prone due to either lack of attention to detail, slips of the keyboard or the incorrect use of phrases or the use of too simplistic or complex language when other alternatives may be more /br /br /

I may come across as over critical at some points but please be aware this is not my intention at all, and is rather my way of proving to you that I have delved right into the depths of your work and taken the time to read every last nook and cranny with the utmost efficiency and eye for detail with every intention of helping you get the absolute best from your /br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

br /br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

Also, I will ONLY work with people who can take my criticism and that will at least listen to the advice on areas of the story I will offer at points when something is directly hampering the quality of the story... but normally I tend to avoid suggesting alterations to the piece so that as much of the writers work is on display as possible opposed to my suggestions, and even if I do make a suggestion, it is still your piece... I only offer my opinion on points that affect me personally, so it may or may not be prudent to listen to me. br /br /br /

Finally, any person looking to acquire my services must accept a few little details:br /br /br /

br /br /

1) I am from the UK so I WILL change U.S.A spellings to the way I know them to be correct unless specifically asked not to by the /br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

br /br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

2) I will contact most people at odd hours if they are from the U.S.A or other far off timezone from GMT as I am a UK resident so I can only contact you in the hours I am awake over here, so there may be a bit of delayed contact at times. I AM NOT IGNORING YOU, I am probably asleep or just waking up when you message me, so don't get the wrong idea /br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

br /br /br /

br /

br /br /

3) I will tend to be very quick with your works as I am naturally a fast and thorough reader, so you can expect fast results in picking /br /br /

br /br /

br /

br /br /br /

br /

br /br /

4) Occasionally your work may be held up either due to my own works or my scool life. Do not think I am ignoring you, I am just living my life and doing other things, so please be prepared to wait a wee bit longer from time to time.

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am very good at sorting out the "flow" or "pacing" of a work so that the story is both easy to read and also flows naturally and is not jagged or forced, something I like to believe I uphold in terms of my own works. br /br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

br /br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

Also, I am very good at suggesting either more detailed or more "relevant" descriptive phrases or words, in order to make visulisation of the story either easier or just better in general if a story suffers from issues in it's descriptive sections that I feel hamper the visulisation for me as a reader and as a fellow writer. So expect a lot of feedback on this area if you should pick me. br /br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

br /br /br /

br /

br /br /

br /

Also, I pride myself at the pace of which I can consistently work at, so please be ready to get your work back to you faster than some other Beta's will as I am naturally a fast reader with a quick thinking mind that can get through a piece and delve into it's depths pretty quickly and provide you with efficent service.

My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am not the best person to ask for major suggestions on your pieces as I sometimes struggle to get into some people's thought trains and understand where they may be taking a story... but I am capable of doing this if additional information about future plot points ect are sent to me at the Authors discretion...
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Mostly stories based around Games (Speciffically Mass Effect, CoD, The Elder Scrolls Games, Specifically IV and V), Films (Star Wars only at the moment due to overwhelming number of films I know a fair bit about...) and anime and manga (Rosario Vampire, High School DxD and Fairy Tail are the only ones I read, watch and follow at the moment) are what currently interest me most at the moment for Beta-reading...
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Stories which are centralised around love ect or anything too depressing, as I am not normally the kind of guy who knows a lot about love or the depressing stuff... at the moment any ways (if you can convince me otherwise on the love story front as I can be swayed if it is just from a cleaning point of view...)br /br /

br /

br /br /

Also, I am not really into horror stories so please don't send me any requests on that
