Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am young and I have a life like many on this site and I enjoy it. I enjoy reading stories and seeing people grow as they write, however I get busy at times and need my own sleep so while I will try to be as available as possible, it will not be 24/7. I'm not going to be perfect, I doubt anyone can be, but I'll do everything I can to help an author /br /

I look at spelling mainly, but also grammar as well and I try to be polite as I critique work. I also try to offer a lot of opinions if I think that there's any ideas that could use improvement or that the author might enjoy. I don't really have any expectations, if I don't know the series, I'll try to read/watch/research it so I can be helpful. I'm open to anyone who wants a Beta /br /

If any author who decides to let me Beta them decides they no longer want me to, I will not feel insulted at all but at the same time I hope that the opposite is accepted and should I no longer be able to Beta for the author that they take it respectably.

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good at catching errors in spelling and offering points to think about for future thought. I'm alright in grammar but I'm not afraid to go to a friend who is better than me at it. I try to stay in touch as best I can. I can also remind authors to write their stories and try to give ideas for the story. I'm nice and try to be flexible, I also like to help anyone in a tight spot by talking through it with them and helping them get a better idea of what they want and are picturing. I try to be honest as much as I can. I won't say always because it's impossible to be 100% truthful, but I give my honest opinion as often as I can if I think it will create improvement.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm forgetful. I'm so forgetful so I may be needed to reminded that I've received a story if there's no response. Also as previously said, I don't always have perfect grammar and I'm most certainly not perfect. I'll also try to help make stories more in depth but I don't always know what I'm talking about. I also have a horrible sense of humor (it's honestly pathetic. Don't ask me for jokes, they'll make you cry by how bad they are.) and love sarcasm (don't worry, I avoid the sarcasm online since it's too hard to tell generally.). I also have somewhat of a shortish temper but I especially try to keep a hold of that when online, so it shouldn't be a problem for any author. I may accidentally write something that sounds mean, but I don't mean to, I just sometimes have trouble figuring out the best way to say it.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I don't really have a preference, I'm good with adventure, angsts, and hurt/comforts. I can give ideas for most genres and I honestly don't mind doing a Beta for any story.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Humor/cracks. While I can enjoy reading them and can Beta them if possible, as I stated earlier my sense of humor isn't the best so it would probably be in the best interest of the author to find someone who /br /

Also Romances and stories with OCs that are generic Mary Sues. If you have one of those in your story, I will be more likely to point out character flaws you will dislike and also straight up tell you that the OC isn't good. If you're willing for the character to be changed and have logical flaws, then I think we will be able to work /br /

Actually, Romance/Drama. I have no romance in my current life and therefore I have no idea if anything done is realistic. I also tend to avoid drama as much as I can in life, so that makes relating the story to life even harder. I can however help with plot and how the story is read /br /

Horror. I don't know too much horror, so while I can give ideas and help you write it, I won't necessarily know how to help you give readers the chill.
