Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'll start by saying I'm a hobbyist. But I am a hobbyist with an open mind and with a wide scope in mind. I like reading all scopes of stories but because of this, I have acquired rather particular tastes. This might make me sound like I'm rather judgemental but that also means I got a wider scope of ideas to help you better flesh out your story.

My specialities are mainly with humour and fleshing out characters so if you are encountering these problems, I. CAN. HELP! I don't care if it's from a series I'm not fully immersed in, give me a wiki page and a basic scene of that character and I WILL help you make it beautiful! I'm a super fast reader, always enthusiastic to read something and ready to help you out in whatever fashion you might need.

I expect any who request my beta reading have decent basic english writing skills and also to communicate with me

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
In all media really, I like comedy. No, scratch that. I LOVE comedy. I've heard ALL the jokes, the memes (especially the dank ones) and everything in between. And if it rhymes, that's cause I got the time. Then again, that might be due to procrastination...

No, but I like to say that in the world of comedy, whether if it's for a particular scene or for the whole story, I have a better grasp on funny than most. So if you're struggling with trying to make a serious scene a bit lighter, I'm your man!...person... thing.

As for story, my GOD my brain goes faster than lightning sometimes. You give me a vague idea of what you want, I can turn it into a fully fleshed story, I have this crazy fast way of thinking. If you've got writer's block and are stuck on how to progress, then I am the person to help YOU out! Seriously, doesn't matter how vague the idea is I can and will expand on it for you.

Finally, I am a SUPER quick reader and typer. I can't exactly demonstrate this here but what this does mean is that I'll be reasonably punctual. A response should (with few exceptions) be prompt.

My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
As a writer, I must admit I can be a bit bad with tenses for I often mix them up when I shouldn't. But I think I'm getting better bit by bit I think. So far I've written more under third person. And maybe it's BECAUSE I have a lot of crazy ideas but that often means that I go on and on and on and on...you get the drill. Brevity was and probably never will be my forte. So I'm great for if you want to ADD words to a chapter but if you want to REMOVE words, I might struggle a bit more.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Oh god, I LOVE humour. Especially if it's only a small part of a serious work. A little yang to the yin, if you know what I mean. But I think most of all I like the stories that are a bit of a hybrid of genres. The dramedies, with a little bit of romance, a bit of drama, a smattering of silliness and two spoonfuls of depressive seriousnes. I love works that can be a bit of both worlds. They've usually got wide appeal and are more entertaining in my books. (Almost literally)

I have very random fandoms I like. Games: Overwatch, Dynasty Warriors, Ace Attorney, Bayonetta. Anime/Manga: Haruhi Suzumiya series, Naruto

Don't worry if the series you're writing for isn't there because I might be familiar with the work and I am always willing to do some extra research to help you get better feedback. If you have a work you use as a reference, EVEN BETTER, and if it's possible I'd love to see it.

Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I'm not so much a fan of those fics where the writer villainises (or further villainises) a character as an excuse to write hate on them. It's not fun to read and I'm not so much into the anger. Apart from that, I don't have any triggers and there's nothing really that could disturb or upset me. So I say hit me with your worse! (Seriously, you could write something worthy of My Immortal and I'll be happy)
