I am in active need of a beta. I have three/four currently updating LONG stories and not the time to do them the justice they deserve. Please private message me if you would like to beta for one of the following stories.

War Never Ends

Steven Earth

Harry Potter and the Stone That the Builder Refused (and it's following 'years' & 'summers')

The Worst Love Triangle Ever Known to Mutant

I'm only as arrogant as I am humble.

I like stereotypes done right. The old, dedicated (usually religion), martial artist that knew the main character for long before the main character knew him has a regret from before the story and by suffering for the main character's development finds his own destiny. Is this Warriors of Virtue, the Matrix, Star Wars, Alias,...? I like anti-stereotypes like Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley Sohryu. I like poigniancy that is obvious rather than subtle, like Leon the Professional or 28 Days Later. I like complex scams/plot arcs such as Alias or Angel.

What I dislike:Cowardice on the part of the author. Takeshi Miike is one of the bravest folks making movies and his work ranges from horrifyingly unappealing to brilliant. But at least he isn't the Wachowski brothers trying to sell an anime non-ending to a christian trilogy. Conceit on the part of the author. If someone likes you writing self promoting tripe that only pleases your own insecurities, they'd put it up on your refrigerator. If you aren't writing fan-fiction from a fan's point of view, then why bother? No matter how crazy the crossover or out of left field the events that the known characters and accepted premises of what you're 'fan-ficcing' are, fan-fic readers are looking for exactly that.

ex. Let's say you're doing a Care Bears cross-over with Batman. You should know that the typical Care Bear cartoon went a)the bears lived amongst the clouds b)they spotted someone that was mopey c)they tried to correct his or her perspective on their lives (not necessarily their actual lives) d)they only resort to their beams of concentrated specialized emotion as a last resort because any improvement in their target by the beams could be temporary and hence false. Batman stories are usually his continuing acquiescence to his own trauma by forcing himself to be enough to handle a criminal whose danger is his insanity rather than raw power, even if he's forcing everyone who wants to help him away. The obvious fic is that the care bears try to get Batman to 'get over' his parent's death. Does he give up being Batman and how much harm does that do to the world? Does he treat the kind helpers like his own cohorts and put them at arms length or does he treat them as attackers or his own psyche snapping at the pressure of being Batman. What it can not be is gifting Batman with his own 'care beam' in the first scene and him prancing around turning criminals good. Not even in a Brave and the Bold crossover. No.

So hopefully, what you'll get from my writing is a)what you got out of the work I'm writing a fan fic of b)a finite tale, as opposed to self congradulatory prattle c)something that touches, even if it is only a 'heh' of a chuckle or a slightly raised eyebrow instead of shock and awe.

I've found a flaw in my fan-fic writing though. I tend to write stuff that I don't know exactly how it will end. The moment I know everything, my gumption falls off tremendously.

The flaws in my writing is that I do fights and plot way better than I do grammar and emotional rests. Working on it.
