I am an experienced and thorough beta-reader. I am gentle but honest, and I do tend to push a bit in order to get authors working to their full potential. I'm interested in working with writers whose grasp of spelling and grammar is relatively sound and who want help with flow, characterization, etc. I prefer to work with people on a fairly close basis, rather than just proofreading chapters and sending them back off. If you are friendly, dedicated and imaginative, please feel free to get in touch with me.

Character development is one of my main strengths. Psychology and human behaviour fascinate me, so I can tell you when your characters are behaving unrealistically. I am good with helping to get stories flowing properly - pacing, plotholes, etc. My spelling and grammar are solid, and I have both a reasonable foundation of general knowledge and a good understanding of canon.

My real-life workload fluctuates a bit, and with it my availability. During busy periods I can take a few days to return chapters, depending on length and how much they need doing to them. I tend to get impatient with stories containing too many significant spelling and grammar errors.

I'm happy to work with either one-shots or chaptered stories. Any genre or rating is acceptable, and I'll gladly read either het or slash pairings as well as gen stories.

I am not prepared to work with incest stories. I'm also not fond of Mary-Sues or parodies.
