Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am an accredited beta reader at the Perfect Imagination Beta Reader Directory. Visit my beta reader profile and see if I can help you.

As a beta reader, I take fics of any status, from brand new to finished. So far I haven't turned down a single fic, so those of you desperate writers who are tiringly searching for a competent beta reader of any caliber, I'm available! You don't need to bribe me or anything, that'll just boost my ego. But, I do expect politeness on at least a casual level.

For my style, I guess I'm...funloving? Lol, I dunno. I'm sorta serious yet casual, depending on the writer I'm reading for. Umm, I think I can probably spot all the grammatical errors in a paragraph after reading it (yes, including the one I have in this section), but not those subtle grammatical rules no prose ever follows. I'm not a god, so I won't be able to perform any miracles and completely transform a piece of crap into a masterpiece. That's up to the writer. All I can do is polish and frame it. :P

As a writer, I seem to be oriented in serious works, and do not tolerate sloppy work - yes, I'm a perfectionist! I do have a sense of humor (a unique one), but my stories tend to be more serious and suspenseful than others. I personally think my literature sways towards the young-adult to adult side.

^ Ahem, please don't pay much heed to the segment above. That was what I wrote originally as a beta reader, and you can probably tell I've changed my writing style a little since then (well, at least when casualness permits). However, I still stand by what I said about preferring neater works. Yes, I'll except something that has meager grammar, but not something entirely unreadable. That's what a spell-check (with grammar option) is for-to prepare a document for the eyes of an editor.

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good with mostly spelling and grammar. I don't consider myself excelling at details, but those are my stronger points. I have more knowledge on things I like, so on some topics I will know close to nothing about, and will only be able to give support on conventional errors. Overall, however, I can beta read any fanfic (no matter the category).
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not extensively good at vocabulary, and am always trying to improve myself in that category.

I have been told my stories are somewhat confusing and the chapters are short, and that I switch topics often. Oh, and I personally believe my fics suck pretty hard. And as such, I try to refrain from such seemingly-ADHD activities, unless they're just comments I put on the sidelines.

Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Well, truthfully, I'm willing to read almost any fanfiction. Preferrably something I'm interested in, but that doesn't matter. Just check my specifics, and those're the works I'd rather get.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Well, truthfuly, I'm willing to read almost any fanfiction. Preferrably nothing I'm not interested in, but that doesn't matter. Oh, just please don't send me something yaoi. Yuri please! :D
