XxBirdxOfxHermesxX's has left a hiatus/vacation message:
My computer is nonworking atm, and I'm using a computer that I'd much rather use. It's my Ancientasaurus-A.K.A. my mom's eight year old computer which hardly works at times. So, until I get a new computer, I guess I'll be on Hiatus mode. =D Good day!~
Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
First of all, whoever I am a beta for, I will put their name and the stories I am currently beta-ing on my profile under “BETA!”br /br /

br /br /

Secondly, my personality would have to be described as a funny and random person. I have a rather short attention span, so beware. If you disrespect me, don't expect to hear a sorry from me if I happen to snap back at you. Because trust me, you won't be getting a sorry. Just a quote: "If you're a bitch to me, I'll be one right back." Just a fair warning. Also, as you can tell, I can handle cursing. Yes, even Hidan's cursing. Haha. In fact, I love cursing, although I don't show it often. I've calmed down a lot..but cursing just seems to strengthen the emotions in the sentence...anyway, if you want a curse word somewhere and you're too "nice" to write one, then I'll give you a list of basic curse words and you can just copy and paste. How about that? Haha.br /br /

What I expect of the people who I am beta-ing: For starters, I wish for you to tell me exactly what you want me to beta. Do you want me to help with a part of the story? The grammar? The spelling? You tell me what you want. I want all specifics. Secondly, I want you to think of me as a friend because we could all use friends and it would make the good times roll better. Let’s think of the friendship as a wheel. It has to be circular, not square-ish. The square-ish would come into play if you were using me as nothing but a slave or such. Thirdly, if I tell you something that I, personally, don’t like, I don’t expect you to change it. If it’s something like details, then I would only hope that you would understand whenever I say “Too muany details are really, REALLY annoying” I mean, even this long of a paragraph is about to make me nuts! Not even the best of stories can make me read the whole thing. Not even in a published book by someone like Charlene Harris. So beware about that.br /br /

Well, truthfully I don’t really understand what ff.net means by a “betareading style” but here’s what I’m assuming: I’m assuming it means what all I can beta or such. If anyone knows that I am wrong and wishes to correct me, PLEASE do so.br /br /



br /



br /br /

Anyway, my betareading style would have to be as followed: I love Autocorrect and the dictionary in Microsoft Word. It is my best friend. I tend to miss some spellings and/or I misspell some things on accident. Word fixes this and lets me know the words that I’ve done wrong. Thank good. Uhm, so, I will help with grammar(although I’m not the best at it, I will try my hardest and I’ll always get your opinion for things that I change if it has to do with grammar,) spelling, some parts in the fanfiction (this is in case you’ve hit a writers block and you feel like you need another writing style in the story, then I can do this,) and help with the plotline, although I would much rather you want me for something more than just helping with the plotline, but I’ll still do so.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
In writing, I am fairly well with writing details and such. I am respectful in my fanfictions, and I try to keep the characters as close to the real deal as possible. I am “OK” with grammar and spelling, although I’m not the best. I may not be proficient in Japanese, but I know websites where I can get some translations, so if you need some jutsus to be made or you need to find out what a word means and such, then I can help. Not only do I know websites, I have a few books on the subject, so if you even needed to describe a Kanji, I can help with that to. I have books full of Kanji, so don’t be afraid to ask, I love to help.br /br /

br /br /

Another strength, I guess, would be the fact that I am sensitive. I can feel what the character feels, so if you need to know how to make the character act accordingly to a scenario, then I can help with that as well. Something else, something else something else…I love to be funny. :D If I make you laugh, then thank god because I swear that’s what I was sent here to do-make people laugh. I bet that if more people were happy while they wrote, their writing style would improve, which is why I say that I love to make people laugh.  br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



Something else, I am a fairly dark person, so you should either beware of that, or be happy. If you should be happy or be afraid, that would only depend on the plotline of the story. :D
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Weakness’ that I am currently aware of:br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



Spelling-I have a slight problem with most words, although I am A LOT better than I was years ago.br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



Grammar-I have more problems with grammar than I do spelling.br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



Plotlines-I have never finished a story. No, not even a one-shot. Ok, I lie about that, I’ve finished one one-shot. The rest are still unfinished and have yet to be worked on. br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



Inspiration: I lose inspiration quickly, so I hope that you can write really fast and keep my interest at it’s peak, because I CAN lose it quickly.br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



My own stories: Don’t worry about my own stories, I hardly write on them because I’ve lost interest in them. The inspiration and plotlines is what has caused me to just about stop writing at all. (WARNING: I have started writing on Pain of Siblings, so I may work on that before I work on beta-ing your story, since I have so many ideas for my story. :3 )br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



Short Attention Span: I DO have a short attention span, although it’s not as bad as it was. It only gets really bad whenever I am rather hyper. If I am in a more serious mood, my mind will stay on one subject, although I may have a lot of questions, so expect a lot of them all the time.
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Categories:br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



I would much rather write for Naruto or Hellsing, although I know the most about Naruto than I do Hellsing. If it's in another category, please pm me and tell me the category of the fanfiction and I'll tell you if I can do it or not.br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



I like stories to be centered around Sakura, but I’m not limited to that. If it involves someone other than Sakura, please inform me of who it is and I’ll tell you if I can help with it.br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



Now with Hellsing: I will help with just about anything for Hellsing. Truthfully, I like OC’s in Hellsing more than I like other main characters strangely. But I will help either way. OC is just preferred, although that’s more of a writing preference…I haven’t really read any Hellsing fanfictions, so yeah…I’ll just tell you after I read the story(s) you want me to beta.
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I REFUSE to even HELP write a story that has the main pairing as Yaoi! If there’s a pairing in there of Yuri, DON’T expect my help. I HIGHLY dislike Yuri. Buh. br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



I am ok with a side pairing of NaruSasu or SasoDei, but that’s it. No side pairings of Yuri will be tolerated unless the story is DAMN good. Same goes for Yaoi. The story had better be DAMN good if there’s even a side story of either SasuNaru or SasoDei. And by DAMN good, I mean that it had better make me go absolutely coco whenever I can’t read it and make me go mad with laughter and excitement, capeish? br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



Also, if your grammar and/or spelling sucks REALLY badly, expect to be notified. Expect me to tell you to pay attention to those sorts of things, and then I will fix them and I hope to god that you do not continue to make such mistakes, because they are HIGHLY annoying and usually give me a headache since I have to freaking decode what you’re trying to say.br /br /



br /



br /br /



br /



That is all, if you read through my whole profile, then here’s a cookie. -hands you the best cookie in the world- If you would like for me to be your beta, please pm me. If not, then you just wasted a countless number of minutes reading my profile, and I am not sorry for it. :D Please consider me for a beta if you read through my profile! Even if you don’t consider me, thank you for stopping by and reading! Taa-taa~!
