Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Well, howdy!br /br /

br /br /

I've been a longtime fanfic reader and fan, as well as a Beta Reader for my friends. Now, I've decided to extend the service to other fanfiction hopefuls!br /br /

My qualifications? Well, I'm currently working on my Bachelor's in English at a local University, and already looking towards going for my Master's in the same subject. While earning my Associate's Degree, I also worked in the English department, helping to tutor students and working side-by-side with them on helping with their papers. Currently, I work as a freelance English tutor. In high school, I was the editor-in-chief of my school newspaper. I have been published in both high school and college literary journals.br /br /

I'm very familiar with the subject matter as well as the language, and I try to remain as friendly and fair as possible while doing this, by instilling and building confidence in you and your works while maintaining a critical eye and making sure that I do the best possible job. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Basic grammar and spelling issues-I'm usually terrific at picking up on these. I'm familiar with the characters (having been a fan for over seven years now), and I have written fanfiction myself for a great period of this time. I'm decent when it comes to suggestions, and I definitely keep in mind that this is YOUR story; I will not be offended if you don't follow up on my suggestions, so don't worry. ^_^ I'm a tough girl, I can take it. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I cannot catch everything; it's not humanly possible. I also have the tendency for being TOO nice with my critiques sometimes, although I am constantly working on staying as objective as possible. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Ohhh throw it at me! I especially enjoy comedy, drama, family situations, crime stories, anything of that nature. I don't mind short, but keep in mind if you have a longer fic then it will take me longer to read over it. Pairings are not an issue with me; OC, Yaoi, Yuri, I'm not uncomfortable with any of it.br /

I WILL ask that you be 18+ before sending me anything M-Rated, please. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'm not really big on angst-I'll read some but please nothing along the lines of a dozen angst-filled stories in a month. I really am not a fan of self-inserts or Mary Sue type fanfiction, not to say I'll turn it away, but I will show discretion. br /br /

I like authors who have fun with the craft but don't purposefully produce nonsense stories and then pass them on to me to read; I REALLY am not a fan of these. |
