Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
All right, so after about four years or so of complete inactivity, I'm trying to kick myself in the ass and get back into active updates- and this is how I'm going to do it. I'll be checking this thing every Tuesday and Thursday, and doing my damnedest to update with SOMETHING and give people constructive criticism on their works. I need someone to write with, someone's work to critique and someone who will critique my work, 'cause otherwise, this thing will sit here abandoned for another four years. I've been meaning to become a beta reader for a long time, but school and work and apathy have kept me from it- but no longer!
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I've been told I'm good with natural sounding dialogue, and describing scenes with a lot of motion in them, i.e. running, fights, dancing, etcetera. And I'm sort of a grammar Nazi, it's sort of a pet peeve of mine when people misuse words.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I use adverbs too much. It's ridiculous sometimes. I also have serious problems finishing stories, as anyone who's ever read anything to do with my Jhonen V. fics knows. I get stuck on little humps in the plot, like I'll know how to start, I'll know how I want to finish, but I won't know how to carry the story from beginning to end.
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
The pairs don't have to be romance, but when I read romance, those're the ones I enjoy most. I won't refuse to read other characters, these are just the ones I like best.

Blade Runner- Roy Batty, Pris, Decker, Rachel.
Boston Legal- Alan Shore, Shirley Schmidt, Denny Crane.
The Breakfast Club- Claire, Bender, Allison.
Buffy- Spike/Buffy all the way!
Chuck- Chuck/Sarah, Casey, Morgan/Anna.
Daria- Daria/Trent, Quinn, Jane.
Death Note- L/Misa, Ryuk, Rem.
Half-Life- when I say Half-Life, I pretty much just mean Portal. Chell, GLaDos, you get the idea.
Harry Potter- Draco/Hermione, Ginny, Ron, Fred, George.
Howl's Moving Castle- Howl/Sophie, Calcifer.
Invader Zim- Zim/Gaz, Tak, GIR.
Jhonen Vasquez- Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Squee, I Feel Sick.
Orson Scott Card- Ender, Violet, Bean, Peter Wiggins, Petra, Alai, Virlomi, Han Tzu.
Pitch Black/Riddick- Anything Riddick that doesn't turn into a creepy Riddick/Jack-Kira romance.
RENT- Joanne, Mark, Mimi, Collins.
Tekken- Hwoarang, Julia, Paul Phoenix, Jin, Jun, Kazuya.
Wicked- Elphaba, Glinda, Boq, Fiyero, Nessarose.
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I don't really have anything that I wouldn't read... nothing offends my sensibilities or disgusts me, so throw whatever you've got at me! I can take it, I swear.
