Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm flexible and open-minded - I'm always interested in new and classic storylines. I am more than willing to help, coach, give advice or opinions, or discuss ideas with anyone on their work, posted or un-posted. I enjoy english, creative writing, and reading, so I will look for all the basics very thoroughly (spelling, detail, style, etc.) Beyond that, my personal primary focus will be quality. I'm always looking for work that has depth, creative thought, and heart in it. I love it when stories mean something personally.

I'm not incredibly picky on how fast I like to work. I'd leave that up to the writer. I'm willing to work with a writer in the way and the speed that will benefit them the most - I'm more interested in quality than I am in speed. You just tell me what you need, and I will do my best to accomadate you, or at the very least, tell you what I am capable of. I won't ever turn anyone down who just asks!

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am told I have a very critical eye and can see things that most other people would miss. I help my dyslexic roommate with her college term papers, and I'm pretty fluent in "greek" (As my boss calls it; difficult-to-figure-out writing). I'm very detail-oriented and artistic and I like things to be completely fleshed out - not only action but in thought and act and feeling. J.R.R. Tolkien (of whom one of my friends described as "able to take 5 pages to describe an orange") and I would get along great. I love detail and I love being able to *see* things the way they were meant to be seen, so therefore I may ask a lot of questions!
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am a very nice person. And yes, this apparently can be a bad thing in the sense that I don't always like to tell people what they should/should not be doing in their writing, or what I think they could be working on/improving in their writing. This IS possible for me to do, it just might take some prodding.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I'm the most interested in stories that have something to say to the reader that comes across them, ones that encourage thought, pondering, even action. Fun, angsty, hilarious, depressing - I'd go for just about anything! Romance is a touchy topic, but I'm not against it at all. I do however, lean more toward serious topics than I do the more laid-back ones. I just tend to like them more.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I will not touch any yaoi, yuri, or incestuous relationship stories. Do not ask me, or I might come after you. Also, I'm not interested in stories with excessive sexual situations (especially if graphic - hense my touchiness on 'romance') or stories without a plot. If you're writing just because you're bored and are only interested in getting reviews, then please just go somewhere else.
