Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm new to beta reading, but I'd like to be here to stay. I'm a pretty huge grammar freak, so be assured that if you use my services, your stories will be 99.9% grammatically flawless. (But hey, nobody's perfect, right?)br /

The changes that I make as far as spelling and grammar will be placed right into the draft I'm given. However, if there is an issue with word flow or sentence choice, I'll leave a note nearby in ((double parenthesis)) and bold it so you can see. I'm a very, very fast reader and I usually catch grammar and spelling errors the first time through, so needless to say it won't take very long for me to finish up with the draft I'm given.br /

I'm a very polite and pleasant person to work with most days, I'd like to believe. Should you choose me to beta-read for you, I'll do my best to make your work ready for public view ASAP. Thanks for reading!

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
My strengths are spelling, grammar, sentence structure, and word choice/flow. I'm best at the more technical aspects.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
If you begin to stray from the topic at hand for your story/chapter, I probably won't be able to help you there, as I do that a lot myself and I tend to not notice when I'm doing it.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I have to say that I am partial to yaoi; however, yuri and het are fine as well. I have nothing against stories rated M for violence, language, or smut (actually, I'm quite good at editing for smut!). In fact, I feel as if stories that contain those things are more realistic than those that don't. I would prefer to work with romantic pairings that I am at least familiar with, as it will give me the best feel for when you may be unintentionally going OOC or otherwise. I'd also prefer to work with authors who have at least a basic understanding of the English language. Please; I don't want to sit for hours contemplating what one simple sentence could possibly mean.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Non-romance stories really aren't my thing. Also, I would prefer not to work with any stories that involve character death, a seriously major tragedy, or LOTS of self-harm (a little is okay, just not a huge amount; I don't want to be mopping up blood).
