Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I love to read, and have spent alot of my childhood reading books. One thing I can not bear to leave unfixed, not just in fanfiction, but in everyday life is bad grammar! The only expectations I would have of anyone is to listen to the advice which I give, whether you choose to use the advice or not is up to you! By this I mean take into consideration the thoughts, ideas for improvment and constructive criticism of others. While you as a writer have the final say in your story, getting the perspective of another person who is not quite as attached to the story is always beneficial.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Correcting Bad Grammer, Spelling and Structure; these I can not leave uncorrected, it just isn't my way!
Drama, angst, humour and romance, etc; I'm fairly well rounded in the genres I feel comfortable with - I read alot of fanfiction and I tend to read stories from a range of genres, as oppose to one or two in particular.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
One main weakness I have is patience and curiosity. I find it very hard to wait longer than a couple of weeks for an update of my favourite stories! (I just have to keep reminding myself that people have lives, sometimes fanfiction may not take precedence!!!) Though you could be assured in this instance that you would have any story you sent to me beta'd and return very quickly!
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
My favourite TV shows/books are: Twilight (books), Charmed (TV show), Gilmore Girls (TV show), Veronica Mars (TV show), Greys Anatomy (TV show). These previously mentioned TV shows and books I know off by heart. The Twilight Saga I have read so many times I feel I know it better than I know myself. And of the TV shows - every single season. (As I type this I am starting to realise that is probably a little bit sad on my part - but I own every season of all the listed TV shows and yes - I have seen every episode of every season: numerous times!)

I tend to prefer drama and angst and romance stories. I love longer stories where the characters not so much suffer, but just don't have everything coming to them easily. Movies tend to frusturate me for this exact reason: they end too soon!! Because of this I much prefer series of books, or TV shows. (And this is especially why fanfiction is so so important to me! I'm not usually ready to let go of the characters when a book, movie to TV show ends!)

Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I tend to enjoy longer stories as oppose to one shots, although depending on the topic one shots can be great as well! I don't really like poetry or song fics, and I absolutely despise stories which authors leave unfinished - I find it very unfair if someone starts a story, and people get really interested and start to look forward to updates, and then, all of a sudden nothing :)
