Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Um...well I do like to edit but you have been warned; I am a grammar natzi. But, I can assure you that I will not go easy but I hope that after my editing (if you haven't gotten bored yet), your entry will be better than it once was. Unless in the situation that your grammar was perfect but I highly doubt it...so SUPRISE ME! I do dislike it when people expect to have things done quickly though, for it takes time for me to do a good job. I don't like being rushed. I like to edit grammatical errors because...well just cause everyone hates to. I'll get the job done though! I also change vocab words and metaphors a lot so they are more descriptive and/or make more sense. I barely know any Japanese or Finnish, I won't betaread something that isn't in English. (ugh english is such a stupid language.) If someone requests my services (i highly doubt it D:), I expect to be treated fairly and not getting mean comments back about my editing. If I edit it, you don't even have to use it. Its just a suggestion. Okay, well I think that just about sums it up.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I have been told that I write very much in character, so if you are wondering if your entry is a little OOC, I can help with that. I do tend to spot grammar defects from a mile away, so that's always good...I also am usually pretty good at finding where to put commas and such. I also can improve vocabulary and sentance structure if needed. But I do like editing stories in character because it takes the reader on a whole different level. Especially for England from APH, you should use british terms or Sweden from APH, you should use aposrtophes instead of most vowels and Basil from KHR should use thy, thou and stuff. Oh, and a tip on writing with China. Put "aru" after dialouge. It makes it cuter. Anyways, I also LOVE editing stories with multiple chapters because it motivates me to do a good job and makes me wonder what will happen next so that I can suggest maybe a fluffy ending?
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I completely suck at editing anything that has to do with ushy-gushy romance. Sometimes I can't even stand reading it all, but if its for a pairing I favor, I'll read it anyway. I can't stand it when people get the seme/uke mixed up. I'll crack the whip on you if you get it wrong..sorry im coming off as very harsh aren't I? Just ask Shiori the Weaver of Dreams and I-Pin about my editing. They'll tell you how not horrible I am. But oh yes, back to weaknessess. I also am weak in the fact that I forget to check other people's spelling. I can't stress enough about their, they're and there though. Or to, too and two. Why is English such a stupid language?
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I probably will only accept offers from people who need help with Axis Powers Hetalia, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Toradora, Ouran High School Host Club, Ookiku Furikabutte, or Lord of the Flies. Sorry I only will betaread something I know very well...but I do like reading drama, angst, hurt/comfort, and possibly romance. I love fluff so much though. Parings that I will favor:

SealandxLatvia-APH (Sealand is seme)
SpainxRomano-APH (Spain is seme)
USxUK-APH (America is seme)
SwedenxFinland-APH (Sweden is seme)
8059-KHR (Yama is seme)
D18-KHR (Dino is seme)
BelxFran-KHR (Bel is seme)
JackxRalph- Lord of the Flies AbexMihashi- Ookiku Furikabutte (Abe should ALWAYS be seme)
RinxLen- Vocaloid

Yeah. Even if you have the uke/seme wrong, i'll still end up reading it if its one of these pairings or any of the ones that are listed as my favorites on my regular profile.

Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I will not by any means betaread anything that has to do with Hannah Montana, Twilight or anything of the sort. I probably will only betaread something in the manga/anime section. I also will probably not edit something rated M unless its a pairing I care for. I also dislike stories under 300 words because they bore me. Oh, and I hate it when people make a story thats all rainbows and sugar lollies and too much happy. Make a conflict. Its boring without it to me. Another thing I dislike; when people don't take it seriously. When they write something spur of the moment and it happens to be very terrible indeed, like when everything is so rushed, I have to revise the entire thing to make it make any sense.
