Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
***I'm an essential worker with very little time at home right now, but I am still willing to work on fics, so long as you don't have a million chapters already posted. If I don't respond to your message, feel free to send me another message on the weekend when it's more likely to get noticed rather then buried so I can get back to you faster! You can also contact my DeviantArt or AO3 account and they're more likely to be noticed because this site sucks at telling me when I get a message.***

I do not critique works with a writer's view, rather I use a reader's view. If I used a writer's view I would want everyone to conform with my style of writing, however, I understand that everyone has their own pattern and I will respect whatever style you've developed.

It is easier for writers to only find one or two beta readers, thus please respect the fact that I will only be working with a couple of people at a time. This is to ensure that I don't mix up stories and character's personalities so that I may help you better.

If a story does not interest me, please respect if I decide not to beta read that story. I don't intend to offend you and simply believe that you should seek out someone who actually enjoys the story. This is because if I don't like something, I'm likely to suggest more changes than necessary to fit my tastes. I don't want to take the originality and spirit out of a story.

Please refrain from asking me to help with stories containing incest or stories that use text talk(Outside of actual texting or character traits) or have absolutely horrid grammar. If I am beta reading for you and fixing so many mistakes that I'm basically rewriting the whole story, that's a little too much for me to do, since I, myself am writing my own fics and original stories.

***However, if English is not your first language, please tell me! I will gladly help you with word definitions and grammar because English is hard!***

I prefer reading 3rd person, but I'm alright with well-written 1st person fics. I can also read shorter reader inserts but after a while, I usually lose interest, because I don't want to read a story about me in a universe when I could write my own lol.

I am O.C. friendly, so long as your O.C. is not a Mary Sue!

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I do well with female leads and romantic/erotic situations. I'm great with spelling, grammar, and punctuation and I can see writing errors that word processors tend to skip over. Also, I will not be one of those people that correct speech patterns a character has, such as: "gonna", "wanna", and "ain't". I understand characters have accents.

I offer fair critique, so please don't expect me to automatically say that your story is great, if it isn't. I'm not bashing your skill or the story, and I will provide detailed feedback as to what you need to improve on. I will never critique an idea or opinion a writer has.

My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I cannot keep up with people who publish multiple chapters a week. As I said before, I do have my own projects I'm working on and I want to have some 'me time' between work and Beta Reading to do so.

Also, my descriptions tend to be a bit 'normal/casual' so if you want fancy things like when people refer to fingers as "long, wrinkly, pale digits" I would recommend you keep looking. If you just want me to spell/grammar check then I can do that!

Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I'm currently looking to beta read some good Twilight fics or Detroit: Become Human fics. I am adept in RWBY's and Legend of Dragoon's lore as well!

Other fandom's I have a good concept of and would like to work with are:

Inuyasha

Devil May Cry

Avatar: The Last Airbender(Not LOK cause I haven't seen it).

Vampyr

And Final Fantasy (8, 9, 10/10-2) Even the bonus audio from FFX that everyone hates.

Naruto fanfics are my bane. I get so many requests for Naruto fanfics but they're always long fics and usually don't follow the rules of the Naruto world. So for those, I'd like to only work on Naruto Fic's written by people who have a good concept of how the Naruto world works. I also am not interested in working with fics that aren't about the Uchiha Clan, Hyuga Clan, Akatsuki, Sand Village and Kunoichis. If you have a well-written O.C. story, feel free to send me a message too.

Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
INCEST.

Most crossovers, people tend to write crossovers that I only know some about like Naruto/FairyTale(I haven't seen fairytale) or crossovers that don't make sense like Naruto/Resident Evil.

English is my only language so I don't mind if your character uses phrases from another language but if your entire fic is in French, I ain't got a clue darlin'.
