***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!
