Beta Reader Profile
Name: Anna Scathach

Miscellaneous: Mythology (mostly Celtic and Norse, but I am also familiar with Greek and Roman mythology), the Bible, literary references in general.
Otherwise, just ask me if I've read the novel or seen the movie you've written fanfiction for, and if I have then I will most likely accept your request.
I appreciate: both oneshots and novel-length fics, both angst or horror and romance or humor, both stories with happy endings and those that end badly. I must admit I have a preference for het pairings, but then again, I do appreciate slash, both male and female. Moreover, I am confortable with beta-reading smut, as well.
I don't appreciate much: overly fluffy fics, but then again, this depends very much on your writing style and the reasons for said fluffiness. Poetry definitely is not my cup of tea, sorry.
Lengths Of Fanfiction I Will Beta Read: Under 5,000 words, 5,000 to 15,000 words, 15,000 to 25,000 words, 25,000 to 50,000 words and 50,000 to 100,000 words.
My Strengths: Characterisation, Grammar & Spelling, Plot, Point of View and Preventing Melodrama.
Additional Strength Information: Grammar and spelling. Logic. Plot. Sometimes canon consistance, mainly for Harry Potter, Twilight, Inkheart, Eragon, Artemis Fowl fandoms. Other languages than English - French and German. Ask me to do anything else, and I will certainly try.
