Beta Reader Profile
Name: QueenOfSpades
Beta Experience: I've had both formal and informal experience beta-ing several Harry Potter fics over the past few years. I also do some editing of non-fiction work for friends. I rarely miss an error in anything that I read.
Ratings I Will Beta Read : NC-17 and under.
Categories I Will Beta Read: Action/Adventure, Angst, Drama, Fantasy, General, Horror, Humour, Hurt/Comfort, Mystery, Romance, Supernatural and Tragedy.
'Ships I Will Beta Read: Draco/Ginny, Draco/Harry, Draco/Hermione, Harry/Ginny, Harry/Hermione, Hermione/Ginny, James/Lily, Other Female/ Other Female, Other Male/ Other Male, Other Male/Female, Remus/Sirius, Ron/Hermione and Staff/Student.
Additional Ship Information: Normally I'll happily read anything, but real life is getting in the way at the moment, so for now I'll only really take on Harry/Draco (unless your fic is particularly tempting!). I read a lot of it, which means that I'm generally very quick to pick up errors.
Lengths Of Fanfiction I Will Beta Read: Under 5,000 words and 5,000 to 15,000 words.
My Strengths: Briticisms, Canon/Consistency, Characterisation, Grammar & Spelling, Plot, Point of View and Preventing Melodrama.
Additional Strength Information: As I'm British, my main strength is briticisms. I'm also ruthless with spelling and grammar, and quick to notice if point of view accidentally shifts.
Beta Style: Flexible With Comprehensive Critique
Time Taken To Return A 4000 Word Document: Usually about a week, but less if I'm not too busy.
Additional Comments: I really appreciate an author who will actually read over my corrections and contest them once in a while. I can't stand when people just accept all changes without reading over them. If you're a picky author, I'm probably your kind of beta.
Additional Help I Can Offer: None
