Name:
yamina-chan. Or just yamina for short ^^
Preferred pronouns:
she, her
Contact information: (i.e. be it a skype name, dreamwidth name, or telling your potential author to message you here to discuss fic details further before sharing contact information)
My dreamwidth username is yamina_chan. For now, it is proably the best way to contact me with a message there (and make sure that I can send you a message in return!) I do have skype however, so if we agree on a beta service, we can continue the communication there, here or at DW as you like. ^^
Why I think I'm a good beta:
I don't hold back.
By this I mean that if I see something wrong with your story, I will tell you. And I will be harsh. If I need to break a story and have to make it collapse onto the ground, I will. But I will also help with the rebuilding of it.
I will not force my writing style on anyone, but I will give suggestions.
On the other hand, if I see something noteworthy or well done, I will point that out too.
What I love: (any characters, AUs, pairings you really love and could read a million variations on)
I considder myself open to anyting, as long as it is well written. In regards to the beta service that translates to: If it's not on my "I won't read it" list, then it's probably fine. ^^
Preferred fic length: (e.g. oneshots, multichapters, multistory epics, drabbles)
I don't have a prefered length. Just be mindfull that longer projects take more time.
What I won't read: (any squicks, genres, AUs you hate, etc)
PWP, Crackfics, Things written in screenplay or *starsspeak* style, stories focused on erotic content - including Lemon/Lime and variations.
Also: School AUs. I've seen enough of those for sure XD'
EDIT: Stories that include a purposefully added Mary Sue / Gary Stu.
Will I do crossovers: (y/n, if yes what with etc, or yes but with what you wont touch)
It depends on the crossover. Generally I have no problem with these, but I might reject it if I feel that I can not do it justice; either because I feel that better knowledge is required or because I do not linke the other Fandom(s).
Characters I won't read:
I don't have any, I think... Obviously I'll be better at spotting any OOC or mistakes when it comes to people I reguarly watch over people who I don't follow Xb
Ships I won't read:
Again, I don't have any. However, when it comes to this fandom, I generally prefer stories without any shipping. If it's a subpart of the plot I can deal with it. If the entire storyline only evolves around this, then you are better of finding someone else.
Any Other Information:
English is not my first language. If you are looking for a betareader primarily for grammar and spelling, you may want to ask someone else.
Also: I have a life outside of this. I will get back to you on the betawork as fast as I can, but do not expect me to have it done imediately. Especially if it's a longer bit of text. Give me time to do my job right.
