Story types/topics I will not beta:
Additional Comments: I am especially good at finding areas that need changed for continuity issues. If you have your entire story written I can go through and read the entire thing before making any corrections. That would help with continuity in one huge read through. If I'm reading chapter by chapter as you were writing then I will really be addressing continuity issues as they come. I will edit any rated story for whatever reason the boxes above will only allow me to choose one rating.

Beta experience: I have not officially beta'd before. I have read and given my thoughts to a few writers in the past. I have been writing since high school. Graduated in 2012 so it's been a while. I am in no way an expert but I may be able to point out flaws that need amending. Not the best at grammar though. I mainly muddle my way through with that but I can help on a basic level. 
I'm pretty good at picking up Out of Character stuff. It's one of the main things that makes me nope out of a fic. I'd like to say I'm also good at 'hearing' character's voices as in 'hearing' whether the dialogue sounds authentic for the character. Those are probably my strengths and probably where I can offer the most help. 
Story types/topics I will not beta: Can't really think of anything that would turn me off completely. I'm pretty open minded. I guess I'll be a little iffy about Daryl/Other and Carol/Other but even that I'll be happy to have a look at anyway. I'm fine with gore, violence and NSFW stuff. I'm not very experienced in smut writing though. I do read a lot so I might be able to help a little.
Additional Comments: I'm really only setting up this beta profile because I know how frustrated I've been in trying to find a beta. I'm not writing expert and I probably don't have much to offer in the grand scheme of things, but if you have a story you want someone to look at, throw it my way. I'll give it my best shot.
I will make note too that I suffer from depression/anxiety so I may take a little longer in getting back to you. Sometimes I get too far inside my own head. But if you message me, I will respond.
