Looking for permanent beta (and offering services in return!)
So I'm looking for a permanent beta reader to have on hand, partly for minor grammar errors I may make (I have tense issues), but mostly for insightful feedback as I have been told that I'm great with plot progression but kind of horrid with characterization (and that I overuse clichés a lot). I currently write only for EXO and Super Junior, but I may dabble into Beast sometime in the future. I need someone who will be comfortable reading any pairing (within each fandom, no crossovers as of yet) and any rating (my past fics were rated under PG-13, but I'm intending my future ones to include mature topics and/or smut possibly). I write once in a blue moon and am slow as a snail while doing so, so the position isn't really demanding since I'll most likely be throwing a fic at you only once every couple of months.
In return, I'm also offering up my services as a beta. I have an excellent grasp of the English language (minus my occasional mistakes, but I legit bought a grammar book and I'm hoping to rectify that weakness soon) and have experience workshopping other people's writing. I'm only willing to beta for EXO, Super Junior, and Beast (but I guess I may be convinced into editing for other fandoms as well). I'm comfortable with any pairing and any rating and will read practically anything (although I'm not a fan of OC stories or genderswitch). There are some subject matters that I may be uncomfortable with reading though, so you'll have to make sure to let me know if there's especially sensitive/graphic material in your fic.
I can be contacted either through PM or email at vintagehourglass[at]gmail[dot]com.
