NOTE : If a reviewer beta-reads a fan fiction, that reviewer cannot review that fan fiction if it ever gets submitted.
NOTE : If you are looking for a beta-reader for your fan fiction, you can simply e-mail the Beta-Readers Email List (betareaders@theforce.net), and it will be sent to 50+ beta-readers, who can contact you about the possibility of doing a beta-reading (if they are interested in doing it). One does not have to be registered or subscribed to the mailing list in order to send mail to it.
The beta reader mailing list is for requests only. DO NOT use it to distribute your story.
Limits :
Generally I'd prefer stories that are 50 pages or shorter (in Word). I might make exceptions, so if your story is longer, describe it for me. :) Han and Leia are my favorite types of romance, but I like Ani/Ami and Obi/Sabe as well. I love song-fics. Stories I would not read: Anything set out to make either Lando Calrissian or Bria Tharen look bad, and any Ani/Ami stories that contain spoilers to eps 3.
Comments :
I've done beta work before and enjoy the process.

Comments :
I have loved reading and writing since elementary school. My particular writing style leans towards a darker side of adventure and romance. Romance is almost inevitable in my plots for some reason that still cannot be explained. Fighting scenes are very difficult to write in a way that doesn't bore the reader, and in so the writer has to put more effort or lose his/her audience.

Limits :
I will not beta-read anything from the end of ROTJ on. I have not read the EU for the OT characters, and that makes me uncomforable trying to beta-read fanfic from that time-period.
Comments :
I read voraciously and am online frequently. If you need something checked quickly and efficiently, I am your gal.
Limits :
I will not read stories entrenched in extended universe references. I will not read stories with extreme or constant romantic overtones, though I can stand romance as a part of the story. I will read, but tire quickly of, redundant stories (e.g. clone of so-and-so, son/daughter of so-and-so, etc.).
Comments :
I am a fairly harsh critic, admittedly. But I will not flame, I will not tear something down because I do not like it or because I don't agree with it. I will offer ideas on what I think needs to be fixed, edited, corrected, or added. I will read your story beginning to end and offer constructive criticism as well as praise.
I prefer well-written stories that neither talk down to nor talk up to the readers. Talk to them on their own level. I enjoy stories, most particularly, that use all original characters. I also highly enjoy stories centering on the Jedi Exile (of Knights of the Old Republic II).
My notes and comments are long, but thorough. If you want a complete, thorough, honest, and straight-forward comment then come to me. Just don't flame me if I trash your baby.
As for my life in general (and all the rest, as the prompt states), I am a guessing game. Take a guess and I might tell you if you're close.
