@d4rk3stn1ght
Beta types: Developmental and cheerleading
Preferred genres: No
Genres they want to avoid: No
Additional info: I tend to add a lot of angst/hurt comfort but I also like to ping pong ideas. Almost like a verbal rp and it gets both ideas generated in the person's mind

@davidthetraveler
Beta types: Developmental, basic, and cheerleading
Preferred genres: I'm good with most things.
Genres they want to avoid: NSFW content, "No happy ending" stories, certain ships, certain types of triggering or squicky content. If you're not sure if your story's content is something I'd be uncomfortable with, feel free to discuss it with me.
Additional info: As a developmental Beta, I would be available to help you sort out what needs to happen in your story. I can help find ways to get from one point to another. I can help to set the tone and feel for the story. I can also be there to ask questions to challenge you to figure things out for yourself. And I can even review stories to see if they make internal logical sense. But I will always defer to you, the author, on what will actually be put into your story.
As an editing Beta, my philosophy is that it is not my job to tell you what your voice needs to be, but rather to help your voice be clear and understandable. I will correct spelling and grammar, as well as punctuation. And I will occasionally suggest a different word or phrasing to better express what you're trying to say. But you will always have the final say, and I will do my best never to overwrite your voice.

@chaoticcartoonlokibiscuit
Beta types: Basic
Preferred genres: Fantasy or Adventure are my favorites!
Genres they want to avoid: I'm not really comfortable with very graphic stories that include sexual or violent content. I'm fine with fights and violence, as long as it isn't too explicit or dark. Horror also isn't my favorite, but I don't mind if the story's a little scary. Again, just not too explicit.
Additional info: I signed up as a beta reader to check for spelling/ grammatical and continuity errors but if the writer I'm helping wants any plot-related advice, I'd be happy to share my ideas about that as well!
