Hello!

I am looking for a beta reader and am willing to read to exchange critiques. I love to beta both on the line level and the big over-arching plots and character development.

You know, SYW is a great place to post some critiques for others, so they can get a feel for how you critique and what sort of feedback you offer.

I understand. I've critiqued dozens of stories from this forum just from the description alone and thought I had some free-floating karma stored. But now that I remember it more clearly, rarely did anything ever come from it I almost never got thanked. So you're probably right.

I'm sorry, I'm confused. Right about what? My comment was a general one; I certainly didn't intend for you to take offense or be upset. It's something I've said to many members looking for crits or beta readers. If you already participate in SYW--as you have--that's great; keep doing so, and I'm sure people will begin responding more as they get to know you better.

Hi. I'm just curious. What do you mean by darker themes? Horror?
