I am a dumb kid with the slight aspirations of being a good writer, and the stuff I have written so far has some friends enjoying them. A quick word about myself, I have simple needs, and all I wish is for people to read my stuff and tell me what you think. The most I can hope for is a few good reviews and that people will like the stuff, but while I very muchly appreciate good reviews, I will (unlike most people) take flames and outright critisisms without a single good thing to say about me with good grace. I actually ^can^ take rejection well, and simply hope that people will notice my stuff and say nice things. Though, flames that look like "This is stoopid." and that's it are not appreciated because it doesn't say why or how to make it better.

Something I forgot to mention is that when I ask for a beta reader, I'm not usually asking for someone to simply go over my work and correct grammar and spelling mistakes. Usually I'm looking for someone who can read it, tell me where it can be improved, and what ideas I could try instead, as well as what sentences I could try instead of others.

Oh, and I also tend to work on several stories at once, so if I don't update often, just chalk it up to me either reading or writing a different story. I do both of those a lot.
