Hello there. My name is Amanda, and I'm a Brit living in the Philippines! Gosh, I love it here. Back home in UK, it was raining 24/7. Here, it's all nice and sunshine-y, especially since I'm living on this lovely little island called Siquijore.

Anyway, I'm here to make sure FF.net writers are putting the best effort they can into their stories. Some authors get a bit lazy with their writing, thinking, 'Hey, it's just fanfiction. Nobody ever pays serious attention to it anyway.'

Let's think of it in this context. If publishing a book is the equivalent to going to a formal shindig, then publishing works on FF.net is the equivalent of visiting a friend's house. If you went to your best friend's place, you wouldn't wear a grungy shirt and jeans riddled with holes, now would you?

Unlike the harsher CC-givers (a.k.a. flamers), I tell you what I thought was wrong, and how to fix it. It's entirely your choice if you want to take my advice or tell me to bugger off. I'm not the one with the story on this site.

I am by no means perfect. If my criticisms were wrong (or if there is an excusable reason for your literary faux pas), then by all means, please tell me. I will appreciate it and immediately PM you my apology.

My services as a beta are also available. Just send me a PM or an e-mail.

Cheers,
Amanda
