'ello there. I'm Batty Buttercups - Batty for short. I'm not American. My top 5 fandoms are Batman, Doctor Who, Merlin, Sherlock and Star Wars (particularly KOTOR) - most of the fanfics I read are from these fandoms. I like exposing myself to different genres and media so you'll find an eclectic mix of genre and fandom in my favourites collection. The fics in that collection are fics that I genuinely loved; whether because they made me laugh or cry, or because they added greater depth to how I approach a certain character. All of them are beautifully written and well-worth a read. While I WOULD love to write fanfiction, I am not yet in the place where I feel confident enough in my work to write/publish any - I'm a perfectionist and if I don't think I can write something well, I won't write it at all. I started this account so that I could write reviews for fanfics that I REALLY liked (and generally I do this for every fic I like unless it's 4 o'clock in the morning or something) but had little attention - before that I lurked. I have been told (offline) that my attempts at compliments can be... hard to identify as compliments but I do do my best to throw in a smiley face or a thank-you to indicate that I mean well. Some of the highest compliments I can pay to a fic are that the characters are in-character or that a fic was beautifully written. Otherwise, I do my best to be as honest as possible - if I like something, I'll say so, if I don't I'll say so and, if I can think of something that could be changed, I'll suggest say that too. Other than writing reviews and reading fics, I'd like to offer my services as a beta-reader. I've never betaread before but I HAVE spent most of my schooling career spell-checking and critiquing the work of my peers. I have a good grasp of the English language and can offer sound, constructive criticism when needed. I do my best to be as grammatically correct as possible but most of what I know of grammar is through my exposure to books and the like so the services I can deliver in that area are more basic - correcting typos, spelling mistakes or comma abuse. |
