Greetings! I'm Aldrendaux.
(Or Aldren/Al)
I'm a Zelda and FMA fan who likes bingeing fanfiction on FF.net, Ao3 and here. Occasionally, I'll beta for writers in the fandoms listed below.
The Legend Of Zelda
Fullmetal Alchemist
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Miraculous Ladybug
Spy x Family
Super Smash Brothers
Fairy Tail
RWBY
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Works I've beta'd so far:
@echoesofheroespast: a Legend Of Zelda Fan Comic by @sakuraluna01. A Linked Universe AU with elements of Honkai: Star Rail. In progress.
emptiness to fill: a Fullmetal Alchemist Fanfiction by @rene-of-the-blackouts (blackout_writer on Ao3). Known as the Mad Puppy of the Military, Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, was not someone one would want to associate with. According to the general consensus, one word fit back to describe him best – "unhinged". Complete. Part 1 of empty.
when the lights go out and the emptiness is born: a Fullmetal Alchemist Fanfiction by @rene-of-the-blackouts (blackout_writer). Al gets sick a few days before they plan to bring Mom back. Terrified that Al might have caught the same disease that killed Trisha, Ed decides to attempt human transmutation alone (Al deserves Mom’s care, after all). Complete. Part 2 of empty.
In Lieu Of Flowers: a Royai BB 2024 Anthology fic by @baudleaires, illustrations by @ic3-que3n. "Never fall in love, Roy. That's my advice to you. And you should always take your Aunt's advice." Complete. Part of Royai BB 2024.
Accretion: a Royai BB 2024 Big Bang fic by @raisingmybanner (Ao3), illustrations by @chewytran, @areyousanta, @rizaposting and @justanotherinterneruser. Riza Hawkeye has worked as Security Director for private art authenticator Roy Mustang for eight years with little trouble. However, recently Mustang has taken on riskier and higher-stakes jobs, putting himself and his team in danger of exposure and harm. The objective of a new undercover job - authenticating an elusive ink drawing while undercover on a three-week island retreat - hits too close to home for Riza. Secrets carefully kept threaten to be brought to light, exacerbated by the closeness required while posing as a young engaged couple. Complete. Part of Royai BB 2024.
no more running on empty: a Fullmetal Alchemist ficlet by @rene-of-the-blackouts. From the empty-verse; sequel to "emptiness to fill" (linked above); please read that first, or the au will make no sense. Complete.
playing to an empty house: a Fullmetal Alchemist Fanfiction by @rene-of-the-blackouts (blackout_writer). “If you desert, you'll be hunted.” “If I don't, I'll be haunted.” Roy and Ed bond over their hate for the military. Complete. Part 3 of empty.
no going away empty-handed: a Fullmetal Alchemist ficlet by @rene-of-the-blackouts. From the empty-verse; prequel to everything, but better to read after all other instalments. Complete.
You can find me on Ao3. If you're a writer in the fandoms listed above, and want a second pair of eyes, add me as a co-creator and I will fix any grammatical errors I find, or pop into my DMs or ask box if you just want to chat or have a request. I will reach out to writers that put out open beta requests on their works.
Additionally, I will be your beta on request, within the boundaries listed below. I reserve the right to refuse to beta a fic for these reasons:
Pairing(s) doesn't appeal to me
Contains sexual content (romance is fine, but I won't read porn or kink)
If g*dd*mn, Jesus Christ and variations of those terms are used frequently (meaning in every chapter and multiple times per chapter) in lieu of curse words (too many writers overuse them, and in fandoms like LOZ and FMA, actually takes me right out of the story because Christianity doesn't exist in those worlds, so it ends up being too OOC)
The story's premise doesn't appeal to me
I am required to utilize Google Docs to beta your fic (I've had nothing but trouble with the site and don't have space for the app)
Well, that's all I've got to say for now. If you read this far, thanks for doing so! Have a nice day! (Find helpful links here) Links to my fics below:
AU - An Odyssey: The Captive (FMA) Summary: They’d killed him twice to open the Gate today. AU - An Odyssey: O Brother, Where Art Thou? (FMA) Summary: Alphonse finally meets his brother again after two years of searching. Alfons takes a late night walk, hoping for some word about his wayward roommate.
