Beta Readers

I was just wondering, if anyone could be my Beta Reader? Correct me on mistakes, improve my characters?
I'm forever making little mistakes, mainly due to the slip of the keyboard or something, but then there's bigger problems like word repetition, and plot development. And characters, I don't know. I usually like my characters, but then I receive the occasional criticism and I have no idea on what to do differently. I do try to base them off me or my friends, so it has a real personality that I'm not just creating, but in some fics to have a normal person bouncing off an unusual character doesn't work... But it's hard to make an OC "unusual" without turning them into a Mary-Sue :/
So yes, I digress... Would anyone be interested in reading through my work and correcting any little things? In return I'll be your Beta. I'm usually better at helping other people write stories than I am at writing my own sometimes :')

In other news... Do you like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels?
No? Don't read on then...

Do you like Eddy from Lock Stock?
No? You're best not reading on then either...

For those who said yes, I currently have two in the works - and by works I mean both have several chapters up with more to come...
And yes, I am currently basing the majority of my work on whatever film Nick Moran has been in. But can you blame me? He's cute :3

Anyway... With that said, I shall bid thee farewell.
