Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am Aerith. As your beta-reader I will try and catch the mistakes you make and also help to improve your story. I'll first list out the things I enjoyed and your strengths. Then, I will list some things you should improve on and what I didn't like. I don't like to sugarcoat my opinions so I will be slightly harsh. It's corrective criticism. My rule is since I would like harsh judgment I'll give you harsh judgment. I do expect completely written chapters of your story. I don't like reading half-finished stuff. So if you want me to beta read for you submit the full chapter. It doesn't have to be the full story (trust me I would die if you sent me everything at once!), but at least give me something complete. I also expect that there will be no chatspeak in your story. That's a pet peeve of mine. Please and thank you =D I hope my beta-ing services are to your expectations. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good with vocabulary, but that does not mean send me a chapter full of extremely difficult words. It's relaxing to read the small ones. I'm also quite open-minded with my reading/writing/betaing. I'm willing to listen to your explanation of it while formulating my own. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I absolutely suck with grammar. I'm able to tell the difference between there/they're/their, but I wouldn't be able to tell you about tenses and uses of colons. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I prefer romance and comedy stories. That doesn't mean the story has to contain both of those elements, but I prefer those genres. Though, when it comes to romance I do not enjoy extremely fluffy stories. I like it to the point at which I feel tingly, but nothing farther than that. As for comedy, I'm up for anything. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I don't really enjoy sci-fi or horror stories. There are some exceptions with horror, but for the most part I won't read it. You'll have to give me a good synopsis of the story before I give it the o.k. Sci-fi I just won't read in general, it bores me. |
