Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
The things I look for in a story go in the following order of significance:
1. Storytelling ability
2. Plot
3. Grammar/Spelling
I'll use MS word with tracking changes (comments in the margins and all that). Commentary may tend to the sarcastic side, depending on how much sleep I've gotten. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
-suggestions for better phrasing
-grammar |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
-extended detail work |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'd prefer to read well-edited stories that have an interesting plot. I generally prefer to have read/seen something before I'll read it, but I can work with that. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Excessive spelling/grammar mistakes, major plot holes, etc. Vivid and explicit slash is not always appreciated, but I can work with this. |
