Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm the type of person who appriciates a job well-done and is a stickler for getting things done right. I tend to go over my own writing with a fine-toothed comb so that, even if the story is crao, I can't be faulted on such minor things as grammar and spelling. If anyone would like such perfectionism applied to their stories, I prefer comedies, as is proven by the fics I've posted. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I excel at the mechanics of the writing process (grammar, spelling, etc.) and am fairly handy at plot development. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weakness is implementation of the storyline as far as my own are concerned. I will sit at my computer for hours, reading and giving suggestions for someone else's work. And I can edit in under two hours. But I spend so much time writing and re-writing my own that it takes me months to update. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I much prefer comedies, comedy/dramas, and epic dramas to any others. If it's a gripping story that I get a chuckle out of, I'm bound to read it. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Anything too angsty or fluffy. If it'll depress me after half a chapter or meke me want to hurl from the sweetness, I won't read it. I like my stories in the middle. |
