Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
As a beta reader, I would want to work with good writers who want to enhance the level of their writing. If someone wanted me to beta read for them, I would want to know more about their story first. If a story doesn't interest me, I won't be passionate about beta-reading it. I would also prefer a regulated schedule, so I would have an idea of how to adjust my schedule. Finally, I would want to know how long the story is expected to be and if there are any ships (just because some ships annoy me). |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good with sentence structure, spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I also have experience with making sure a story flows well, particularly dialogue. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not very good at spotting plot-holes, and I have an obsession with commas. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Creative stories with interesting plotlines. Longer fics, though one-shots are okay. Lots of suspense and action and emotion. Academic settings are fun, too. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Stories that are straight fluff/romance. Excessive OOCness. With some fandoms (Harry Potter and some others) I don't like OCs as main characters. Constant violence without anything else to balance it out. Major religious overtones are out, as I am not religious myself. |
