Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
My name is Shayla Kowalchuk. I like to focus on spelling and random grammar things. Little stingy things like the difference between 'Your' and 'You're', or 'Then' and 'than'. I also focus on sentence structure, descriptive writing, and general story format. Anyone who wishes to contact me for help, I expect to not take my critism as insults, but as room for improvement, and to keep an open mind. That's all I want from you. I'll be glad to help anyone, any type of writing, any style. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm a grammar Nazi. I like to describe things, senses of atmosphere being my main focus. Sentence structure is also a big one for me, and convections (punctuation and stuff). |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not good at editing poetry or dialogue (dialogue because it's someone speaking, therefore the mistakes could just as easily be in the voice).Sometimes, if I over-read things too much, I'll skip over a lot. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I am a yaoi fan, keep that in mind, but I don't mind what you send me really. Though I do like Akuroku... But shh, it's a secret. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Well... it all depends. I guess there's some pairings I can't really take (RoxasxNamine, Zelink) But regardless.I don't mind if the story has OCs, but please don't send me a story with your OC paired up with a main character, that's just lame. |
