Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
As a beta-reader, I expect you to have at least reviewed your story before you send it to me. Also, I would like you to not to get insulted at any of my suggestions - you asked for help. I will try to betaread as fast as I can, but obviously, sometimes Real Life will have to take precedence. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I have an instinctive grasp of grammar, punctuation and spelling. I can also rearrange sentences, or suggest different ways of wording things to make it more effective. Also, I'm English, so (as I mainly work in the Potterverse) I can help with any BritSpeak. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I will sometimes rewrite a sentence instead of commenting, but I will mark my adjustments in red. I'll indicate what I've changed and ask for opinions. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I like Snape&Harry, Lupin&Harry, Sirius&Harry gen stories. Really, I like Harry getting some sort of family. I'm a big slash fan too. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Really, I'll give most stories a go - I should say, though, I don't particularly like OC's, especially if they're one of the main characters. Oh, and I don't really like Manipulative!Dumbledore either. |
