Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm pretty enthusiastic about beta reading, and I'm a fast reader, so I'll get your stories back quickly so you can post them. I adore slash, and I'm not queasy when it comes to graphic stuff (either sexual or bloody/violent). Descriptive words are great, just not when there are so many they clog up a sentence, so if your fic is full of flowery adjectives, I may not be a fan. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good at grammar, and am up to offering advice to those who are not. I'm also a bit of a spelling/vocabulary freak. My best friends are a dictionary and a thesaurus. Adept at Mary Sue spotting and exterminating, and good at clearing up "filler" words from sentences. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have difficulty with tenses, and I sometimes find myself switching back and forth between them. Also, I agonize over something until I'm sure it's how I want it; that can be a very debilitating habit at times. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Oneshots are easy for me to do quickly, I'll accept slash, gen or het. I also like Modern Fics (in the Newsies fandom) |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Self-inserts or time travel fics, Erik/Meg PotO fics, Willabeth PotC fics, Chouse, Wuddy or Hameron fics in the House fandom. Not really my thing. |
