Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I read stories and will generally be able to get back to you very quick. If I go out of town I will let you know.
- I have beta-read for buffy the vampire slayer, harry potter, transformers, and star wars stories in the past.
- I am not a technical person regarding researching military, mechanical, etc information. I do, however, know the fan universes that I tend to really like and will be technical about the little nuances that belong to them.
- I read stories and correct spelling, grammar, and will note character and plot inconsistencies.
- I correct in parentheses and also give a reason for my correction. I will give several suggestions of how I would correct it- I will not correct without showing in an obvious way for the author what and why.
- When beta reading I go over it at least twice, once for reading and fixing obvious mistakes and once for going more in depth. I will generally read it again as well to o over it. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
In depth analysis and basic spelling. Watching for inconsistencies and sentence formulation. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I do miss some grammar errors and am not 100% critical of all sentences I read. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Battlestar Galactica, Stargate, Farscape, Buffy the Vampires Slayer, Transformers (G1, G2, BW, BM, Movie-verse), Crossovers between the above, Star Wars, Escaflowne, Naruto, Hikaru No Go |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Harry Potter slash, BSG Slash, most all types of slash... (TF doesn't count if robot/human relationships)
I reserve the right to refuse a story to beta if I don't like it after the first chapter. If I refuse I will still beta the chapter I do read. |
