Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm new to the Beta thing, but I read alot of fanfic, as well as having written fanfic, origonal stories and poetry for a long time, and I proof-read my friend's stories for them. I also have some experience with tutoring, and I have helped out with some english classes in a japanese school I attended for almost a year in 2006, so I know how to give honest advice and feedback. I'm also good at helping those who haven't known english for a long time.
I believe everyone and every story has potential, although some stories I have read have screamed for help, and no one is perfect.
I like to help, and I think this sort of thing would also improve my own quality of writting.
-Just keep in mind that i have my final exams until the begining of November, so untill then I may be slow at reading. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I have an open mind, and I have experience in writing fanfic and other stories, so i can give good feedback. I'm also honest, but kind and I'm not the sort to be judgemental or biased. I also have some experience in tutoring, so I know how to give advice, and honest feedback. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Firstly, I'm not perfect. Also, I'm not the world's best speller, although I can point out mistakes at least as much as i make them. Mostly, I'm a perfectionist. I'm not too good with most of the lingo, such as I don't know what AU means, but I try. (If anyone wants to explain all those terms that everyone else on here seem to know, I'ld be enternally greatfull.) Lastly, being Australia, don't expect me to know anything about American or European geography, or spell things the way Americans do. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
-Longer stories
-Supernatural |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
-As far as smut goes, I don't like guy on guy, or family orientated stories. I also don't like Ruby/Sam and Ruby/Dean pairings (supernatural) or certain pairings in Harry Potter fanfic (Such as Teacher/Student relations).
If it isn't smut, however, it is usually fine, and I will tell you if it isnt.
Also if I only know one side of a crossover, I'm not confident in helping out with it. |
