Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I accept to beta English or German language Saint Seiya stories as long as they don't contain yaoi pairings or gross vulgar language. I'm critical about orthographical and grammar mistakes, and I will mercilessly point out everything that I deem wrong or unbefitting. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
My strengths are orthography, grammar, British English, and in-depth knowledge of the Saint Seiya universe (I'm webmaster of saint-seiya.de and co-admin of saintseiyafan.com after all). |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Slang terminology or dialects aren't my forte. If you use American English, it is likely that I might automatically correct words to the British English forms. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I prefer humorous and epic adventures in the Saint Seiya universe. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I will not beta any Saint Seiya stories that contain yaoi pairings, especially none involving Camus, DeathMask, Milo, Shun, and Hyoga in any gay relationships. The same goes for yuri stuff, especially such involving Shaina and/or Marin. (BTW, I don't have anything against homosexuality, and you might notice that I even wrote Shounen Ai myself about Kunzite and Zoisite from Sailormoon - but I totally don't like it in the Saint Seiya universe.)
Then I absolutely dislike vulgar language. If your stories contain excessive use of vulgar language or explicit porn, don't even bother to ask me.
Furthermore, I'm not interested in beta reading stuff that is either OOC or total AU. I want to read about Saint Seiya characters in the Saint Seiya universe, not about strange people that accidentally share the names of the characters, but act totally differently and run around in an unfamiliar universe. That said, I won't read Crossover fanfics either. |
