Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am very honest when it comes to my critique. I do not sugarcoat and have been betareading for more than six years unofficially. I commonly beta read for people whose first language is not English, although contact may need to be maintained if you wish for this because it is not always easy to completely understand what an author is going for. I always give helpful sudjestions and the proper way of formatting something when I correct it in order to help writers in the future. My pet peev is informal writting outside of dialogue and the constant use of the same word in a paragraph with the exception of proper names. My favourites tools are spellcheck and my thesaurus. Also, please keep in mind that I use Canadian spelling unless specifically requested not to. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
My strengths are my knowledge of proper punctuation, the laws of English grammar and writing, as well as my strong vocabulary. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Complex word tenses. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I would be overjoyed to beta GaixLee (Naruto) or KuroganexFai (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle) fanfiction as they are my favourites. If you wish to see a list of my favourite characters and pairings, please visit my author's bio. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I am not a yuri fangirl, however I would beta a yuri story upon request. I will beta most stories or pairings with the exception of LeexGaara and LeexNeji. Also, please refrain from sending me lemons. I will beta them upon request but please note that they are not my prefered type of story to read. |
