Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hey guys! Okay, so I absolutely love writing and reading, especially fanfics, because it allows readers to be as creative as they want. I'm a pretty fair beta-reader. I've taken several Honors and AP level english courses, so I can't find mechanical errors pretty quickly, and I'm good at finding new ways to develop an idea or storyline.
I'm a pretty nice person to work with. I love talking to new people, especially about their writing. So don't be afraid to approach me, no matter who you are.
However, I do ask, that if you ask me to help you, not to get angry at my suggestions. If I make a comment on your work, I'm not marking it off as a character flaw of yours, I'm merely trying to help you out, so please don't get all defensive. You are the one who asked for help in the first place. I've had this happen to me before, and that's why I stopped beta-ing for a while.
But now I'm back! And ready to help! So, drop me a line. :-] |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good at finding spelling, wording, and tense mistakes. Reading fics over, I can also find passages where you should continue with something, or cut some bits out, pretty well. I'm also pretty good at coming up with ideas to develop a story when needed. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I do have writer's block, just like everyone else. I sometimes, may not be able to help you if you're stuck, because I'm just as stuck as you are. I also may not be able to find the exact problems you feel you have with your fic. So if I return a chapter to you, with no corrections, I apologize. I'm a critical reader, but perhaps not as critical a reader as you need. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I love romantic fics, OR mysterious fics, so those I prefer over others. But I'll accept anything.
Series that I'll accept over others: FMA, Bleach and Harry Potter.
Pairings I like: Royai (RoyxRiza), EdxWin, DennyxMaria, IchiRuki, GinxRan, HitsuxHina (HitsugayaxMomo), RonxHermione, Harry...uh...anybody but Ginny or Cho, LupinxTonks. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Okay...honestly, I will not read Yaoi/Yuri stories. UNLESS! The pair is canon. If this pair is found in the series/novel, then...that's alright. But anything else, no thank you.
If you notice, I focus more on Bleach and FMA fics. If you have a fic from a different series, I may not be able to do much for you, because I may not be familiar with it.
I'm also not very fond of AU fics...but I'll definitely look at them if you need help. |
