Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hello! I am ScathingSarcasm, and I enjoy beta reading very much. My beta style is very through and detailed; I like to not only correct an author's mistakes, but give them information and advice on how to become a better author in the fanfiction world. I've done quite a bit of beta work on other sites such as livejournal fanfiction communities, and other more genre-specific sites. Though I enjoy beta reading other work, I rarely bother to edit my own, which in some aspects makes me a hypocrite! |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am a through, concise editor, with a sharp eye for grammar and word-displacement and an extensive vocabulary. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I sometimes overlook the minute details that stand out starkly to the readers themselves. Though I usually realize my mistakes in hindsight, it is something I need to work on as a editor-in-training. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I would prefer to beta stories in the ANIME/MANGA category, with the exceptions of Harry Potter, CSI. Scrubs and Artemis Fowl. Harry Potter, Naruto, and Xiaolin Showdown are some of my favorites, though there are too many others to name. HOWEVER! I can be persuaded otherwise if the story in question catches my interest. Also very IMPORTANT: I ENJOY writing, reading, and betareading YAOI, SLASH, and SHOUNEN AI, aka man on man relationships. If you have a story that contains these, I would be happy to beta it. Lemons/gore OKAY! |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I would not beta read any stories containing the use of Mary Sues and/or Marty Stus. They are just not enjoyable for me. Otherwise, I will accept any genre, including gore/angst/explicit sex/etc. These things do not bother me. |
