Note: I'm strictly 'Brit' in English. Not that I don't tend to write American English at times (some minor slips, really), but my beta-ing would absolutely be taking the form of British English. So if I point out that you should be writing 's' instead of 'z' or adding a 'u' in a word, it's because of that. Or you could always just tell me beforehand that you write in American English and I'll look over those tiny differences. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Grammar and sentence structure. These have always been my strongest points. Rephrasing sentences is a past-time of mine.br /br /
br /
br /br /
br /
My vocab is not as superb as others, but it is relatively good and can sort of be depended on; but if you want something better, there's something called the 'thesaurus'. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Procrastination. Unless you give me a deadline, I can put aside any work assigned for as long as possible just to catch up on my own hobbies, mainly reading off ff.net, reading manga/books and watching animes.br /br /
br /
br /br /
br /
Blunt. Unless you don't like the truth and nothing but the cold, hard truth from my point of view, I suggest you don't look for me for any sort of judgment. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Horror. It's a bit of a selfish matter, really. I'm working on my 'Horror' skills, so I like to read others' works to see what kind of plots/characterisations/etc. people would tend to think of and categorise under 'Horror'.br /br /
br /
br /br /
br /
Humour. Another selfish preference. If I'm ever feeling down, I'd love a 'Humour' story to cheer me up, no matter how little.br /br /
br /
br /br /
br /
Friendship. I'm a sucker for stories about the strength of a bond, particularly in 'Friendship'. Ban and Ginji of Get Backers is a good example here.br /br /
br /
br /br /
br /
Angst. I write Angst, watch Angst, read Angst, live Angst, LOVE Angst. So don't be shy to give me all your Angst-filled stories. If you succeed in making me cry or my heart ache for the characters, I'll tell you and you'll know that you've done well in this genre.br /br /
br /
br /br /
br /
Tragedy. Unless it's badly played out, the method of death; otherwise, I'd love to read one.br /br /
br /
br /br /
br /
Romance. I'm a bit of a Romantic, but I can't handle sap. I adore fluff despite myself and I can deal with eroticism and PWP's are more or less an entertainment source. I find it strangely amusing that people can write smut for the sake of writing smut. Perverts, the lot of us. Not that I've ever attempted a smut before. Yet.br /br /
br /
br /br /
br /
Erotica. As mentioned beforehand, I don't mind Erotica writings. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
PWP. Porn-Without-Plot. ABSOLUTELY NO. I can amuse myself with reading them, but I have no particular desire to beta one. They tend to get boring after a while.br /br /
br /
br /br /
br /
Wh3n ppl typ3 lyk dis. ...I could start ranting, but then you'd never see the end of this.br /br /
br /
br /br /
br /
correct not the bit grammatically least. This is just ridiculous. |
