Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm very involved in the stories that I betaread. I'm very perfectionistic when I'm invested in a story, in grammar, spelling, plot, et ceteras. I definitely prefer helping people with basic skills, but I'm glad to help anyone learn what ought to be common knowledge but, apparently, isn't. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm a grammar and spelling nazi. I also am good at finding most plot holes, I'm an obsessive spell-checker, and I work a lot with character development. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I haven't had much experience writing action sequences. I don't know how well I write from a guy's perspective, never having been one myself. Sometimes, plot holes do escape me. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Obviously, I'm much better with stories where I know the setting. I'm preferential to stories that happen in-continuity, rather than AU stories; however, a well-thought out AU is always preferable to a mediocre story in-continuity. Originality is also a plus. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'd rather not betaread excessive or plotless smut. |
