Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I like to read stuff that is literate, but it doesn't have to be, as long as it's not hard to read. I'm not gonna sugar-coat, so if you don't like what I have to say then don't send anything else to me, but I am helping. What I mean is, would you rather I say it's good and you post a piece of crap up, or I tell you it's a piece of crap and to fix it and you post something amazing up? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that by sending anything to me, you're going to put up something amazing, I'm not that good and I probably never will be. I honestly don't care whether or not you send me anything. If you send me something, then that's fine, I'm happy to help, but if you don't then there's more peace in my life. If I tell you what you need to be told about your story and I get chewed out for it, it's not gonna be pretty, so if you don't want the possibility of anyone saying ANYTHING bad about your story, don't send it in 'cause I'm not gonna take anyone's crap. And (just a side note) I'm not gonna sugarcoat, but I'm also not going to straight up say 'this is crap, do something about it', I'm going to tell you what's wrong and what needs to be fixed. If the characters are supposed to be OOC, tell me because I WILL look to see if they are in character and point it out if they aren't. I will want to know the plot too, just so I know what I'm reading. I don't want a 10,000 word summary, but just a general idea so I know what's going on. And I think that's about it, so if you read any of this (though I doubt it) you know what to do and what not to do, anything you do from hear is your responsibility and not mine. Thank you.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am pretty good at creativity. Most of the time. I can spell pretty well, but my brain does like to freeze and I may get mixed up. Grammar, after I've woken up, anytime before that I'm a leading-class idiot. Character personalities on some series, but not all.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Starting out, not writing in pretty much all dialogue. My brain likes to freeze on me (as stated before) and I can mess up. I also lose interest after awhile. DO NOT take this personally, I have ADD and I cannot focus for long amounts of time. I'm not annoying bad with it, but it is the reason I don't watch movies very often.
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I prefer Transformers or NCIS-type stuff. I will read others, but, I write NCIS and Transformers, so I'm used to those. I like horror, tragedy, angst, etc. For Transformers, I WILL read the inter-dimensional travel stuff. I don't write it very often, but I will read it. I will do romance, just not very often and the story has to REALLY interest me, so if you wanna send me a romance, I'm gonna need a description first and it cannot have sex scenes. I don't do sex scenes, sorry... But add on to that, there can be sexual humor, just no sex scenes. Anything like that that goes further than joking words is out of the question!
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Stories with gay people, I have nothing against them, I just don't read the stories. For the most part, anime. I watch maybe five animes and I haven't even begun to get the personalities, so for now don't bother. Comedy. I don't do comedy. If it's comedy, don't bother. Anything romance that goes over rated T, M is usually when the sex comes in and I don't do that. If there is sex in your rated T romance story, find someone else.
