Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Well, I'm a grammar Nazi. Plain and simple.
I also specialise in correct placement of spaces and lines, and such; some people have a real problem with that.
Also, FF.net's formatting sometimes doesn't quite mesh with MS Word formatting. That I can fix.
If you wish to have me beta your fic, you must fulfil the following:
1. You must have a fic. (Duh.)
2. You must be able to speak English to a professional standard, NOT a fangirl standard.
3. Your fic must be of appreciable quality, and not just mush.
4. It can't be a selection of drabbles, or single-sentence fics. I think that the author alone should be able to correct mistakes.
5. You must be able to PM and e-mail promptly (eg. within 4-7 days), and be able to update quickly and efficiently.
Got that? Yay. I'm ready.
One more thing: Yup, I'm a school student. I have numerous other appointments, so don't expect 10,000 words betaed overnight. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
OK. Name any word under 15 letters, in English, and I can spell it correctly.
Also, being a fiction writer myself, I have great skills in grammar and punctuation. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm quite lazy - if I don't like your fic, I might have to drop it. Also, depending on the severity of my schedule, I won't be able to beta quickly. But if I do, know well that YOU ARE LOVED!! |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Action stories, massive multi-chapters, and humour fics that aren't smutty or crappy.
Or just check my profile for favourites. |
