Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I love reading new stories, even if it is unfinished. I will only read stories that I know and have written for, so please do not send me anything for, say, Twilight. Which I hate, incidentally. Usually I'm really nice. If the story is just not good, I'll tell you, but we can work together to make it better. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good at detecting out of character...ness. I am an extreme grammar Nazi and will call you out on it if it is too obvious. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not a very good criticizer. Usually I try to avoid hurting feelings, and that isn't always a good thing. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I really prefer the ships that I ship, because then I understand the emotions/feelings involved in the relationship. I ship:
POTC: Sparrabeth
NCIS: McAbby, Tiva, Jibbs, Tate,
House: Huddy, Chameron, Hilson,
Criminal Minds: JJ/Reid, Morgan/Garcia, Hotch/Prentiss
Harry Potter: Ginny/Harry, R/Hr, Sirius/Remus, Luna/Neville
RENT: Roger/Mimi, Mark/Angel/Maureen, Maureen/Joanne, Roger/Mark, Collins/Angel |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I do not like extremely sappy, fluffy romantic fics. Try to include at least a little angst. A story without it just isn't natural. I don't like people who don't use basic punctuation and I won't accept it if you don't. Also, switching tenses really annoy me. I'm picky about that kind of thing. I don't like poetry. |
