Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
As a beta, my strengths lie in details, plot-holes, punctiation, and character development/dialog. My spelling and grammar aren't the best, but i will be sure to fix everything that i spot. I am not perfect so I am bound to make mistakes or I might take longer then I say I will. Rest assurd that I will do my best and if i feel that I can't do it for some reason or another, I will inform you. I have nothing against Homosexual or Heterosexual couplings and would be willing to read any sort of pairing. If you wish me to be your Beta I would appreciate an open line of communication, if your not going to be writing for a while or if you decide you want another Beta instead for instance, I will be much more offended if you leave me waiting for months on end without knowledge of when to expect you next than I could ever be over you wishing for another Beta. I would also appreciate it if you would tell me what you believe your weaknesses to be so that I may be extra alert for those certain aspects.br /

Also, if you are a new writer looking for a beta, please note that I would be happy to help you. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Details, plot-hole spotting, punctuation, organization, and character development/dialog are all my strong points. I am told I have eyes like a hawk when it comes to things like this so we are all good here! I'm also very good with imagery and metaphor should you be struggling in these areas. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My biggest weakness would have to be that I have a horrible tendency to procrastinate. I tend to put things off to the last possible minute unless pushed, though I do make it a point to get my Betaing done as quickly and throughly as I can. If I seem to take a very long amount of time it is best if you send me a message bugging me about it, otherwise I'll never get things done. Other than that I have been working very hard to improve my grammar and spelling, and though I will never claim to be a master at spotting mistakes, I will be sure to do my best to change any mistakes I see. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I would perfer things that I have on my list seeing as I know all of these things and am familiar with them. I will also Beta Yaio/Yuri fics if asked. My personal favorite genres are angst, Tragedy, Hurt/Comfort, Friendship, Family, and Romance. These are my favorites, of course, but I love to read anything really. I'll also accept poetry and pure dialouge fics. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Chat Speak fics are fics that I am afraid I cannot accept. I am the type of person who spells everything out in full complete senteces when 'chatting' or 'texting' and thusly have great trouble understanding anything in 'chatspeak'. Extreme!Alternative Univereses (AUs) are not what I usually read, however, as long as I am told that what I am reading is AU and that the AU is beliavable I will gladly read it. What I will not read, however, are fics that are completely Out Of Character of the characters. Thusly, I apologise, but it is very unlikely that I will read parodies. |
