Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm the person who gets WAAY too worked up about a grammatical/spelling error in what I'm reading. Srsly. It bugs me to hell. So, in the fics that I've saved and printed out, I've found myself doing full betas on- without permission! SSH!! *ninja*
But really. I've seen some great fics out there that are completely overrun with errors. It's incredibly sad that so many of today's youth have no sense of proper English. (I can say that, being a youth- albeit one who can actually spell and write properly.)
Bottom line: "You can be smart, you can be dumb.... or you can have good spelling."
PS: Although it says "K-M", take that to mean in my case "M only". I mean, really. If you have to post a K fic, get the hell out. >:0 (I'm kidding. Fics of all ratings are good, but don't feel like you have to censor your fic just 'cos you're under 18! Power to tha [underage] peeps!! XD)
PPS: If you contact me about beta-ing, PLEASE tell me if you don't want me later. Being ignorified makes me sad. It makes me REALLY sad. =( *tear* |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Like I said, spelling and grammar. I mean, even if you're the slightest worried about those in your fic, I'd be happy to look it over for you. I tend not to care as much about plot and characters (although those are important), as long as it makes sense.
I don't want to list "porn expert" under this, but I might have to. *beats head on wall*
I'm also in my 4th year of Spanish, don't know if that makes me fluent or not. I'M NOT GOING TO BETA A FOREIGN LANGUAGE FIC!! *hides* But if your characters want to be all foreign and sexy... yes... ¬__¬ |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Now, if some of you actually bother to read some of my stuff up there... haha. It's terrible. I direct you to the small writing at the bottom where it says when I wrote those. More than a year ago. Yes, well. I pray that I have improved since then. -__-
I'm also the person who completely forgets minor details in series/stories. But I'd be willing to look them up to help someone. ^.^ |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Yaoi (AKA ghey) /heart/ Also psychological/horror stuff is my secret love... (Horror + yaoi? YES!!)
Gay women are also love and win. Shota is totally worshipped. Incest=WINcest. (You know you want to write it... ¬__¬) |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
No het, plz. Also no over-the-top OCs, AKA Mary Sue/Gary Stu. =) ( |
