Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I have some experience beta-ing some stories for a friend of mine, and feel that I can do a pretty good job at doing so. I can work with a fic however you ask me to, whether its suggestions, ideas, additions, flow-control, or simple grammar and spelling checks. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good at word choice, catching spelling and grammar mistakes, and re-wording phrases when its a tad confusing. i'm also rather good at contributing ideas when asked and keeping characters in character. im also good at catching plot holes. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
my weaknesses? i have certain ideas and its hard to get me to pull away from them and not be bias when i beta. for example, i don't like angel as a character, so tend to be bias against him even in the stories i help beta. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
i prefer ones with happy endings (^_^), and especially enjoy romances. my fav ships are buffy/spike, willow/oz, joyce/giles, harry/ginny, draco/hermione, and jacob/bella, though im completely up for most other ships. i also enjoy angst and drama and comedy and adventure. most anything, really. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
the only ships i do not like to beta, are slash, femmeslash (my one and only exception being willow/tara), harry/hermione, and angel/buffy. |
