Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am a hypochondriac (look, I read the dictionary too!), permanently disgruntled munchkin who wishes to be much smarter than I am. Do I have a sense of humor? No idea. Can I write well? That's completely up to you. Will I beta? Ha, yes, always and everything with top speed! I'll do my very best and thank you for the privilege, should you choose to be so kind. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Um... Well, I like writing, for one, which I think counts as a strength. If I like it, I do a pretty good job, right? And... I'm good at finding and pointing out weaknesses in rhythm and flow. Also, I know a thing or two about (trying) to be funny, so I might be able to help! I'm good at spelling errors and... weeding out repetitiveness! I'm also pretty quick! |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Punctuation is not my forte. Sure, I can spot run on sentences and a few basic mistakes in grammar, but I'm really not a grammar kid. Also, please don't come to me and just say 'make this better because I don't like it'. You're the author! You make it better! |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'd say fantasy, because I love all things magic. But, then again, I've read some spectacular everyday ordinary stories. I'll stick with this; either fantasy; or humor. If you don't have either of those, a good storyline will make up for all misgivings! So I'll do anything you like. ^ ^
Also, I like to beta things that are based on something I've got some prior knowledge too. I know lots about anime, a good deal about video games, a good deal about books, and some about TV. I'm willing to beta nearly anything, tho', and I can always learn! |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Anything rated over T is something I'm not going to beta. I'm sorry; I know that a lot of wonderful fiction is out there rated M, and I admit that I've read some of it. But it's not my cup of tea; not at all. I also won't accept stories that should be rated M, but are rated T. And I'll give you a good earful too! Read it loud and clear, folks: I do not work on here for any kind of bedroom activity!
That said, I'm sorry for yelling. ^ ^ |
