Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I haven't written that many stories, but I have read quite a few and I have been reading form this site for quite a few years. I pay close attention to things such as sentence structure and gramatical errors and I always reread stories again and again to make sure (though, I never do that with my own stories *blush*). If I am sent a story, I would make my corrections in a bright color, but still leave the original text intact. I also pay attention to the flow and plot of the story. I believe in sugar-coating things, so I'm for ideal for those sensitive souls out there. I also thing that praise should come with the corrections, so I am constantly lavishing others with praise. I'd probably tack on a few tips on the story at the end of the document. I'm pretty open to everything and I'm not very biased. *big grin* |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm pretty good with enhancing the story plot, ideas, structure and grammar. I'm also, pretty good with having the character not stray from their personality, so I can help a bit with people that have OOC characters. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not some proffesional that has a degree or anything like that. So, I don't have that great of a vocabulary and I'm not that great with spelling. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'll pretty much do anything that is familiar to me. I'm open to all pairings and ideas. Except for anything with Ginny in it. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Action and adventure. *wince* Nor am I good in any way with lemons or limes, no matter what my friends think. I can barely write a makeout scene... |
