Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I try to read everything as objectively as I can... I try to look closely at characterization especially, as most of the time, grammatical and spelling errors stand out to me. I don't really have any expectations, just that you try your best and be patient with me, as I may need to take awhile to read over it completely. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Spelling and grammar... And cliffhangers. I'm pretty good with characterization, but I realize that it wouldn't be called a 'fanfiction' if you don't go out of character sometimes. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I make my share of typos, I won't lie, but I'm generally good at finding them if I look over it. (I often don't with my own work) I've also been told I don't put enough description into my work, which is because I don't like typing a bunch of crap about which way the wind is blowing and how green the grass is. I don't mind reading it, just don't expect me to add much more in. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Anime, yaoi especially. I'll read anything, but I can't say I'll know who you're talking about. Usually in those instances I'll be more on the spelling/grammar side. Also... Give me your author's notes, I love to read them. They're fun. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I can force myself to read just about anything... Except M-preg. Never been a fan of that. |
