Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
If you're looking for a beta reader who will be honest with you about your characterization, faithfulness to the original canon material, writing style, and general story flow, I might be the beta reader for you. I can be a little blunt (and seemingly harsh), but I try to be constructive and helpful at the same time.
I expect any who seeks the help of any beta reader to be ready to accept criticism, and not write it off as being too harsh. I believe that writers who take CC gracefully and apply it to their writing to be the ones with potential.
I've also been a member of this site for over eight years, so I've seen many pieces of fanfiction.
And briefly, what mediums I'm familiar with in each fandom:
Chrono Trigger - Game
Full Metal Alchemist - Anime *only*
Honey and Clover - Anime and Japanese live action drama (I believe the anime faithfully follows the manga, however, so I'll include that, too)
One Piece - Anime and manga (no movies, please)
Silent Hill - Games 1-4 and Origins (no movie, please)
Suikoden - Games 1-5 and Tactics (I'll do my best with the Gaidens, but I can't guarantee anything)
Zelda - All games except Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Spelling, monitoring characterization and writing style. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Grammar is definitely not my strongest point, so I can only point out obvious mistakes. I also don't have the time to devote to multi-chaptered stories unless I really get involved in the story. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
One shots are preferred! |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Absolutely no self-inserts. No script format, or anything else listed as entries not allowed per the Terms of Service, please. OCs will only be taken if you can take the criticism I'll likely give out. Rape and hurt/comfort are also gray areas. |
