Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm the kind of beta reader to go to if you want someone who's REALLY picky about grammar and stuff. I intern for a writing class, so I pick up on grammar stuff and awkward sentences very easily. Basically all I ask of anyone who wants me to be a beta is that they don't set deadlines for me, especially really ridiculous ones, like the day after you send it to me. You have to understand that I work, and I can't always be on the computer |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
My biggest strength is that I'm good at picking up grammar mistakes. I have an eye that's drawn to them. I'm also good at mixing around sentences to make them less awkward |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I tend to be lazy. I'm not saying I'm a bad beta (I've betaed a few people, and they have no complaints), but it might take me a day or two to actually get around to reading what you send me... |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
In General: I prefer Anime or Books
On A More Narrow Scale: Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach, Eureka 7, Naruto, or Harry Potter
Even More Narrow: Bleach: IchiRuki stories-Eureka 7:-Renton/Eureka or Talho/Holland stories-Naruto: Stories about Anko-Harry Potter: Remus/Tonks or James/Lily Stories (I'm a hopeless romance).
Even MORE Narrow: Angst stories of the stuff listed above. I'm not a mushy hopeless romance |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Basically anything Yaoi, Yuri, IchiHime, or RenRuki |
