Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am a complete nerd, which means that I'd be a pretty good beta. Just joking, I'm kidding peoples! I'll beta for pretty much anything, even if I've never seen it before. It will probably take me anywhere from 1 day to 2 weeks for me to get your story back to you. I usually do both nit-picking (spelling and grammar mistakes), and the big picture (writing style, OOC-ness, etc.). As long as you don't flame me cause of my suggestions, then we're good. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm usually best at spelling and grammar, although writing style is one of my favorites. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have trouble not being a perfectionist when I'm beta-ing, so I'll probably shred a story down to the bare, and then build it back up, making suggestions along the way. ;) I also have a trouble with semicolons. And I mean lots of trouble :) I use too many commas myself (I think) but I can pick them out easily if they're being over used. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I especially like Bleach and Inuyasha, pretty much any book, and most of of the TV shows (except for Danny Phantom. I hate that show). I mostly like het pairing, but I'll do slash/yaio/yuri if asked. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I will NOT do rape. Period. End of discussion. I'll do abuse, drug abuse, anything BUT rape. |
