Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
As an avid fanfiction reader, I see lots of stories that are based on amazing ideas, but could use some improvement in order to make them amazing stories. I would love to help people improve the way they get their ideas across, while trying not to change those ideas. I try to praise as many things as possible, but am also honest. I really just want to be a second pair of eyes and a second brain to help you make your story more enjoyable. I tend to make a lot of suggestions when betareading, but I won't get offended at all if you go with something different. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Wording-helping to avoid repetition, making sentences flow better, simplifying of uneccesarily complicated passages
Helping with the whole concept of "show, don't tell" |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Grammar-I'm not always a grammar whiz, since I'm still in High School |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Oneshots, Romances (T and under only, please!), Comedy, Spoofs |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Battles (I just space out there), anything with too much sexual content (aka anything M-rated). Also, "chatroom" styles are NOT accepted (although I really don't think anybody would want a beta for those). |
