Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am a girl and currently rising sophmore in college. I served as the Fiction Editor of my high school's literary magazine, so I have experience in editing and workshopping. As a beta-reader, I will proofread for grammar, spelling, and conventions, as well as for continuity with the story the fic is based on. I really love Ron/Hermione, and have gained a real insight into their characters, so if you need help in developing or improving the plot of a R/Hr fic, or how Ron and Hermione interact, I'm the beta-reader for you. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I excel at grammar and spelling, and at finding interesting plot points in canon writing to move a story along. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am not so good at editing or helping the plot of AU (alternate universe) fics. Also not too good at coming up with a completely new plot-line. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
My first preference of beta-reading is Ron/Hermione romances (this can be anything from cheesy cliches to hardcore M-rated), though I'll beta-read anything that shows R/Hr in a good light. I'll also do any other canon couples found in Harry Potter. I prefer one-shots to long and involved stories, but if interested enough, I'll give longer fics a shot. I also have to re-emphasize that I am a huuuuuge grammar/spelling freak, so I'm serious when it comes to things like that. I will find errors and correct them! |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I would prefer not to beta-read any stories that are not Harry Potter. Also, any ships that aren't canon. EXCEPTION: Neville/Luna, because they rock. |
