Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hello! My name's Rachel aka Dare Deville. I enjoy reading stories with interesting and original plots, that usually have a good twist. Most of the time I read romance and adventure fics so I know how to write/edit them. I'm on the internet frequently, so if you need me to edit your story within a certain time, I should be able to do so. I'll admit that I'm not the best editer because I have my friend to edit my stories for me. But the reason why I'm a beta reader, is so I can edit stories that need help with the minor stuff. ie. Spelling, grammar. If you have a story that you want me to beta read then please send me a message of the characters, plot, summary, and/or pairings. Keep in mind that I'm Canadian so I spell things differently. Example: colour, flavour, favourite. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
My strengths are spelling, grammar and descriptions. If you need help describing your character's appearance or a place, then I can help you with that. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Hmm... My weaknesses is seperating the text into paragraphs and managing to make every character have a fair part in the story. Sometimes I'll forget a character and leave them out for a couple of chapters without realizing it. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I prefer romance and action/adventure stories. I enjoy stories with OCs that have an interesting character and backround. I like stories where the OC is paired with a character and/or an OC is paired with another OC. I like it when OCs are brought to another world, or when the characters from the book, movie, anime,ect are brought to the Oc's world. But I will only beta read those kind of stories if the OC is not a Mary Sue and the story has a unique plot line. I will also beta read stories with just the original characters and no OCs. I also enjoy suspence/angst stories. These are the pairings in stories that I will beta read:

Sorry if I misspelled any character's name. If there are some pairings that I forgot to mention, and you're not sure if I'd like the pairing(s) of your story, then please message me with a list of the pairing(s) in the story that you would like me to beta read.
I will also beta read a story with crack pairings if the story is homour and parody. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I don't like yaoi/yuri. If the characters are clearly not homosexual, then why make them so? There are certain pairings in anime/books/movies,ect that I don't like. I will not write any stories if the pairings are of the following:

I will not beta read any stories that is focused on any religion either. I'm okay if it's mentioned just a bit, but that's as far as I'll go. Also, I will not beta read any stories with racist and sexist comments. |
