Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am a college student and have been a member of FF for a few years now. I have many favorites and I have just started writing fanfics myself. I believe I can be very helpful with stories whether it is just checking for grammer or, if asked, helping with the plot. Though I have just started writing myself here, I have read many stories and believe I have enough experience to help improve them. All you have to do is ask. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am very skilled in editing grammar, and spelling. I can point out if the pace of the story feels good(meaning I can tell if the story is being rushed). I can make suggestions in case of plot holes, though I won't edit it the story to change events of the story without permission. I will also point out if there are any phrases repeated in the story. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have a short attention span, so if the chapter is really long,(like 8000 word per chapter) I will try to concentrate, but I might start skimming the chapter and skip over mistakes. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I prefer action, adventure, drama, romance, fantasy. I'm a sucker for a good love story, especially if it is a couple I like. My main couples are DannyxSam, UsagixMamoru, KimxRon, NarutoXHinata. If it is a couple I do not have a preference for, I will accept it. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I don't like over the top gore. I do not like if a character's personality draws to far away from the canon, unless there is a reasonable background to the change in the story. I won't edit pointless smut or lemons. If the sex is justified in the story, I will accept it, though I can't stand rape. And no stories with tragic endings. And also I dislike pointless, random humor and crack fics, though I am willing to accept AU fics if they look good. |
