Sorry guys; I'm already betaing a fic and I have my own fics to catch up on! Hopefully life will slow down soon!
Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I genuinely care about the people I'm helping, and I would love nothing more than to see their fics rise to popularity. I do not hold back on any constructive criticism and I would love to simply know that I helped someone in any way!
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am a grammar/spelling Nazi. I berate my own spellcheck if I'm in the mood. I can see a Sue where others do not. I comment on almost every aspect that could use work.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not big on plots. Grammar, spelling and Sue testing, I'm your girl. Plots? No. I can't offer plot ideas. I also judge OFCs much too harshly; sometimes I see a Sue where there is none.
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Stories that have a plot that the author intends to follow. I also prefer stories written by authors who accept that they need help. Other than that, I'm not real picky. And one very important thing that I remembered due to some recent events: If you no longer want me as a beta, TELL ME. I won't be offended; I'll understand completely. But I can't respect anyone who cannot tell me directly that my services are no longer required and continues trying to be my friend. No. Not happening.
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Stories where the author isn't sure about his/her plot. I can't help you with an unstable plot, and I don't intend to. I'm not partial to slash and I refuse to do incest. I also don't beta for stubborn authors. I'm not so big on Sue fics or plots that strain credulity and the like; for further details, please contact me. Better safe than sorry.
