Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I would be willing to act as a beta for anyone writing short or long-term stories, preferably in the LoK genre, though my literary skills would be enough to help anyone if need be. If you would like my help (and I am told I am good at giving it), I only ask that you be concientious of my time and needs. If I give you a date, honour it, and I will honour it in turn.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am fair at spelling and grammar, and I am quite fast at editing, often in a matter of hours given enough focus. I can keep track of several things at once, and think well in advance. I am also obsessive when it comes to detailing, and given the number of people I've helped (in the real world, not on the net), I am good at teaching people how to do better for themselves. I also excell at the old world style of speech.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weaknesses lie namely that I am a little too obsessive, but when it comes to writing there are no glaring problems. I could be interpreted as a tad demanding or critical depending on your personality, but I usually am not trying to be. In written word, when I am focused on something, I become a little cold or blunt in the way I address things. It's not personal, just the way I am. Other than that, and the fact that I may be a little too focused on trivial details, nothing comes to mind. Logic is key.
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Adventure is more my genre than anything else. I like plot and backstory, and the riddle of a good novel. Not to brag, but I take martial arts myself, and associate with almost a dozen other people who do, so I tend to be very choosy when it comes to my fight scenes. I also like violence, lots of violence. What can I say, I'm a traditionalist.
Romance is also good, though I don't write it myself. Pretty much I'm game for anything, expect perhaps, the few provisos included below.
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I will NOT do Shota. I refuse. That is pedaphilia and should not even be legal. If I find you I will seek you out and hurt you. Badly. I know how.
Having said that, angst isn't my thing either. Life is just depressing enough without indulging in a negative fantasy world. Nothing is wrong with it in interest of plot, but otherwise, I would rather not. Especially if that is the sole purpose of the story.
Also, if something defies logic, then there is not a chance in hell I will partake in it. I've said my piece.
