Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am someone who will take the time to read a chapter and will give very detailed comments. I will look at spelling, punctuation and grammar (if wrong I can get very irritated by it). Also I will look at characterisation and plot. I check my e-mail everyday and so will try and respond as quickly as I possibly can.
If someone wants me to beta for them then they have to be willing to accept criticism as well as praise. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am A-Level english language student which means I have a strong grasp on spelling and grammar. It also means that I can understand what works and what doesn't in a story. I have a very good knowledge of all the HP books (especially around the marauder area) and stories that have featured in Torchwood and LOST. Being British I can help with 'britishisms.' I will also help on making sure your story flows and is believable.
Even though I am partial to certain ships, I will be objective when beta-ing a fiction. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Sometimes I get weighed down by coursework and revision and so I will have to delay beta-ing a fanfic. However I will give warning if this happens. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Like everyone I have certain stories that I prefer. When it comes to the issue of ships I am most willing to beta: Fred/Angelina, James/Lily, Ron/Hermione (HP), Owen/Tosh, Jack/Ianto (TW), Skate, Desmond/Penny and Jack/Juliet (LOST).
I would prefer to read stories that are going to be slightly longer however I will be willing to read shorter ones.
In all honesty I will beta pretty much anything. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Anything M-rated
Remus/Sirius, Jack/Kate and George/Angelina |
