Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I would describe my betareading skills in almost every category as "mediocre". When I get a request I'll try to answer in about a day, for I'm checking e-mails and so on daily. I would aprecciate it, though, given the possibility it might take a little bit longer, if you do not to rush me. I'm just human, after all.
I can check for grammar, spelling if your computer won't and of course logical mistakes. After all, they are the worst.
Zu meinen Beta-Fähigkeiten was das Deutsche angeht: Deutsch ist meine Muttersprache, also traue ich mir in dieser Hinsicht etwas mehr zu als im Englischen. Speziell Konjunktivfehler entdecke ich relativ schnell, und ich bin auch in der Lage, etwas zum Stil beizutragen, indem ich beispielsweise auf häufig auftretende Wiederholungen ein und desselben Wortes hinweise und Verbesserungsvorschläge mache oder ähnliches. Nur fragt mich bitte nicht nach der aktuellen, korrekten Rechtschreibung... keiner kennt die so wirklich. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Well, I guess I'm quite good at finding grammar mistakes but of course I don't know what exactly your understanding of "grammar mistakes" is. It might be best to check the writing style of my own stories; anything along those lines is fine. As told before, I'd say I'm average. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I guess my biggest weakness is that I can't exactly pinpoint whether the word presented to me is american or british english. They taught us both in school and now they expect us to know the differences. I simply don't. I TRY to stick to american english but... right now they are teaching me to write british english. So you better don't count on me in case you are interested in your story being completely one of the above mentioned writing styles. Some people are. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I like shounen-ai and/or shounen-ai fanfictions the most. Also I'm interested in any sort of "crack-pairing". |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I basically read anything as long as it is to one of my preferred fandoms. I don't like fluff, though. But I will read it if it's not too cliche. |
