Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I've just registered to be a beta-reader, so I'm new to this whole experience, which I hope will be a rather pleasurable one (;
I won't be harsh to you, but I'll be blunt. Please don't take my criticism the wrong way, because it will only benefit you in the end.
I'm not a machine. I do have school, friends, family, and other obligations. To one's dismay, fanfiction isn't one of them. I'll try to get back to you in what little spare time I do have for myself. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
1. Spelling and Grammar: I'm very good at quickly pointing out little spelling errors and grammar mistakes. It's a pet peeve of mine when people think "they're" is equivalent to "there" and "their".
2. Songs: Most of my stories are to a song, which helps me embody more emotion. I take the verses of the song and try to make what I write as accurate as possible and fit the song to a 'T', like anyone else would do. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I tend to add little tidbits to a story that may not make sense or be relevant to what I had previously written. I can also stray off topic and completely dismiss the original storyline and purpose. Some facts of mine may also not be accurate, which is why i do internet researching to try and make my stories as factual as I can. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
High School Musical & Wizards of Waverly Place, but my mind is open to pretty much anything, except in my 'Not My Cup of Tea' section of course. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
No Twilight or Harry Potter stories, please. |
