Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Something I really love is editing and reading the work of others. I love correcting typos, spelling errors and misplaced apostrophes. One of the reasons I love editing is that I'm a grammar nazi, and obvious grammar errors must be corrected! D: Discussing plots and characters is something I really love. I'm Australian, so I naturally follow English style spelling, but American style spelling is just fine with me.
In summary; I can spot spelling errors from a mile away, and beta reading is a very fun thing to do for me, for some reason! ^^ Give me a shout if you'd like me to look over and edit your story.
My editing style; I look over the work, correct occasional errors, insert notes for larger errors or debatable points, and then discuss the story, plotline and character motives with you if it needs to be understood. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
* I have an inbuilt misplaced-apostrophe-detector. (That means I'm a grammar nazi)
* I've memorised the dictionary - or so I've been told
* In fandoms like Phoenix Wright and Kingdom Hearts, where I know the characters like the back of my hand, I can spot and correct OOC behaviour very well. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Sometimes I over-edit. I might be a bit tactless when I talk about your story. I might not agree with what you're writing about, or I might argue with you over a trifling point such as what colour your character has dyed her hair. I try to keep these things in check. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I don't really have preferences, although I won't be able to help with characterisation in fandoms I'm not experienced with. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
No lemons whatsoever :D Oh, and crack. As in really, really stupid crack. |
