Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hey, everyone. I am a writer who is intensely disappointed in the quality of Warriors fanfictions on this site. All too often I see Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus, names with the surname capitalized (i.e., BlueStar) or without it capitalized when it should be (i.e., Thunderclan). As an avid Warriors reader and obsessive fan, it's a huge disappointment to see people that claim to be huge fans and then completely screw up the way Warriors is even written...which is why I'm volunteering to be a beta reader. I'll do anything to improve the horrid quality of some fanfictions I've seen recently. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm best at spelling and editing. My strengths are Warriors stories and the editing that comes with them. I consider my complete Warriors obsession to be a strength, because I will know what you have done wrong, where you have done it, and what you can do to improve it. I won't stand for a less-than-almost-perfect story. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My internet sometimes stops working so I can't be there. There you go. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I like angst, romance, and adventure. Anything genred "General" seems to me as if the author just couldn't decide what their story wanted to be, and in that case, is not interesting. I also enjoy oneshots and drabbles. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'm not going to look over parodies and humor, because there's no point in editing and revising something that's just there to make somebody give a random giggle. Songfics aren't my cup of tea either because a lot of times authors are not to the point and you can't tell which lyric connects to which group of paragraphs. |
