Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
hey, i'm pinball62. my general style for checking through stories normally is as follows; i'll first read over the text quickly to see if there are any obvious mistakes e.g. typos. then, i'll read it more throughly to make sure the actual wording makes sense and the story 'flows' like it's supposed to. finally, i'll re-read it again to make absolutely sure there are no mistakes. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
i absolutely love reading fanfiction and i can be quite picky when i read something so i generally manage to pick out mistakes even when i'm not trying lol. i also get very involved in these stories and i feel that that helps me pick out any scenes or pieces of speech which aren't quite in context with the rest of the story. but most importantly, like i've already mentioned, i love reading fanfiction (even to the extent where i neglect my college work lol) |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
i think one of my only weaknesses when it comes to stories is that sometimes my spellings suck but, hey, thats why we've got spell check lol |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
there aren't really any stories i'd prefer to beta but i LOVE lemons so yeah, i'll beta them any day lol |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
the only things i'd rather not do are poems and song fics but apart from that, i'd do anything |
