Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am an aspiring author with 2 fan fictions in progress and I plan to do more. I regard these fan fictions as pieces of art and I thoroughly enjoyed writing them.
If you are going to send me a chapter to beta, please make sure you made an attempt to render it readable. I would also prefer it if you send me the chapter when it is complete. I will accept portions if there is enough to attempt to beta. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am quite good at cutting apart and rewording awkward sentences. I am good at making settings and characters come alive. I can detect Mary Sues. I am fairly good at noticing grammar errors. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I may miss some errors on the first go. I may not have total knowledge of certain universes (can't tell if a certain character is OOC). My "Mary Sue Sensor Suite" is not perfect, I may miss a Mary Sue or peg a non Mary Sue as a Mary Sue. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I will beta almost anything. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'd prefer it if didn't send me slash or any fiction of a similar nature. I will not beta read bash fictions either, it doesn't matter if they are a parody of the fandom. I'd also prefer not to beta romance fiction. Also I will not beta read erotic fan fiction, NO EXCEPTIONS. |
