Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Well, hey! I'd love to help you out if you need some proofreading or advice on your story. It always helps to have a third party check things out before you publish. I'm a fair reader and a willing victim if you want to bounce ideas off of me. My main goal is to make your story flow and read well.
If you'd like an example of my writing, please feel free to take a gander at my profile page and click on a story or two! |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I've got a good eye for grammar, punctuation, and spelling, but that's expected in a beta reader. I can definitely help with making your sentences and paragraphs less awkward, as well as excising irrelevant material for better story flow. I also have a gimlet eye for the dreaded "OOC syndrome" that seems to plague so many writers of fanfiction, and I'm fairly adept at keeping characters IN character, especially within the DBZ, Naruto, and One Piece fandoms. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm a fan of all the anime/manga listed on my beta-profile, but I'm not really a die hard canon devotee, so I won't always be able to help you out with tips about whether such and such fits in with the manga, or whether this and that happened two or three years before such and such saga, etc. Also, I can't guarantee that I'll get back to you right away, but I'll do my best. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'm a sucker for a good romantic story, you guys. No kidding. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
No PWP, rape, incest, slash, femslash, yaoi, shounen-ai, yuri or shoujo-ai.
Every time someone uses the phrase "chocolate brown orbs" to describe someone's eyes, I die a little inside. Seriously. |
