Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Not that this means much, but I've been writing for over 15 years, and I tend to think I know what I'm doing better than most people. Read something I've written to see if you agree! |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am a grammar, spelling, and structure nazi. I will tear apart your paragraphs one at a time and have you put them back together so they actually flow properly. Flow is something that almost no one understands, and I can teach it to you. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I read slowly. Please don't give me more than 10,000 words at a time. If it's more than twenty pages or so, I will probably get distracted and wander off before I'm finished reading it. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'm really only interested in specific types of Final Fantasy VIII fanfiction right now. I will not beta Squall x Rinoa stories; I write them. I am too opinionated about the characters and their relationship to each other to be an objective beta reader for a story about them. I really want to read stories about the characters people don't talk about as much: Irvine, Zell, Selphie, any of the NPCs. It's okay if Squall and/or Rinoa are IN the story, I just won't beta a story ABOUT them. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
See above, but also, I will not read fics with:
1. Horrible spelling/grammar
2. n375p34k of ANY KIND! If I see "Zell LOLed" in your fanfic, I will dump gasoline over it and set it on fire with the power of MY RAGE ALONE.
3. Scat.
4. Ridiculous soap-opera love triangles that NEVER END. |
