Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hey! Well, I'm obviously a beta-reader, since you're here reading my profile. I prefer that you send me your story in Microsoft Word Doc or DocX format, or through the Document Exchange system on this site. However, any format is acceptable if you don't have Word or prefer another format like RTF, TXT, etc. If I don't have the right program to open it, I'll find one.
Anyway, if you don't like a change that I suggest, then don't change it. I don't mind if you leave it the way it is. I'm pretty easy-going about stuff like that. If you have a question about one of my changes/corrections, don't hesitate to ask. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm quite good at spotting those little spelling and grammar errors, as well as plot holes, discontinuities, Canon-compliance, and weak characterization. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Some grammar mistakes I might not spot, especially sentence fragments, unless you use them too often. Deliberately fragmented sentences can sometimes add to the story, so I occasionally gloss over them. I might not catch other small grammar nuances either. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I prefer stories with action and fight scenes the most, but I also like romance or comedy or any combination of the three. I like angst stories to a lesser extent, though I much prefer one of the aforementioned genres. For stories with romance, I prefer Canon pairings, or at least reasonable ones. Crack pairings don't do it for me. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Crack pairings, mostly, or crackfics in general, as well as EXTREMELY sappy romances. I'd prefer not to read any stories that are extremely dark and/or angst-ridden either. And I will not even GLANCE at any Yaoi fics. Period. Some people enjoy it. Not me. |
