Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
My goal is to edit, revise, and improve an individual's story without changing the meaning, the story's plot, or the author's purpose. I would not say that I have a style per say, but I am developing one. I am person who is passionate about the English language and speaks it fluently. I aspire to become fluent in many other languages as well. I will beta read for any type of story and I don't mind mature stories or slash pairings. I am willing to help those that do not speak English as a first language also. I expect that those that I help have at least a general grasp of grammar, punctuation, and spelling. I do not expect people who have perfect writing already, but I would not mind just reading over and revising anyone's story. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am very good at grammatical errors, punctuation, spelling errors, content, and flow in terms of a story. I have a great vocabulary for my age and I am very good at replacing words in text to make them sound more intelligent or coherent. I even text in grammatically correct language; I cannot help myself I have taken AP English classes and even debate becoming a English major. I am bilingual and one cannot begin to comprehend another language until he or she has mastered his or her own. I am also contemplating betareading in another language as well. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Occasionally I may make a punctuation error, the comma before the and when not in a sequence mistake, but I am definitely breaking this habit. I always proofread professional papers, but sometimes on fanfiction I am less inclined to proofread my own stories. As a betareader, however, I promise to always check the spelling, content, and punctuation of the story that I read. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
There are not stories that I would prefer to read, but if I had to say I would go with the ones that are in my area of interest, such as Teen Titans, Avatar the Last Airbender, Naruto, Yugioh, Totally Spies, Static Shock, Mermaid Melody, Winx Club, Code Lyoko, Degrassi, South of Nowhere, Make or Break It, Charmed, The Best Years, and most of the shows, movies or books that I like to watch and read or have watched or read in the past. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
There are not many stories that I would not be willing to betaread, unless they are mind-numbingly boring or so terribly written that they are at the point of no salvation. I would betaread for yaoi, yuri, canon, or out of character fictions. |
