Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'll beta read as many stories as I can until it's literally impossible for me to keep up. xD I love editing because I can improve a story that I'm reading at the same time as I'm enjoying it. ^^ I check and fix mostly grammar, but I'll also put some notes in if I think a character is OOC. (My notes are put in with white font and a blue highlight so they really pop out. I'll let you know when I send the DocX if I put a message in.)
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Well, I think I'm probably too good with homonyms/homophones (same thing) than is good for me. xD Then vs. than, too vs. to vs. two, etc. All that stuff. And, I can also tell when someone just took out a thesaurus and used a word that doesn't fit in with the context. ;D I'm also pretty good at getting the fics back to people in a timely manner; a week should be the longest it should ever take, I think.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Uhhhh... I can sometimes make mistakes while correcting things, and then I don't go through it again, so I miss the new mistake I created. xP A mistake example: 'It was like a the lid of a barrel.' I couldn't make up my mind if I wanted it to be 'a' or 'the', so I forgot to take away one or the other. I read the stories out loud once they're sent (because then I can read it on my DSi, and then I'll let you know if there's anything wrong with it afterwards. Or, if I REALLY think there's stuff I messed up on, I'll warn you not to submit it quite yet, though I'll submit it most likely the next day or so.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I like humor, action, adventure; that kind of stuff. Everything I have listed that I'll beta is series I've read/watched before, but if someone asks me if I'll beta for another series I haven't, I gladly will, as long as you give me a summary or something first. :P Of course, in that case I won't be able to help with OOC-ness, but I can still pretty up the grammar. x) I'll be fine with romance, too, as long as it's not a cheesy never-gonna-happen pairing. ...Okay. Maybe I will even then, but humor/action/adventure is still at the top of my favorites list. :P
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I'm not fond of unneeded cussing, but I'm really just saying that *I* don't cuss; your fic can cussy-cuss-cuss away and I'll still beta it. Sure thing. No lemons or anything of the sort, either. :\ Please.
