Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
My dad minored in English, so he passed his grammar skills on to me. I used to proof-read my friends' school papers. I saw this beta thing, and thought I would give it a shot. I hope I can fix stories so that they're easier to read by everyone here on FF. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Like I said, my dad taught me a lot on the basic concept of DOL. Whenever I write a story, I use 1.5 spacing, and make sure I have small paragraphes, as no one like solid-blocked chapters. It's a great thing if you've got an awesome writing style, but it also has to be in an easy-to-read format, and I can definitely do that. I also realize that certain characters talk in a certain way, and don't have any problems with that. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Though I've definitely getting better at it, I sometimes can't tell whether I should use a comma or a semi-colon. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'm still a Secret Saturday fangirl, no matter what those jerks at Cartoon Network do. I also watch Buffy, and know how to keep people in character. Smallville and Buffy can make extremely good x-overs (hint, hint). I'm still waiting for new Generator Rex episodes as well. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I don't know what the heck SG-1 is, other than they have a lot of x-overs on Twisting the Hellmouth. I don't know any games on here either. |
