Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
When I beta-read, I tend to look more towards content then towards the grammar and spelling - though if I see basic errors in either of those areas, I will definitely bring them to your attention. I expect that the person who writes a story in a certain section knows at least something of the source material - the canon - of that fandom, even if you're writing a big AU that barely touches canon at all. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm best at reviewing content, style, and your usage (or lack thereof) of the canon. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm a bit weaker in the areas of spelling and grammar, so if you're looking specifically for a grammar nazi or the like, then I'm probably not the beta-reader you're looking for. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I would rather prefer stories that deal with action, or with sci-fi, fantasy, or supernatural things...that sort of thing. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'm not very good with horror and I CANNOT deal with romance. Also, I won't be of any help in cases where the story is a mess of l33t and chatspeak and other things like that - all I would be able to tell you is to re-write the entire story with normal word usage, and THEN I can help you further. |
