Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I beta read for details and stuff like grammar. Simply put, I'll find and point out your mistakes in terms of grammar, sentence structure, etc... and will also look for plot holes and information that just doesn't make sense to me as a reader. I WILL NOT TRY AND WRITE YOUR STORY FOR YOU! That's your job, mine is to help you make your writing better. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
- I'm good at spotting obvious errors in writing mechanics.
- I have a keen eye for detail and can catch many smaller details in a story.
- I have a large knowledge of archetypes and what not that will allow me to understand the story better. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
- I will sometimes unconsciously skip over smaller errors that I myself usually make.
- I have difficulty sometimes with identifying things like run-on sentences. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I love a good epic length story, provided it's well written. I'm also among the dying breed of hopeless romantics, so if you have a story that will make me feel a little fuzzy inside, by all means, have me beta it. Another thing is that I enjoy stories that are not just written well, but are written intelligently, for example, I'd love to read a story that deals with some aspect of the medical profession provided that real, correct details of the profession are present. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'm not much for stories that don't have much of a plot and that don't really have a point. Also, no matter how accepting I am of homosexual males (One of my best friends is one) I simply can't stomach yaoi in any form. Sorry guys. |
