Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
HOTE: Sorry for this ridicuous spacing. The code is going crazy since years now, and looks like I can't do anything about it.
-
- I generally answer / edit text quickly. br /
br /
- I'll only beta one or two chapter at a time. br /
br /
- I love to debate and speculate about a fandom on various domains. I easily rant thousand words PMs that way. I'll prefer to let you know if a story doesn't interest me instead of postponing it again and again.br /
br /
-br /
br /
Just Respect God. By your words just as in your texts. That's not optional. Thank you.br /

My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
- English grammar and syntaxbr /
br /
- Action driven narration (I'm still noob there)br /
br /
- Kids characterizationbr /
br /
- For long stories (10'000 words or more), if I don't like the plot, I am prone to lost interestbr /
br /
- I can't portray very feminine characters |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
- That you already know what a self-insert or Mary Sue is. Because first thing I'll do is get ridden of these characters.br /
br /
- Romance conscientiously crafted and powered on complicity, pride or competitionbr /
br /
- Bromance, all kinds of orignal mostly platonic loves. But bromance does NOT mean neither slash, yaoi nor yuri; and that's precisely the most cool thing about it. br /
br /
- Pride & prejudice driven plotsbr /
br /
- Philosophic plotsbr /
br /
- Character portraying and development |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
- Clichéd characters can be remedied. A dull narration can be twisted. But if the plot itself is cliché, just drop the whole thing already and start anew!br /
br /
- If the story is long and describe the characters' everyday's life: no no.br /
br /
- I can't do lemons in general. Too shy - I dunno. But I do beta limes if they really add something important to the plot. br /
br /
- No undeads, vampires and other cuties of the kind.br /
br /
- No slash, or glorification of adultery.br /
br /
- No self-inserts, except in parodies, for auto-derision purposes.br /
br /
- Mangas: shojo and shonen bore me.br /
br /
- No insertion of asian words and costums in occidental settings.br /
br /
- Nothing reffering to christianism beliefs, least you're a christian yourself. br /
br /
-br /
br /
Je ne fais pas de prélecture pour :br /
br /
- Les romances surfaitesbr /
br /
- Pas de scénarios classique s'il n'innove absolument en rienbr /
br /
- Pas de shojo ni shonen. Trop clichés, trop ennuyeux.br /
br /
- Pas de mélange des culture japonaise et occidentale. |
