Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I beta-read Resident Evil stories. I look at basic grammar/spelling, but mainly focus on the flow of the story and the characters. The worst thing is a well written fic with characters that don't behave at all like themselves. Of course, you're going to get -my- view on them, so don't forget that everything I suggest is just that, an idea. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Storyline, plot, characterization. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I don't correct punctuation. That's one thing about grammar I never understood in any language, so I keep away from it. Outside the internet I also have a life, so I ask for a bit of patience when betareading. I might not always be able to read the story in two hours. I don't make promises, but usually you will have your corrected chapter back in 1-3 days. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Everything apart from what is listed below. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
OC Stories - if you want me to beta-read this, then you should be willing to work on your original character. I've seen too many perfect Mary Sues popping out of nowhere and falling in love with the hero. If they do that, then by God, they should have a reason, a believable background and keep to human limits. Nobody is perfect, not even Mary Sues.
Yaoi/Yuri - This depends. Send me your story and I'll decide if I will beta-read it or not. |
