Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am a thorough reader. I will read a chapter several times, and each time I will focus on a different aspect of writing. The first time I speed read, to make sure that it's easy to understand. The second time, I check for spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. The third time, I look for plot holes, OOC characters, Mary Sues, and canonical issues. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Spelling, grammar, and character accuracy. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am no help when it comes to describing fights and battles. While I am accurate, I can be slow in my beta reading. I can also be harsh. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Tragedy, close bonding, angst, violence, and deathfics. Brotherly love is my favorite theme. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Absolutely no incest. Slash only if non consensual. I do not like stories that are mainly romance. I'm not saying I don't like a little romance, I just don't like alot of it. No Mary Sues, not even as a parody. |
