Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I've been a member of FFnet since, well, a long time ago. I can't say I've developed into an amazing writer in that period of time, but I do believe I've improved enough to be able to help others out with their writing. In the few times I've beta-ed in the past I find that I usually edit a copy of the text directly and then send it back with the original unedited chapter for comparison. Details like using colors or bold to indicate where I've made changes is up to the writer, really, so it would be great if you could tell me your own preferences. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm a bit of a spelling and grammar Nazi so if you're having trouble with those, I believe I'll be able to solve your problems quite nicely. I also like a story to flow, so I think I can help with that too. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have a tendency to be slightly careless and may miss things that I should have edited, so don't be alarmed if I send back more than one copy of the beta-ed text, with apologies. My characterization also isn't perfect, but that's something I'm working on. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I prefer beta-ing stories in fandoms that I know at least a little about. So I'm happy to beta any fic in my preference list, and if you send me anything else I'll still beta it, but I won't know the characters and settings as well. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'd prefer if there's no smut, although a little is fine. I'm also not a big fan of femslash so I most likely won't be accepting those. |
