Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
As a beta reader, I will be looking at the general spelling and grammar of the story at first. As a secondary goal, I will offer suggestions and guidance with regards to the content and flow of the story. I will reject stories that have a blatant disregard for conventional grammar and spelling as it shows great disrespect for the craft of writing. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
One of my strengths is in grammar and spelling as I am a school teacher. I also get bored easily so I'll let you know if your story drags its feet. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weakness is that I can become easily distracted. If your story is slow going, I may miss more technical errors as I trudge through. However, I'll let you know what in your story is causing me to yawn or stare at my tv. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I would prefer to read stories in the categories of Star Wars, Harry Potter, Willy Wonka, and Pirates of the Caribbean. However, I will generally accept anything in the science fiction or fantasy genre. Vampires are always a winner; too bad Anne Rice has a vendetta against fanfiction writers. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'm not very comfortable reading slash or lemon stories. I have nothing against homosexuality, but I just can't seem to get into these types of stories. Please, no "High School Musical," "Zoey 101," "Hannah Montana," or any other "tween" oriented stories. That's pretty much anything based on Disney Channel or Nickelodeon in present programming. I'm a die hard for their nineties programs and am disgusted with the shows they are currently trying to pass off as entertainment. |
