Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm a big meanie, but that's just how things are. You'll catch me telling people to "Deal with it" all the time. My time is fairly limited thanks to my new job, but I don't actually sleep so...
Essentially, my style is I tell you what you did wrong and what I don't like. After which you either justify why you did it, or you fix it. Simple really. I'm almost always drunk and therefore, very honest. See paragraph above for details as to where that may lead us. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm honest and provide in depth reports concerning why I made what suggestions/demands. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am frequently intoxicated. For those of you confused by this statement, allow me to clarify. I am drunk right now. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I will Beta just about anything, even OC fics. I just become more harsh when things contain stuff I don't like. Trust me, I can get incredibly judgmental.
Essentially, if I don't feel something you've supplied is something I can edit, I'll return it to you with an explanation. Simple, okay? |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Songfics. I don't like them and I refuse to have anything to do with them. Sorry, but all your really doing is putting characters actions and words to a song you didn't write. I don't really consider these to contain any personal creativity... Sorry. Well, okay, not really.
Also, I don't usually dig crossovers. I just don't.
However, if you feel your crossover or songfic is really great, I will take a look. Just expect me to be far more critical in these cases. |
