Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
'Lo, I'm Kinoko. It may come as a surprise to you, but I'm actually alive. Just saying.
I'll beta just about anything that someone's put effort into. Well, anything that I know something about the series, at any rate. I particularly... _dislike_ it when people get mad at me for something I have suggested after reading through their fic. I am here to offer constructive criticism, not to be whined at.
If you understand that, I think we'll get along just fine. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
One word: grammar. If you have problems with grammar, I can catch it. If there are typos, I can fix those for you easily. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Anything extremely, extremely long tends to make me lose my interest. And losing interest generally means a downhill slide in beta quality. If you must insist, allow me to do things in increments, please and thanks.
I also tend to take a while with beta-ing, so feel free to send me reminders to hurry it up, or even to find a new beta. Thanks. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Series I am familiar with. Rather than list them all however, I'll just take requests and tell you which ones I'm not familiar with. It's not necessary to know the series to edit grammar, but it is necessary to help with characterization, plot devices, etc. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Yaoi, yuri, shojo-ai, m-preg, and PWP. Other than that, everything's fine. |
