Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I enjoy reading, but reading bad grammar and stories which seem to be going in no real direction tend to destroy my enjoyment. While reading, I am constantly thinking about what I am reading and how it could be improved, or if it is fine the way it is, simply enjoy it. As a beta reader, I will look for spelling errors, syntax and the fluidity of the piece in question. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Having a fairly extensive vocabulary and having read many types of writing, I feel that I can spot flaws and awkwardness in writing bwtter than many of my peers. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
If I am reading a piece that becomes tedious, I tend to skip forward, looking for an end to the monotony. The more I enjoy the sotry, the closer I read it. However, if I don't know the references (or the stroy the piece is based on), I will not be albe to spot OOCness and other character based inconsistancies, except within the piece itself. Also, I can be pretty anal about grammar. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'l probably add some later, once I figure out what I like or don't like, but right now, I'm pretty much open to anything. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Songfics...that's pretty much it that I can think of. I have read some I've enjoyed, but most I find annoying.
And yaoi/yuri, please don't send me any of that. |
