Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I read lots. And lots. And lots, lol. I love reading fiction written by other weirdos like myself. I'm obsessed with grammar, spelling and punctuation and can often find it in others' work faster than I can my own. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm honest, love to read and never have to use spellcheck. Well, almost never, anyways, lol. I have no kids and spend my free time reading and rereading my huge personal library of books. Hell, I keep finding shit I forgot I had.. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but am brutally honest all at once, so it's like a conundrum in my brain. I go through periods of antisocialness which is nobody's fault and nothing personal against anyone. I'm a redneck who butchers the English language every day in my speech yet am a stickler for correct punctuation and grammar, even in message boards and chatrooms. Go figure. I'm a hard one to figure out. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
House of 1000 Corpses/The Devil's rejects fan fic, Lord of the Rings fan fic, werewolves, vampires, monsters, any sort of original or fan fic of horror, zombies, mutants, science fiction, fantasy, adventure, or a mixture of any of those. I love Marion Zimmer Bradley, Alice Borchardt, JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Most anime. Sorry guys, but there's just too much for my 31 year old mind to make sense of. I used to love old school anime like 3 x 3 Eyes, Project A-ko, Tenchi, Vampire Hunter D, Akira and Dominion Tank Police. But I lost interest after 1998 or so, the whole world got frickin saturated with that shit lol. Not into Buffy the Vampire Slayer, sitcoms, or giggly Johnny Depp fantasies. Not that I don't have fantasies of him, mind you, but it gets old quick. |
