Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Who I am as a beta-reader? I don't really know how to answer that...o_o
When I'm beta-ing, I look for obvious things first, like spelling mistakes/typos, grammar issues, random tense changes, etc. Then I look for things like overuse of a word / redundancy, character problems, if something doesn't really WORK in the fic. And then I guess, if I was part of the fandom, I'd look for ways to make the characters more IC.
Expectations?
1) Be nice to me. :D And patient. I'll do my best to beta ASAP but I do have a life.
2) Be...literate. If you give me something filled with chatspeak and little/no plot I can't do much with it... |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good at writing angst (without it being slit your wrists angst) and 'romance'. ...Yeah. XD |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm very bad at writing...sex. XD But shh, that isn't really allowed here anyways ;D I've haven't tried a lot of different genres, so I can't say if I'll be bad or good at them. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Well preferably I'd like to beta genres that I'm good at, i.e. angst/romance but I won't turn you down if you're writing a different genre. I'd also like to beta fics from fandoms that I'm familiar with- I have a list on my profile. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Honestly, not really. I'd be afraid of really graphic sex, but that's not really a problem here on ff.net. ...Not human pairings creep me out (i.e. animal/animal, animal/human). But other than that, I think I'm pretty game. |
