Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I've got a sporatic schedual and I'm an on-again off-again beta reader.
I'll be your beta reader for one story at a time, and I reserve the right to take some vacation time if it's a chapter-heavy fiction.
When I beta for you, you can expect in-depth advice.
I give serious and constructive criticism, but since I like to get compliments myself, I also give them quite a bit. So if I beta read something for you, you'll be getting solid, honest, contructive feedback with plenty of praise for the parts I enjoyed. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Characterization, plot, dialouge, action, description, readability. Emotional impact.
I especially love plot and I'll be happy to go through an outline or plan with you. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'll need to know your goals when writing to be useful; I can make a lot of comments but it'll be better if I know what direction you're going. Also I'm not so great with pure humor. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I love canon! I also love hurt/comfort fics, especially with physical harm. Romance is great, too, and horror and spiritual. I like reading long, complex multi-chapter fics as well as drabbles and everything in between. The more emotional and meaningful the better. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'll read anything in my categories and genres! The only things I don't like are meaningless fluff and silly or stupid humor pieces. I don't have interest in writing them and I don't enjoy all but the very best. I probably won't be any good doing a beta for a simple oneshot humor bit. |
