Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am a thorough beta, one who takes into account whether the plot is plausible, general grammar, and phrasing. I'm not really sure what all to include in here, but feel free to get in contact with me if you ever find yourself in need of my services. I will be more than happy to help aspiring writers! I already work on a steady basis with Jazi, a wonderful and talented writer. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
For me, I am quite talented with basic phrasing and grammar rules. Confused by commas? I'm not; I had it beaten into my by old beta. My description is very good and my vocabulary is good. I also like to include side notes about things I find interesting or funny in which I hope to provide encouragement. If it annoys you, just tell me. ^-^ |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not great with plot. I mean, I will be able to point out gaping holes and such, but I'm not especially nit picky. A cliché story about characters going to the beach? I'll be able to tell you if it's well-written, but I probably couldn't give you too many ideas. The only other problem being my schedule-- it is a little crazy. I will get back to you as soon as is possible, but it may take a couple days. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
If I know the series, I'll beta it. I can deal with violence, cursing, and romance. I prefer het and yaoi, yuri is fine, too, but I don't read it that much, so I can't tell you much about the relationships. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Pure smut is great, but I don't feel exceedingly comfortable editing it. It's fine if there is sex (or what have you) in a story, but I'd rather not edit a one-shot pure lemon. I'm sorry iuf this is a problem for you, but I just don't feel exceedingly comfortable with it. |
