Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am open to reading almost anything and love reviewing since it means I get to read a story ahead of everyone else. I am prompt with my replies, so I should be able to review a chapter per week. I can be brutally honest in my reviews, but in a nice way. I can review for story flow and continuity (if it's a fandom I'm familiar with), as well as spelling/grammar. Fandoms I read frequently include Firefly, Terminator: SCC, and Jane Austen. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I have a decent grasp of spelling and grammar and can pick up easily on flow errors. If it's a fandom I'm familiar with, I should be able to correct continuity and characterization |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not very good with historical references. I would prefer if the writer also has a decent grasp of formatting, because I don't want to read just a single block of text. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Action, Romance, Suspense, and fluff fics. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I won't beta anything with heavy smut or slash pairings. Mary-Sues are also a no-no. If I hear that you have an "OC", I will be hesitant, but will give you the benefit of the doubt. |
