Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am a very simple person when it comes to stories. I will first look for obvious grammar or spelling problems and then look at how the chapter/ story flows as a whole. I take the time to carefully analyze what would improve it. I focus a lot on emotions and descriptions. Very blunt about what I think needs to be done, but willing to find a compromise.
I prefer to look over the story and put any changes I would make in bold. If it is a spelling thing I will fix it with no flag that anything was wrong. You are then free to keep or loose what you want. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am very gifted at finding emotions that can be brought out and good at most cannon. I will read your story and do what I can to make it as close to professional as possible. English is my prefered major so I have some decent creative writing skills. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Time is the one problem with me. I have little of it, but am willing to do what I can. If you want your stories to have a quick turn over I'm not the person, but if you have patience I'm a great beta. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I like romance stories or stories with a strong plot line. I have written bits of fluff but find them frustrating to beta. You will do best to check and see if I know the cannon of the show before you ask me to beta. I am best at the ones that I have some idea of cannon for. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I really prefer not to beta script style stories or slash, but I will do what I need to to help you. If you want me to beta, I am picky about the fandom. If I do not have idea of the cannon I won't be comfortable doing it. This is to your advantage that I say this. |
