Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
(Um, I'm not sure exactly what to put here...)
I'm always willing to help betaread a story and help out anyone who asks nicely. However, one of my rules is that if you ask me to be your beta-reader, you have to be completely honest with me and tell me if you have a second beta-reader. I use colour tracking to beta and like to explain why I change things, so that you'll understand and eventually get to the point where you don't need a beta anymore.
I'll beta any pairing, especially yaoi/slash. And I don't mind oneshots or long chapter stories. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Characterisation, spelling and building atmospheres/tension.
And I nitpick. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I sometimes get carried away and might change too much. If it makes you uncomfortable, just smack me and I'll cut it out. Dialogue is one of my weaker aspects. I'm still experimenting with lemons myself, so you might not want to come to me for advice on that.
I also suck at fluff. If you give me fluff, I will probably end up destroying it. I cannot do cute romances, as much as I love reading them. :( |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'm really familiar with Naruto- I've been watching it for maybe six odd years and writing fanfiction for it for four. I've been around the circuit so I'm pretty confident in my characterisation of the characters and Naruto-lore.
Pairings:
- itasaku
- narusaku
- sasusaku
- narusasu
- deisaku
- those are my mains, but I should be comfortable with any pairing you throw at me.
I also really like Katekyo Hitman Reborn! I'm not as familiar with it as I am with Naruto, but I'm still fairly confident with my knowledge of it.
Pairings:
- 8059
- RL
I love Kingdom Hearts to death.
Pairings:
- akuroku (OTP!)
And I love yaoi. To the max. |
