Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Never been a beta before. Figured if anyone is interested in trying out a newbie who's got way too much time on their hands to bounce story ideas off of and correct your spelling/grammar give me a shout. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I hate bad grammar. It gives me the willies. Grammar is my main focus for stories. Bad spelling can be fixed with spell check, grammar check is crap and an actual person is way better than a machine. I may not be able to tell you WHY a sentence is wrong, but I can sure as hell tell you when it's wrong and give you several suggestions on how to fix it.br /br /

My response time is quick. Your chapter/idea will be reviewed quickly and a response will be returned within 2 to 3 days of when you send it to me. If it will take longer I'll let you know why, and when to expect it. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm really sarcastic. If your story is poorly written and you won't accept help/constructive criticism I will respond with caustic remarks and nasty commentary. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I will beta just about anything. If you want me to comment of a story I have no background information on I'll look it up, but I know the most about Naruto, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Bleach. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'm not against being gay, I just don't want to hear about it. If your story has a homosexual theme I would prefer you look elsewhere for a beta.
If I am not familiar with the storyline of whatever book/manga/tv show you are writing fanfiction for I will correct grammar and spelling but don't expect me to read the book/manga or watch the tv show so we can have discussions about the plot that won't show up on Wikipedia. |
