Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm not very mean and I avoid reprimanding anyone as much as possible. I'm not very particular with characterization (meaning your character may be OOC and that'll still be up to you, unless you want me to check). I won't try to suggest anything that would ruin any creative element of a story because I know how important these things are to authors.
I won't interfere in the plot but I tend to rephrase things.
I've done editing for years and I swear, sometimes I think I'm better at it than writing. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm very particular about spelling, sentence construction and diction. I see words that are out of place and see connotative meanings as very important. I also know proper punctuation-one of the most common and widespread errors in writing. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm no grammar expert, I know basic or more advanced rules but don't expect me to make it perfect (for example such things as dangling modifiers or whatever). |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'll take Naruto or Greek Mythology Stories. Also other animes like Rurouni Kenshin and a wide range. It depends on the anime though.
I'll only take parings (Naruto):
sasusaku, kakakure, naruhina, nejiten, shikaino..uhm saisaku and nejisaku too |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
No yaoi or yuri. No incest. No poems. No genres other than those I specified. |
