Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hello there. I'm lallyzippo, at your service. I accept works to proof-read, to give critic, and to give occational plot ideas. I will accept just about anything, but understand, that I'm honest when I correct, critique, and spew out thoughts in general. I'm polite, but don't expect me to sugar-coat anything.
Also, don't give me writing where I have to figure out what you wrote. No l33t sp34k, no horribly obvious spelling errors. Don't give me that crap. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I love humor. My style is kind of random humor; however, I realize there's more than one type of humor, and I can beta to any type.
I've got a good eye from grammar and punctuation.
I also give good critique for character developement and word choice. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I tend to skip over description paragraphs. Those are boring to me, honestly. I can tell you how ungodly boring it was, but not much else.
I also have a hard time reading romance/drama/angst stories. There's exceptions, but many are too morbid and cheesy for me. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Like I said before, humor is my thing. I can also read fluff, shounen and shoujo ai. You can send me a yaoi or yuri story, but I may send it back, and say something like, "My EYES! My innoncence!"
I prefer anime/manga stories. I can also read video game stories, and the occasional cartoon story. Also, Hunchback of Notre Dame humor stories are okay.
I kind of like age gaps in character pairings. Not PEDO pairings, but you get the idea...
Send me SheeLloyd, ShadAmy, PreLloyd, SilverAmy, PaiLettuce, NejiHinata, NaruIno, SakuIno, PhoenixFranziska, MayaEdgeworth, MattMello, CharmyCream, ANY BEYBLADE PAIRING.
I'll read Disney fics.
If you know any of those series, you will know the pairings. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
DO NOT SEND ME SUES. They will be eaten and regurgitated on the spot. I don't do cheesy romance. Cute character fluff is okay. NO NARUTO INCEST. Except I will read NejiHinata. That's it.
NO EMO CRAP. I don't need to hear about emo OC bleeding emo poetry while it rides around in it's angstmobile.
Do not send me fics that glorify following characters:
Megumi (Zatch Bell)
Sakura (Naruto)
Zoe (Digimon)
Yoshino (Digimon)
Big the Cat (Sonic)
Kratos (Tales of Symphonia)
MINT (Tales of Phantasia)
Takeda or Takada ? (Death Note)
Wuya (Xiaolin Showdown)
Solomon (Blood +)
Jasmine (Aladdin)
Ariel (Little Mermaid)
Pocohontas (Self Explanitory)
I don't typically like cannon pairings. Meaning no Shikamaru pairings for me. He's...not paired right with anyone.
All I can think of momentarily. |
