Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I quite like to edit stories, and I'm pretty reliable at getting things to people quickly. I can certainly spot grammatical and spelling errors; I am a good English student. Keep in mind that I can be harsh sometimes!! Be able to expect a lot of criticism, although I would hope that you would expect that anyway! ;) I don't know how quickly I can get things back to you. It depends. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good with spelling and grammar, definitely characterization for fandoms I know of, and helping you add more detail, but especially with the detail. If you feel that your chapters are too short, then I can help you figure out where to talk more about what the characters are feeling. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am not good at stretching out action/fight scenes, nor can I be able to tell you if you're missing some factual details...most of the time. I am not very good when it comes to making sure the facts in a story are correct. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I do enjoy humorous stories a lot; however, I can do other genres as well. I do also prefer oneshots to chaptered stories. I can handle slash. I'm also very good with tragedy. There are pairings I prefer over others: Troy/Sharpay, Ryan/Gabriella, Lilly/Oliver, Troy/Taylor, Troy/Kelsi, Jake/Miley, and Sam/Freddie. Yeah, I can do anything and everything Disney. :D I can't beta for many books, however, but I can do Outsiders and Bridge to Terabithia, if you want. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I don't like to beta super-long stories, like five-thousand words per chapter. 3500-word chapters max. NO INCEST!! Also, there are some pairings that I would shudder to write for: Troy/Gabriella, Miley/Oliver, and Ryan/Taylor. Sorry! I can handle most other pairings in the fandoms I beta for, though. Oh, I forgot to mention: I don't like Harry potter, either! So, no HP stories. Or Clique...or Gossip Girl. |
