Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Normally, I check the grammar, spelling and punctuation first. Then, I read the story, usually twice or thrice, then point out anything that may need correcting, or give suggestions to help improve. I usually am a very patient person, and will be willing to have a sentence-by-sentence critique if it is required.
I want to betaread because I want to help people get better at writing. I don't ever give out any personal information about the person I'm betareading, so you have my word, you can trust me. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Philosophy, analogies, viewing things from different perspectives, song fics, one-shots, ones requiring a bit of research, and maybe romance. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Long, 4 chapters or more, stories. I neglect to check for inconsistencies at times. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Usually I would read ones with pairings over one that has none. And more often, I read fanfiction that contains non-canon pairings. I'm not picky though. If you want anything betaread, just PM me and I'll do it, no problem. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I don't read and won't beta-read Mary-Sues, fics bashing other religions, and ones with disturbing, sick details of murder, rape, or any of the sort. |
