Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I have been writing fanfiction for several years. I also write poetry, specifically haiku, and have recently had my first collection published.
As a beta-reader, I tend to read for grammar, spelling, etc. And while I can offer ideas, based on the plot line of the story and what the writer has written thus far, I will only do so at the writer's request. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Grammar, especially verb tense agreement; spelling; and constructive criticism when it comes to plot line, story continuity, etc. I not only beta on the screen but also print the chapter out and edit/proof through this method as well. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I tend to be very opinionated. I am also quite honest, sometimes brutally so. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Drama; Angst; Romance; Tragedy; Yaoi. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Humor; Crossovers; Yuri; Incest |
