Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Alright. I am deciding to consider myself a beta-reader, I love reading fanfiction just as I love writing it. I've gained a lot of experience in writing in general, as I hope to publish my novel one day. I am, however, picky on the things I Beta. I won't beta something if I don't know the subject of the fic. I'll beta most things, though, if I get them. Just send me a PM. If you do want me to Beta, however, I'd like you to have either MSN or AIM or at least an email so we can talk in chat. Let me know!! |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am strong mainly in grammar, and spelling. I try to keep characters "in-character" so to speak, you wouldn't hear Harry saying things like "I love Voldemort!" would you? Of course, I know how hard it is to keep someone's character in mind while writing a fanfiction when chances are, you're probably focusing on either your own character or a plot or whatever. I try my best to keep that as high a level as I can possibly muster. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weaknesses? I am not that good when it comes to thinking up synonyms in a fanfiction, but that is why I keep my little electronic thesaurus near me at all times. Mainly spelling certain words and their definitions. Sometimes, as well, it takes me a couple tries to get a good description written or edited, but I make out...so to speak. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Right now, Red vs Blue all the way. I love some Red vs Blue fanfiction that I've read. I also am a complete Star Wars nerd, but I pretty much despise any sort of New Republic fanfictions, Knights of the Old Republic era all the way!!
As well, I will do the occasional Kingdom Hearts or Harry Potter fanfiction, but it has to be something that could strike my interest. :p TV Shows like Glee, Charmed, Eli Stone, ect, I'm all for Beta-ing. Just shoot me a PM and ask! |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'm normally not a big fan of slash when it comes to Harry Potter. I've just never really liked the couples, despite the fact that I love Red vs Blue slash to no end. As well, a lot of TV shows like Charmed, or Buffy fanfictions have never really pleased me when I read them, but then...who knows? You just might change my mind. ;3 |
