Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I have some experience at beta reading, both for fanfiction and schoolwork, and mostly pick up on the technicalities such as spelling, grammar and little plot infrequencies. Also, I'm English so I'm fine with Brit-picking. If you'd like my services, please be polite if I offer suggestions - I'm just trying to help! =D I should be fairly quick at getting back to you - a few days probably, depending on the length of the chapter you'd like me to beta. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Grammar, spelling, brit-picking, any little flaws or infrequencies in the plotline. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Poetry is a no-can-do for me, I'm afraid. Couldn't give you constructive criticism on that if I stared at it for hours. Also, I'm not very good at giving a general overview of a story. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Just see my selected genres and categories. =) Preferably nothing with huge mistakes in it, just those that need fine-tuning. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Poetry, as mentioned above. Also, if it's M-rated then tell me why and I'll consider - depends on what the content is that makes it M-rated. Also, no slash stories where that is the sole focus. Slash as a subplot is fine so long as it's not too explicit. No parodies please. And absolutely no Snape/Hermione or Draco/Hermione if it's a HP fanfic! |
