Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hi. I've been a part of Fanfiction since 2005, though I took a hiatus from writing for a year and a half, and I've written thirty-two stories for Kingdom Hearts, mostly romance and comedy with some drama added into the mix. I work on grammar and spelling more than anything, and I'll help you keep a consistent voice and style throughout your story. I don't just beta; I try and help authors grow and learn from their mistakes. I explain all changes that I make, and I'm open to discussion if you disagree with that I change.
I only expect some literacy and a decent plot. Please don't send me anything full of chatspeak, Mary Sues, or how much you love Edward and want him to be with you and not Bella. I will not accept it. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I focus on grammar and style, and on keeping a consistent voice throughout the story. I also look at plot and how cliches can be avoided or made into something new and better. I'm very familiar with nearly all Kingdom Hearts characters, so characterization is another point at which I can greatly help. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have a tendency to be too nice, especially with plots and characterizations. I allow a little too much leeway in those regards, though I am working at being more critical. I do not push at plot changes that often, especially if you can convince me that what you're writing will work out. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I will beta nearly any type of story. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I will not beta rape fics or self-insertion/Mary Sue fics. |
