Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hi, I'm Mignun. I've been writing since I have been 13 years old, and I joined the site in 2005. I am currently in college, so my writing has flourished. My goal in life is to help people, hence why I want to become a Beta reader. I like to see others prosper to their full potential, as many people has helped me during my life.br /br /br /br /

You can say that I love to read, and I'm always seen carrying around a book. I write sporadically, but I'm mostly great at one-shots. My imagination runs while, and I believe that will help you with your work. If you can't say something, I'll find another way to say it. =) |

I used to be weak at this, but I have learned that if you are speaking in the past tense, everything must be consistent. Present tense is the same way. It's not even funny when someone is speaking the present, then resorts to the past. It's a common imperfection, but it is easy to work with.br /br /br /br /

I know when a character turns into a Mary Sue/Marty Sue. If your character exemplifies in the characteristics, I won't be afraid to tell you. It is possible to get rid of these feats, and I know the perfect Mary Sue Litmus test to give to you. I've written enough during my life, that I know what and what not to do.br /br /br /br /

Nothing annoys me more than someone who doesn't use commas or periods. It makes the work seem choppy, especially when I'm enjoying the story. The same with grammar. br /br /br /br /

Probably the worst with writers. There is a difference between "your" and "you're". It's not a hard thing to accomplish in writing. Many of times I have seen the following, and it makes me wince:br /br /br /br /

. Chocked instead of choked (my number one word I hate to see. I sometimes exit out of the story if I see it. Nit-picky, yes, but it's not hard!)br /br /br /br /

For some reason, I can't do the whole "you're going down the hallway" or something similar to that. I don't want it to be me going through all of this. I want to see the characters go through whatever you're writing. To me it's just annoying and quite boring.br /br /br /br /

On one instance, I have dealt with a very rude writer. Many times I found something wrong, and he would constantly tell me that I'm the one who was wrong and not understanding the story. Nonetheless, the story did not do well with the readers. He blamed me for all of his mistakes, and I'm sorry, but I don't roll with that.br /br /br /br /

If you aren't willing to correct your mistakes, I will stop from helping you. Also, if you don't work with me for whatever reason, or if I take too long, then I can't deal with it. We need to work as a team. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Not really, I can deal with anything. There's only one thing I don't deal with, and it should be dealt with in the "Not My Cup of Tea" section. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for

Since I'm not experienced myself, I can't help you there. Kissing scenes sure, but full on sex, no. I'll have to skip over that part if you include it in your story. Lol. =P |
