Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hello all. I'm Lady Mage, and have been present in the fanfiction world for about three years now. I have over 20 stories going here on the site and more in the works. Shortly after joining the site, I began beta reading, something which I love, and during this time, I've betaed for many people.
Now for my style. Generally would-be authors send me their story as a word document and I peruse it, looking for grammar, spelling, sentence structure, plot, and general charachterization issues. Then, I go back into the document and edit with a different color (so the would-be author knows what I've changed) Sometimes I write a long note at the bottom or in the returning email about the general things. The would-be author will then go through and look at what I've said and make the changes he or she desires.
However, if the would-be author preferrs to work in a different manner, I am flexible. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am very good at grammar, sentence structure, spelling, and plot issues. I'm also good at telling when a charachter is 'in charachter' and when the charachter is not. I can help with basically anything you want within my chosen categories. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I may be a little harsh occasionally when the writing style is out of wack, but people generally appreciate that... |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
No, I'll pretty much take anything within my chosen categories. See note below for exceptions. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I do not usually accept gay or lesbian fics. Sorry guys! |
