Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm a person who is openminded, and likes reading different areas, and styles. My style of betareading is simple. I will put your story into a word doc, and read it. As I read it, I will make spelling/grammar changes and in red. Any comments I have will be left at the end of the paragraphs, also in red.I will leave every comment that comes to mind, both praising and critical. At the end, I'll include an overall summary.
I'm lighthearted, so I promise, there won't be any horrible lectures. I'm not going to take your story apart with a scalpel. I'm going to comb through the impurities. The end prodcut is still going to be your work, not mine. With the exception of spelling and grammar, all other changes will be given as suggestions. Anything I change will be marked.
The only expectations I have are that you respoect my wishes and not send me stories with excessive profanity. I tolerate a couple, but they should be used for emphasis only. If I find your story offensive in this way, I reserve the right to return it incomplete. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm honest while still being nice, I can look at the big picture, I'm not turned off by cliche storylines, I'm openminded in most cases. I also point out the good as well as the bad. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I can sugar coat things often a little too much, I tend to overlook minor tense changes. I can also be offline for random periods of time. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Romance, Humor
My favorite categories are the ones I write in, mainly anime. Yu Yu Hakusho, D N Angel, Yu-gi-oh, Inuyasha. I also enjoy Harry Potter Fics.
However, I'm willing to also beta categories I don't write in. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'd really rather not beta read Yaoi, Lemons, M- material. However, if the material only barely has these, I can still be persuaded. |
