Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader Number one.My, name Is VFK for any and all beta-ing purposes.
Number two. When you send me a story I will open it in word and edit it. You will get back a story with notes at the top of what you might want to change and certain suggestions for other words that you could use, and other small things like that.
Number three. You must have a good story line. You must also be willing to wait at least a week for a story. What can I say? Life gets in the way.
And Last but not least: I try not to be mean.... It really hurts my feelings when someone is mean to me and I don't like to inflict that on other people :D |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths Punctuation. Capitals. And knowing when something isn't "true to life" if you know what I mean. And last but not least, Humor. I can also set a mood really well.
I think that a lot of things go wrong in a story when somebody doesn't use contractions. So that's another thing I will check for.
I also can see when a story needs help with dialogue.... I've read several stories that I can hardly stand because the dialogue is sooooo pathetic.... not naming any names here.... |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses My weaknesses are probably getting swept up in a good story-line and forgettign that I'm supposed to be editing this and not just reading it. That's why I read it twice though..... |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others I love the Narnian universe and am familiar with the more pronounced authors such as Elecktrum and RTHStewart and several others...... |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for Slashes of any kind!!!! I hate that! Some ships I hate: Suspian is way overdone and if I see another Peter/Mary Sue, I'll cry.
Incest is just wrong on soooo many levels and any M (for sex) stories I will NOT read. |
