Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am a beta reader, not your slave. I will not write your story for you. I have a life, so I can't always reply OMG SOON. I am usually a nice person and this beta profile is ridiculously and uncharacteristically curt for me.
Please read over your story at least once before sending it to me; it's common courtesy.
Got that? OK, then we're good to go!
I have no problems with most pairings or plot ideas. For the most part. If you send something that is Not My Cup of Tea (and I haven't explicitly stated them in that section) I will kindly inform you whether or not I feel comfortable being your beta.
I am a polite being, and I expect you to return me the sentiment as well.

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Characterization, spelling, story flow, and tense and plot consistency are my strong points. I am also willing to help you out with ideas.
If you need a few links sent your way for research purposes, I am willing to do a quick Google for you. Don't abuse it too much, though. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am not a Grammar Nazi; the finickier parts escape me, so you might want a second opinion for that. The same goes for sentence structure.
In some series I beta for, I haven't watched every episode/chapter/book/whatever, nor do I currently possess the ability to watch/read/whatever to fill in the holes of my knowledge of the canon. Sorry about that. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I like shorter chapters because it doesn't take as long, but I can do it if they are sent to me in easily digestible chunks. I don't like reading Twu Wub stories, so realism in romance is appreciated.
I love stories wherein a lot of thought has been put into them, but I like dealing with simpler fare as well. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Please don't send anything too OOC my way. Ditto for things that are so mistake ridden that they're incomprehensible. Other than that, anything's game for now.
PS: anything in this section is subject to change. |
