Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I have some previous experience beta-reading for a friend who has an account on FFN; however, friends are too forgiving. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm a stickler for grammar and spelling - which is a byproduct of several years in Honors English. I promise, I will not "flame" you unless I am suspicious that you have committed plagiarism - in which case a flaming is less than you deserve.
I can only enjoy a story properly if the words flow across the page, not jerk about like a tangled marionette. It takes an effort to impress me, I'm afraid. For a better idea of my cup of tea, contact me for a list of stories that people posted that I beta-read. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not perfect; I'm new to beta-reading; I'm not the best writer in the world; I have made mistakes before that would cause me to drop your story if you did so. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I don't usually like to read about things I've never seen/read. A safe bet is something I have written, or am planning, as per my profile, to write about. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Video games, anything slash, M-rated stories in which the M plays a greater part than the story. |
