Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am a person who has beta read many stories in the past, most, if not all in some sort of anime. I have been on this site for 4 years, and have seen all sorts of stories, the good, the bad, and the "good lord my eyes, they burn", and have helped move some of the last two up to good. If I change something in the story it won't be plot devastating. If you want some specific wording just tell me (please keep the wording like that). And I try my best to give encouragement at the end of each chapter I beta. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am very good with the English language, mainly with grammar and punctuation. I have passed a college level English class in high school (AP English III) and went on to critique the worst student's essay the following year. I bet that there's nothing that you can do that I haven't seen before. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am not very good with any other languages, and I tend to just leave those parts unbeta'd, so if you would please put what the word is and/or how you want that part conveyed, it would be much appreciated. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I highly enjoy Anime, and have read quite a few manga during school, now that they blocked this site. I have read up to the latest released in Japan, or to completion on all of those mangas. All the games I have played. I spend all of my time reading manga online. Every Anime that I put up there is a series or books and TV shows I have seen and or read. I know how the character relationships are, so that really helps when beta-ing. Only on Kingdom Hearts, I only have played through (reading the manga does count, right) the first game, but i'll beta for the second. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I do not like to read hard core yaoi, yuri, shonen ai, or shoujo ai, but if it is light i.e. i can pretend they are just really good friends, then I'll do it. |
