Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
One thing that bugs me the most when reading a story is silly mistakes like a missed key, or using the wrong form of a word. Usually if I'm beta reading I will look to make sure grammar, punctuation, and spelling are all correct, however I will also look at style and ooc-ness if that is what the author wants.
I can be contacted at any time and I'm usually not too far from the computer, so I'd be able to respond quickly.
I'll be nice to your style of writing and I wont point and laugh at your mistakes either; after all, we are all human (well, most of us) and we make mistakes. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
My strengths are style, ooc-ness, grammar, and spelling. If your writing style is diffrent to mine and I make some sort of comment just tell me that's not how you do things and I'll remember it in the future. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weaknsses are punctuation, but it can be done. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'm not picky, I'll look at anything with an open mind. I love yaoi and yuri, but I like het as well so relationships are not an issue. If I don't know the fandom I'll look into it so that I know what I'm dealing with, unless you just want Grammer. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I would rather not beta read Mary sues, and crack-fics. (meaning stories that make the characters seem like they are on drugs. I don't think weird pairings are crack-fics.) I would though if you really needed me to. |
