Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I beta for grammar, keeping in character, spelling, and just general flow and plot consistency. I only beta for specific fandoms, though, namely things that I know well enough to write for. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
- grammar - spelling - keeping characters /in/ character - working with flow - making stories readable and attractive to readers |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not a fan of fixing plots. I prefer to come up with my own ideas, so I really don't tend to look at how much the plot can be fixed. Character-driven stories, especially when I am very familiar with the characters involved, often work best for me to edit. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I like to beta what I know. I mean, how can you tell someone that they're keeping people in character or not if you haven't actually read/ seen what the fandom is and what the characters act like. Therefore, I prefer to beta: |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I'd much rather not beta fics that you haven't at least first tried to edit yourself. A lot of writing is learning what you can do on your own to become a better writer, not about calling in someone else to help you all the time. Recognize the mistakes you usually make and correct them--you'll get a lot farther that way. |
