Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am a reader that looks for descriptions of things, people, locations, emotions, ect. I am polite, kind and tend to read through works efficiently and slowly. Though I like to make suggestions, one doesn't have to take them, and that is fine. I do not rush when I am reading. I am a fast reader, but I do not skip over anything while I am reading. Expect me to be critical about spelling. I tend to have that strength in reading and will often correct someone on their spelling (including my mother.) I look over words that I find are spelled in an interesting way.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am quite good at spelling. I read a lot, therefore, I can spell. I also look for good discrption. I can help with discrption, and I know people that are even better than I am. I read words over more than once, if some sentence or another does not make sense, and attempt at having it make sense before consulting another source. I read quickly, but do not lose track of what exactly I am reading. If I do, then I go back and read again.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weaknesses would be some grammer, that I am working on and can consult others for that. Also, I tend to lack some discrptive writing, but it's getting so much better. Semi-colons are one thing that I find weird and don't know how to use them in writing very well. Commas I'm better at.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I prefer to read stories that have at least a plot. If one loses track of a plot, go back and try to find it. I am good at Angst, I found out. As well as, Romance, Humor and friendship.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I will not read stories that use shorthand writing, slang, or emoticons. They aren't my cup of tea. I would not however, read Yaoi/Yuri stories. I like straight pairings mostly, though I can tolerate yaoi... Some. Stories that are too descriptive of sexual contact for that rating, is another thing that doesn't suit me well. But, I will try to help edit them to its convenience.
