Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
hi! for anyone who read this profile a while back, i have now extended my expertise to include, FFVII, FMA, Hellsing, Bleach, VK, Claymore, Labyrinth, and yeah, if you really need a beta and i haven't read/seen/played whatever you need, i can either just take care of grammar/spelling or add that to my list of stuff that i have to catch up on and go ahead and do a little research just to familiarize myself with characters. i tend to focus more on plot-probability, i.e. can it be squeezed into a timeline and do the characters fit that timeline?
My schedule has opened up quite a bit since i started college, so no matter the length i should be able to reply to you within a day at the most. i prefer to have stories emailed to me directly as a word document so i can do some edits and make notes in the story (i could probly do that with the file sharing system provided by ff but i'm not as familiar with it) |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
i'm good with grammar, spelling, some character development. i can tell you if your OC is really cheesy/cheap imitation (because one of my own OCs was one... needless to say that story has been killed until further notice .), and if someone is obviously OOC beyond all reason i will tell you |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
i have a hard time pin-pointing subtle OOC-ness if the plot is good. example: most torture fics i will love despite the fact that they tend to make the torture-ee look slightly weaker than they should be. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
i'll take just about anything really! i love reading lemon (lately i haven't been reading anything with a rating less than M) so i'm pretty ok with helping there. i've never written one outside of RP tho so i'm not sure how much help i'd really be. however, if it's a pairing of characters that i don't think would ever be in that situation no matter the circumstances (other than maybe rape) i probly won't be able to help other than to tell you to pick a different pairing. also, if you're wanting me to beta a twilight fic i would prefer something extremely loosely based on the books. AUs would be best, please no sparkly vampires. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
i'm not a big fan of crossovers unless the two sources take place in the same universe. like two movies that take place on earth or at least start on earth and can be reasonably placed in the same timeline. if a story doesn't make sense at all or is a blatent rewrite of the original i will be rather mean with my criticism, so if you can't take hearing that your entire idea sucks, don't come to me. Mpreg(without extreeeeemely good reasons!), incest, etc. is also rather gross. |
