Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm a college student majoring in Studio Art. While I am not an English major or minor, I love to read. My father was an English/History teacher, and my mother has a BA in English, so I have a pretty good understanding of the subject despite my lack of official study. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Grammar, spelling, and general sentence structure. I think I'm better at editing than I am at writing, strangely enough.
I also have an intermediate understanding of French, which I studied five years. In other words, I know more than just the basics, but I'm definitely not fluent.
As I enjoy reading, I have a good understanding of many subjects, especially psychology, biology, history, religion, and various cultures. I also enjoy looking up things I do not know about, so I can be a fact-checker even if I'm not familiar with the subject. I try to stay open-minded. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not much of a Brit-picker, though I've read enough Harry Potter fic to know a few words and phrases. My French is decent, but far from perfect. I am not the fastest editor ever. I prefer to spend some time checking over and considering everything before I give my opinion. I'll probably need a day or two on average for most chapters. I read erotica and educational works about sex, but I have little experience actually writing it. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I will admit to this now: I am a slash fiend. I definitely prefer slash over anything else, but I'll consider hetero works as well.
My favorite genres are definitely angst, drama, hurt/comfort, and anything else on the darker side of human nature. Most, if not all, of my OTPs are train wrecks waiting to happen. Favorite OTPs: HP/SS (Harry Potter) Erik/Raoul (PotO) Javert/Valjean (Les Mis) Sweeney/Anthony (However, I hated the Depp/Burton version, so please save me from "skunk hair" and fragile sailor descriptions) Judas/Jesus (:evil laugh:) |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Sweet romances make me cringe, but I'll consider them as long as they're not too OOC. I tend to get impatient with song-fics for some reason, and M-preg (or any detailed pregnancy story for that matter) is faintly disgusting to me. |
