Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hi! I’m Hina Jaganshi. I’ve never, ever been a beta reader before but I love reading fics, I’m an above average student, and I know what I like. I read a lot of good novels and treat every fic I read as if it could be just as good as stuff that’s on the market today. I’m not that great at grammar but I’m quite good at coming up with descriptions, character development, dialogue, emotional mush, and stuff like that. BUT I do have a bit of a warning before we go on! I’m a very devout Catholic, a sixteen-year-old girl, and quite wholesome. I WILL NOT accept any fics containing the following: Yaoi or yuri, sex scenes or romantic scenes that go beyond a simple kiss, no language over “damn” or “hell”, no incest, and no occult/demonic things. If you have any fics containing that kind of thing, then I’m sorry but I’m not your girl. I’m a product of my birth and raising; not ashamed of it, either. But I love reading, I’m not harsh, and I wouldn’t mind making friends! I’ll do oneshots or chapter fics; any length is fine with me. Write and tell me what you want help with, I’ll work with you, and we’ll get the stuff out there! Yay! |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I love vivid descriptions and using words that people haven’t heard a lot before. You know, like taking boring words, substituting them, and brightening up a paragraph. I’m pretty good at dialogue and stuff; I keep it in canon, as well. I can do very good emotional stuff, helping out with that type thing. I specialize in brother-sister, father-daughter, and boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Those are the type things I love reading, writing, and reviewing. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Like I said: I’m not that great at grammar or punctuations. I work better when it comes to emotional type stuff. I’m good at a lot of other things, though, and I can do decent grammar corrections. I’m also pretty weak at fight scenes; but I’m willing to try anything. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
My three passions are Yuyu Hakusho, Final Fantasy X, and Kingdome Hearts. I love Hiei, Kurama, Auron, and Axel most especially. I’ll also do POTC, Harry Potter, Maximum Ride, Final Fantasy 7 but only if it pertains to the movie Advent Children, and some others. Write me to find out what I do and don’t do, if you will. My preferred genres are humor, romance, fantasy, and drama. I especially love father-daughter or brother-sister fics. So, if Auron has a daughter, then I want to beta read her! If Hiei’s got another sister, outside of Yukina, hand her over to me! Friends, lend me thy children! |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Things I won’t do, as listed above: Yaoi or yuri, sex scenes or romantic scenes that go beyond simple kissing, no language over “damn” or “hell”, no incest, and no occult/demonic things. Sorry but I’m young, innocent, and aim to remain that way….got it memorized? Genre’s I don’t really like: Mystery, suspense, western, crime, or horror. I’ll do western, mystery, suspense, and crime if it’s really well written but never, ever horror. I can’t endure horror movies, books, or anything like that! What can I say: I’m a wimp. |
