Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I look for how understandable a story is. If you're going to choose me as a beta reader, you have every right to reject anything I suggest. The only thing I ask is that you at least give it some thought. If you like your ideas or methods over a suggestion of mine, good for you! I only ask that you don't spit in my face if you don't agree with something. If you're a prick, consider yourself ignored; I'm not going to waste my time on you if you plan on treating me like crap. I'm also not going to review anything that I consider above the rules of this website (ie, pornographic stories). That's just wrong on so many levels.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I have good grammar and spelling, all the basics. I like to keep it simple and get points across quickly. I've had a bit of experience so far on FanFic.net. You're entire objective is to get your point across to the reader. You don't need to write an epic paragraph to do this. Adjectives and adverbs are like spice. You have to use just the right amount.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Very weak english background, not language-wise, but as far as academics goes. I've had a few writing classes, but it is on the low side of my priorities. I don't know advanced techniques, just the basics. If you're looking to take on Stephen King, look elsewhere. If you're looking to have fun, drop me a line.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I love action, first and foremost. I'll do romance AS LONG AS IT IS JUSTIFIABLE. Drama's good, suspense is good. In other words, anything pretty much (excluding the stuff I don't prefer.)
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Romance, girly pairings, boyish pairings. Like I said in my preferred section, romance, not erotic fantasies. Original characters people; I love original characters and to see how they are integrated into the story. However, I'm not going to beta your stories if you create a ridiculous, godlike character that is unstoppable in everyway possible.
