Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Well, I'm nothing if not thorough. Anything sent to me will return completely riddled with black marks (literally; I beta by making all changes and comments bold). I'm good with grammar, style, and plot hole filling, and I can promise you that I will at least try to beta everything I receive. However, my tolerance for idiots is nonexistent-I'm a beta, not a miracle worker. Still, I strive to pull up all stories I receive to my ridiculously high standards. I'm also OC-friendly; I don't mind them at all and will not immediately condemn any I see.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
If there's one thing that I can say with absolute certainty about my editing habits is that I am thorough as hell. (And hell is extremely thorough. Ever been there? Suffering as far as the eye can see, nothing at all like heaven, where bliss factors tend to get a little shaky at times. Hell gets all the bureaucrats, they tend to be good at that stuff.) Rest assured that I will completely pick apart everything I'm sent until it's as close to perfect as conceivably possible.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm rude. Sorry. Most people I edit for come away from the experience with at least slightly bruised egos. And sometimes if your writing is enough of a chore to slog through, I'll get lazy and have to be constantly kicked to get me to finish it. And when it comes to characters I really like, I get kind of biased in stories concerning them.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
*shrug* My attention span is short and my nature is flighty, so you'll get better results with short stories. Or ones that are engaging enough for that not to matter.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Nothing X-rated, please. I'm still with that tiny minority that believes fanfiction isn't just for porn.
