Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm going to go with the standard "I always watch for spelling and grammar." answer here. It's the truth after all. Characterization is extremely important to me, and I won't hesitate to say so if I think someone is out of character. For instance, Emily saying "yeah" is one of those things I can't stand. Some might consider me to be an annoying nitpicker - they have good reason to. I will admit to being very nitpicky. Please keep in mind though, if I'm saying there are a ton of things to fix and improve, it's not that I think you're a bad author, it's that I see potential in your writing. Of course, sometimes I'll already be familiar with your work and think you can do better. :) So to recap, I look for spelling, grammar, and characterization, as well as being a firm believer in concrit. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Let me just start by saying how modest I am. Now that we've got that covered...As you might have noticed in my profile, I've written a good deal of angst. I'm pretty clear on what makes it good and what sounds cheesy. I know my characters inside out, backwards and forwards, and just about any other direction you can think of. So I'm good on picking up hints of OOC. I can handle pretty strong emotional situations (rape, cutting, abuse, etc.) |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I don't do super well with pure fluff as an author. I can pick out the good stuff while reading, but I won't be able to give you as many tips or fixes if there's something that I think doesn't sound right. Other than that, I'm good with just about anything. Once again, so modest. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Well...Gilmore Girls. But I guess to be more specific, I want JavaJunkie, and Literati. I also can do Twilight - Bella and Edward, and I can manage Harry Potter as well. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Absolutely no Balcony Buddy or Lorelai/Chris or anything resembling the two as a couple. Unless it has a happy ending with Lorelai and Luke together! I'd prefer not to have Narco (Rory/Dean), or Rogan or whatever Rory/Logan pairings are called. I don't like Bella and Jacob, and I also prefer not to do slash. It's not that I'm offended by it, but it's simply not my cup of tea. |
