Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I love English, and I think I'm pretty good about picking out grammar or spelling mistakes. I will read just about anything. I'm not too picky. But there are a few things that I refuse to read.br /br / I have proofread stories and essays more times than I can count. I am currently betareading a story called "She's Country." Check it out if you would like to see my work. She wrote the first seven chapters before I started betareading for her. Or, if you are willing to beta read one of my stories, contact me. I would love a beta reader.br / br / If you would like to request my services or beta read one of my stories, please don't hesitate to send me a PM. I also don't mind being "interviewed" if you'd like to talk with me before you "hire" me as your beta reader. I promise I won't bite. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am good at proofreading, and I can also point out where there might need a bit more detail or dialogue. I'd also like to think that I'm a pretty well-rounded writer/reader/proofreader.br /br /br / br /br / br / If you'd like a better feel of my skills and weaknesses, read my stories. They're all self edited, for I couldn't find a beta reader to edit them for me. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
When I proofread, I tend to not point out certain things because I sometimes think that it is above their level, or if it's just not how I would write it, and then I will more likely skim. I might also hand out ideas that you may not want or need, so feel free to ignore them.br /br /br / br /br / br / Once again, to get a better handle on my strengths and weaknesses, read my stories. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Once again, I'm not too picky. I'll read just about anything that you send me. I can't promise that I'll love it, but I'll read it.br /br /br / br /br / br / I don't mind blood and gore. Especially if it is done well. Then I will enjoy it very much. Same goes for angst.br /br / br / br /br / br / I would actually prefer to read angst more right now because I'm currently writing a pretty angsty story, and I would love some really good examples.br /br / br / br /br / br / If you would like me to read your Twilight story, I like the wolf pack best. Vampires are okay, but I would like the Edward and Bella to be kept to a minimum. Specifically Bella. She just sort of annoys me. No offense if you love her or anything, but I just don't like her that much, and I won't do the best job of editing it if I don't like the character.br /br / br / br /br / br / I will also read fluff. I actually enjoy it as long as it isn't goo. See below. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
For Twilight, all human or heavy Bella and Edward goo. Goo is what I like to call the fluff that has gone too far and is just plain disgusting. So, I'd prefer none of that. And nothing too sexy. I refuse to beta read stories that violate my morals. If it does, then I will comment that the story does not work for me, and that will be it. So, please, keep it fairly tasteful. |
