Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Well to begin, I take my reading very strictly. Even if I have many mistakes myself I find it quite irritating to see things that can be spelled correctly (such as easy words) being cut into little pieces to 'speed up the writing process.' I also have low tolerance for not spacing between periods or commas. I also despise the fact of improper grammar usage. All of us are at least old enough to have learn the proper way of grammar use. I can understand a few times here and there, but in every chapter, of every page is not acceptable. I am quite content with very exotic word usage, as I am still a student and would like to expand my vocabulary to its limit. I hope that you will find my services useful, as those skills I listed above will save you in life at any time in need.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Some of my strengths are that I try my hardest to spell correctly. One other is that I have a thing for writing things that include dry humor (the driest of the dry) and the gooey kind of romance. I am good with long distance fights (such as with guns or throwing objects) and can make a killer dying scene. I can also do wicked endings and I have a wide vocabulary span (from the sickest words to the sweetest ones).
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weaknesses is comma placement. I know how hypocritical, but I had(have) a serious issue with commas. I understand commas in a series, but it's commas in general. Enough with that, my other weakness is that I tend to carry on the topic. I go on to the point of insanity for my readers, which I think is a weakness. I sometimes tend to type really fast without looking back up for a really long time and misspell words but aren't corrected by Word because they're just normal words. I get very squeamish with anything that involves blood, knives, and necks in the same topic. I also cannot, absolutely do hand-to-hand combat. I just can't hands down. Another one of my weaknesses is that I tend to skip from one thing to another. Please for other betareaders reviewing my work, point these things out for me. That would mean a lot to me.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Romance, Drama, Humor (Dry, mean, sick), Anything Cute, Sweet, One-Shots, Something that will Move Me, Scary (supernatural and gore), Tear-Jerking.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Things that have way too much gore in them, that make no sense at all, that have no plot or story line, a story that has no barrier (as in it has not been edited, has no stop to frequent cursing, and is down right choppy), a story with an invincible character, Mary-Sues and Gary-Stues.
