Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm new to all this beta-ing thing, but I promise I'll work hard! I might not have a lot of time on my hands but I'll get everything back to you in three days tops, unless I'm out. I don't really mind if pieces are sent to me or if a whole chunk is, really. I will check spelling, grammar, the overall flow of the story, logical flow, and I'll usually catch any random typos that may be there. Usually, I like to highlight things that I want attention brought to and put some sort of comment in parentheses next to that section, but if the problem is something small like a spelling mistake, I'll most likely just correct it then and there, but still highlight it just in case it was on purpose. I check my email every day, so whether you want to ask for me to beta or send me some writing for beta-ing, I'll likely be pretty quick to reply. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Catching spelling/grammar mistakes, being picky with word choice (sometimes overly so), finding synonyms to diversify word choice, and improving overall flow (be warned that I sometimes do this by moving things around). |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I might be a bit busy sometimes, and I tend to skim over huge paragraphs, reducing my efficiency. I'm pretty critical of OCs, sometimes unfairly so. Also, I sometimes have a word at the tip of my brain and just can't remember it... |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I love oneshots, so I'll beta those pretty much no matter what, but chaptered fics are okay, too. Phoenix Wright and FMA Brotherhood are my specialties. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Almost everything M rated. I prefer not to read them, God forbid read them in depth, but it really depends on what it is that causes the M rating. Also, I cannot stand copious amounts of swearing. |
