Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I spend most of my time reading, so i thought i'd do something productive for a change...i'm on the computer almost everday (save maybe Wednesday), but i'm trying to improve my grades currently, so i might not have as much time (but i'm still gonna try).My writing preferences tend to lean towards Astro Boy (for the 09 movie) with the occasional Angel, but i'll read anything if i've seen it/like it. If you have any questions or something, feel free to PM me :) |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
One of my bigger strengths is spelling. i'm also fairly good with big words (i'm not really sure if that's considered a skill, but i thought i'd throw it out there). As for grammar, i guess i'm not too bad. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
i have a hard time coming up with alternative words (does that make sense?). Like, i tend to use the word "said" or "asked" alot. So if you have trouble with that, then i won't be much help. As i said before, i'm not too bad at gramatical stuff, but i'm not great either. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
So basically, i'll beta lots of fandoms (to see a list of my preferences, check out my profile). As for ships, if i like it, i'll read it. i wish i could say i don't like slash, but alas, i'm one of those dirty minded teens that do. i don't usually take it seriously, but Gelphie (wicked) & LindseyxAngel (Angel the series)are the exceptions. For a list of ships i support, and ships i hate, check out my profile.As for Astro Boy, I'm definitely best with 09 movie based fics (cuz i know the most about the movie). Now onto types of stories-i'm not picky. i love humor, but i also love a good dark fic (especially if its dark erotica...i sound like a perv...), and who doesn't love a good dose of angst? So yeah, I'll pretty much read anything, from fluff to soft-serv porn. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Like i said, if i haven't seen it or i don't like it, then i won't read it. I don't read anything anime (save Astro Boy, cuz he's my favorite), not because i'm against it, but just because i don't read/watch anime in real life. Like i said above, not big on slash as a whole (but i like certain couples), nothing Bangel (BtVS) or NickxKira (Push). I'm not huge on pointlessly pornagraphic fics, but i'll read the occasional lemon (if it's artistically done, then i'll especially like it). If it's a love scene in the middle of a romance story, than it's okay with me. Don't even ask me to do Twilight (sorry, Twilighters) because i refuse.Other than that, i'm up for anything! :) |
