Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm willing to help who ever wants it! If you choose me as your beta, I will endeavor to be as constructive as possible! Be able to take both criticism and praise, I'll be fair :] I'm not a stickler for(or expert on)grammar/vocab/spelling/punctuation, etc. per se, but I will point things out as I notice them...which tends to be often. Depending on the writing technique and how much help you think you need I may range from fangirl praise to brutal honesty. But I don't want to put down your writing, just make it better. So ya, I guess my policy is tell me want you want and need and I'll call it like it is. I want my editing to help you. Hope I can!br /br /br /br /br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / I am currently beta-ing:br / br / The Replacement Captain: Ichigo Kurosaki, by Kreion (from Chapter 20 to 48)br / |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
vocabulary or spelling; word choice; placement; scene shifts; critical readingbr /br /br /br /br /br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / Pretty much anything I think. I'll be honest with you, don't be afraid to ask my opinion. I'll probably give you one anyways. I want to be as constructive as possible. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Neither my grammar nor spelling is perfect, I know this. But I'll do the best I can at finding things out if I don't know the answer and you want to get technical. Also, as a beta, it's a lot easier to notice mistakes as it isn't my original work. You know what they always say about a second set of eyes to look over stuff you may have missed! br /br /br /br /br /br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / Also I may be a little brutal, but hopefully not too abrasive(as said before), on important or simple mistakes. But I do not want to make it out like a failure. Hopefully my critique can be received in a constructive and positive light. I definitely won't be putting you down or anything really mean and negative, but I take this seriously and as such, if I see a problem I will point it out without sugarcoating it. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Well, really I am open to anything under my category stipulations. Obviously, if I haven't read a book or seen a movie, etc. I can't beta your work, unless you want me to just go for grammar and not content. I enjoy reading these so beta-ing them would be fun!:bbr /br /br /br /br /br /br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / HARRY POTTER...Hermione/Draco, Hermione/Severus, Hermione/(any one else really...I simply love a good Hermione character.

Any characters that are within the realm of original, clever, witty, snarky, devious, crafty, fun, you get the gist. See some of my favorited stories for any ideas of stuff i find entertaining, it's a large range. Really anything much in HP.

Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
If it's M, I'm not really into any M/M or F/F. If it's a threesome, ok. If there's some outside force pertaining to the activity, eh ok, but truthfully "not my cup of tea." Nothing against it, but I prefer to keep the characters in their given-ish sexual orientations. No matter how crazy the pair-ups can /br /br /br /br /br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / I can't think of much else. I guess I'm not much of a horror/suspense person, but I don't think that I have those categories checked anyways so...Well, I suppose some suspense is good, just depends how much and what /br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br /br / br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / Yes, I think that's all.
