Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Salutations and thank you for your interest. Mostly I will read your works with a critical eye for misspellings, word usage, and comma placements. I will try to maintain the flow of how you, the author, meant for the piece to be read, possibly adjusting punctuation as necessary. I try to be as understanding of another's viewpoint, and will accept any feedback you may wish to give. As strange as it sounds, think of me as your English teacher reading your fanfiction. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm pretty detail-oriented and I like to think that I am thorough. Stangely, I think I'm like an English teacher when it comes to corrections: spotting the to-too-two issues, oddball commas, subject-pronoun agreement, and verb-tense stability results in feeling the strong urge to find a red pen. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Sorry to those who do not write in Enlish-I'm only fluent in English, speaking and writing. I know how to write some Japanese words in Romanji, but I claim no proficiency in the language in a whole. I may come off as nit-picky in my attempts to improve the quality of the piece, siting redundance and vague "he"s everywhere in a scene of multiple men.br /br /br /br / br /br / br / br /br /br / br / br /br / br / Personally, I write my fics slowly and don't even upload them until near completion, if they get that far. I get distracted reading fics posted here while awaiting inspiration for my own. However, in making corrections and proofreading, I shall strive to be diligent and effecient. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Anything with a half-decent plot and some form of cohesive writing style thoughout the piece. If the piece pertains to a series or movie I'm not familiar with, Wikipedia may be necessary for clarifications, but that will not affect the quality of "beta"ing, I think. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Please, by all that's holy, no Pokemon, Naruto, or Sailor Moon. Those are about the only things that come to mind. I make this stipulation due to reading an ungodly amount of fics based off of these shows/manga being excrutiatingly poorly written and juvenile, as if a fourth grader wrote it. Or worse, as if someone from Walker County, Alabama, wrote it. It will send my poor little brain into meltdown, trying to figure out what the author meant as opposed to what he or she wrote. Don't get me wrong-there are still some gems amongst these catagories and many people enjoy these anime/manga. I personally don't know much about Naruto or Pokemon (as hard as that may be to believe), and Sailor Moon is just a little crazy to me. |
