Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm very critical when it comes to grammar and I STRONGLY DISLIKE bad grammar (sorry!) and I just get really irksome when a story has too much grammatical errors. But I do stick around sometimes if I like the story that much. I'm also particular with sentence construction and consistency with tense. I like stories that have long plot lines cause they open up the story more and it makes the story more understandable; I don't like stories that just exist merely for the purpose of existing. It has to be relevant. You could expect me to write from the most unbiased POV I could muster, and I would critically read over your work and write down everything I feel about it. If it makes you feel more secure when thinking about acquiring my service, I'm a college student taking up Mass Communication major in Communication Research. That means I love writing, I love what I do and I take it very, very seriously.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I look at stories in three ways: the technical POV, the critical POV, and the I'm-only-going-to-look-at-the-strengths-of-this-story POV. If you want constructive criticism then I'd give you that in the most honest way possible, and I don't sugarcoat stuff. I'm sorry but I just don't. On the other hand if I happen to fall in love/ be obsessed with your story then I'm gonna tell you that upfront too, and cheer you on :D (I don't bite. If I end up not liking your story I'm not going to write hateful things/ be mean to you cause that's just downright wrong. As much as possible I'd like to be friends with everyone here.)
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Okay I tend to become biased when my OTP's get together in a story because I absolutely adore a story that has an ending I could fall in love with. I generally tend to like stories more if they happen to speak my mind. Another weakness is I overthink everything, so a review from me wouldn't come up right away; if it takes longer than usual it just means I'm currently obsessing over it. Lastly, I'm not going to be a hypocrite and tell you my stories are flawlessly perfect and politically correct in all aspects, because they're not. Some of the things I've listed here (things I don't like) appear in my stories because I'm a wuss.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I'd like to read fast-paced and action packed ones, the ones that keep your heart racing and anticipating the next chapter. I love cliffhangers and a little suspense, and I'm a sucker for love stories. Anthing that has a little drama and tragedy in it just keeps me going, so you could say I prefer that over dull/repetitive ones.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I don't like to read stories that alter too much stuff from the realm they're writing from cause it stops being a fanfiction when it goes in that direction. I'd rather see the characters not deviate from who they really are in the books or in TV cause it makes it more realistic (I mean realistic to the realm it's in). I also don't like a lot of new characters; one or two is bearable. I DON'T LIKE repetition or redundancy because it just becomes boring, but I'd be willing to critic if you'd like me to.
