Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I've recently come into a great deal of free time, and as I love to read a wide array of stories, I figured that I'd couple this enjoyment with the chance to help someone out outside of reviews.I tend to burn through a fic at a fairly rapid pace, especially if it catches my interest, so I can give big picture feedback as well as focus on specifics if that's your wish. This also means that I can give fairly prompt feedback, although I shy away from schedules. I won't shy away from telling you what I think needs work, but I will never be condescending or insulting, and all my feedback will be constructive. If you'd like me to beta a story, it would be much appreciated if basic things like an automated spell check were used beforehand. Also, it would be nice to have a brief outline of anything that you want looked at in particular, but if you just want to run it by me for a general opinion that's cool. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Dialogue: Character interaction is important, and I feel that once I have a good grasp of a character, I'm able to give voice to their thoughts, motivations, etc. I enjoy writing realistic, clever dialogue that flows well.Idea generation: For every good idea that I am determined to write I have a long word doc full of ideas, characters, plot points, and random minutiae that I might use. I can build entire worlds in my head and write them down. It's just getting those ideas arranged into a story that's the problem... |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm a quintessential grammar im-perfectionist, but it's good enough to catch major errors.As a writer I'm fairly minimalist, and like getting the point across without dragging it out too long. Not so much a weakness, but I might have trouble if you're looking to make your story or chapter longer. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I love stories of epic proportion, but I'll go for pretty much anything. I love good original characters! |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Discovery in progress. |
