Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I focus a lot on characters being portrayed in the original way they are intended to, unless the general tone of the work justifies some change in behavior. Plot isn't as big of a deal for me, but character plausibility is something I really look out for in fanfiction. Less important is correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation but that just comes from me being a very nitpicky type of person. I'm quite open as of now for being able to read through people's work as I enjoy it as much as writing, maybe even a bi more so. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
As stated above, I look at characters over the plot, dialogue over description. I like to think I'm a good judge of deciding how characters should sound like when they transition from the actual literature to fanfiction. Correcting grammar and other technicalities is also a strong point of mine but it feels weird to express this in that way. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I might be too nitpicky. I look at specifics rather than the overarching picture and I might not be as good at descriptive works as I am at analyzing talks between characters. Literary criticism is a bit of a subjective matter to be and I'm not sure what other fields I may be lacking in. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Stories with a fair degree of seriousness to them, adventure and interactions between characters, especially those which don't see each other a lot in the original work. Mystery and suspense are great to read, and some humor fics are good if written with adequate maturity. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
The only things I wouldn't be able to read probably aren't accepted here anyways. I guess I'm not interested in your SuperWhoLock Hunger Games crossover though. |
