Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
If you are looking for help with the technical side of writing, then I'd love to work with you. I read and watch a wide variety of shows, movies and books. The ones I'm most immersed in are,
books by Neal Stephenson
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Piers Anthony's Xanth (though it's been awhile now!) Ruroni Kenshin and Samurai X (manga and anime) Big O
Law&Order: Criminal Intent (and, to a lesser extent the other L&O series) X-Men (movies and comics) Fullmetal Alchemist
Robert Heinlein's novels
everything Dave Duncan has ever written
Fruits Basket (anime and manga) Ghost in the Shell (movies and anime) Death Note
Star Trek
Star Wars
Lord of the Rings (books and movies) |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Spelling, grammar, usage, and story structure are areas I particularly pay attention to when reading critically. I also am very familiar with the canon background of several anime and US tv series, as well as a wide range of sci/fi and fantasy books. I dont mind reading something based on a show or book I've never watched or read. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Well, I'm a teacher so if I sound a little too nitpicky sometimes, that's my excuse! But being nitpicky with technical aspects of writing doesn't mean I don't like the story! I'm not so good at assisting in creating plot or determining what a character should do next. That's something best left up to the writer and the original inspiration for the fic. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I adore fluffy romance stories, but I enjoy suspense/thriller type stories and parodies too. I'm also rather embarassingly fond of angst. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
No graphic depictions of homosexuality, or romances of that type please. Also, no extreme violence/torture/horror elements. The sort of themes found in the Law&Order shows, or violence seen in Samurai X are about my limit. |
