Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm an avid reader of all sorts, and while sometimes I have trouble writing, mostly due to motivation, if you ask me to review a good story, something with a plot or an idea, I can work with you. br /br /br / br /br / br / I'll accept just about every story, barring parodies, and the /br / br / br /br / br / I'd prefer an understanding between author and beta, however. If you want me to just be a reader, then I will be. If you want a critic, a critic I shall be. If you want an editor, I'll edit your work. I revise, I review, and I proofread. Do you want me to be harsh? Do you want me to go easy? Do you want an analysis of your story? If you'll have me as your beta, I need /br / br / br /br / br / Seek me out, PM me if need be. I know some French, and minimalistic Japanese, enough to say small things, but not lengthy. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm best at grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I love good plots, in both long and short stories, and character development. I believe in foundations, most especially with long stories. I excel in a variety of genres (more upon request) and I belong to heaps of different fandoms, so I can accomodate for many stories. If I don't know the show/movie/book/etc, I'll just proofread your work. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
As a writer, I often have to read and re-read over my work, I get so caught up in writing, I forget the simplest of /br /br / br /br / br / I'm not great with descriptions, I find there's a subtle art to it, so kudos to you if you manage it /br / br / br /br / br / As a beta, my biggest weakness is probably analysis. I will more than likely fail at repeating my favourite moments and scenes (has a lot to do with my bad memory). But I will attempt nonetheless! |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
If it belongs to something I know, it's more than likely a go. Ask me and find out. I love Harry Potter, Marvel, Supernatural, Star Wars, Star Trek, I dabble in DC, and so much more. I like anime, manga, games, books, movies, shows. it's worth a shot. If I don't like the universe it's set in, I might still go for it. I like all sorts of pairings, canon, non-canon, OC, hetero and homosexual, I don't discriminate. Drabbles, short stories, chaptered stories, long stories, anything. I'm a sucker for romance though. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
If your story is literally just an explosion of insanity, I'm not interested. I also don't accept any stories that support or condone bullying, harassment, assault, abuse, rape, murder, or suicide. If your story contains it but uses it as story/character development without actively encouraging it, that's fine. |
