Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hay,

My name is Marahute Sol, and truth be told, I am not one, but two persons. No, I am not schizophrenic, we co-write stories. We have been for a very long time now.
For this site however, we have decided to use our Signature as a username and pretend to be but one person.
Rest assured, all comments and writings we really do together and when you are addressing this account, the both of us will read it at all time.
From now on however, I will pretend to be but one person to make things a bit less confusing. We hope.

I feel it important to mention: I am a student of English in the Netherlands so naturally my understanding of the English language has its limitations, such as spelling (long live the right mouse button). I do however posses, as is shown in my own stories, a great understanding of the language. A better one then most people who post here really, or so I have been told.

But more importantly, what do you get in recruiting me as a beta-reader?
You get a critical view of someone who masters four languages (Dutch, English, Sarcasm and German) and understands (receptively only I am afraid) a few more (Irish, Indonesian, American English and Australian English).
I therefor posses a very great general understanding of languages in general, enabling me to formulate and view things in a, unique, perspective.

Hope to hear from you,
Marahute Sol

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Great understanding of languages in general. I have a way of seeing thing and putting things that are quite unique.

Also, I do know a lot of advanced grammar; syntax, word order, the promotion or demotion processes, word classes, verb classes, grammatical categories, use of sub-clauses, inflection, normalization, analysis of head and complements and dependents, constituents etc etc etc...

My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Don't ask me to check your spelling. Use your right mouse button.

Oh, productively; tenses kill me, receptively; I can manage.

Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I have no preference for any format or type of story, though I prefer at least one good laugh.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
As long as you have done a spell check on your story I am happy to read anything in order to improve upon my own English.
