Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
As a beta-reader, or perhaps just as a reader in general, I expect that those who write fanfiction about a pairing in a set genre stick to that genre and know their characters. A little research on the author's end makes the beta's job flow smoothly. Also, for the author to be open minded about suggestions for changes no matter how big or /br /br / br /br / br / My style of beta-reading isn't mean, and I don't tell writers how stupid they are for making simple mistakes. I know people who've had those types of experiences with betas and so I can assure you that, I'm not one of them -everyone makes mistakes. Along with fixing mistakes I'll also talk with the writer about them (the mistakes) and how they can be avoided in the future. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am currently an English Major and I believe that it will help immensely with beta-reading as it has sharpened my eye for catching errors in formal essays and creative writing works. I not only read fast, which gets the job done quicker so the author can post their chapter, but I have a knack for catching the flow and rhythm of a story which allows me to notice right away when the pattern breaks. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Stated above, I am a fast reader -though that being said it is also a weakness because sometimes I do not catch everything on the first time through and have to reread. Also I tend to have trouble with organizing my time, however, if given a deadline I am able to make it within 24 hours of the given time (please take time zones into consideration for this flaw, I am in the time zone Atlantic -4). |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I am open to being a beta for all types of stories, except to the one listed in Not My Cup of Tea. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Stories which are completely ridden with Angst. If one character is angsty, because it is his/her character type than that is fine, however I try to stay away from angst stories because I typically do not enjoy reading them. |
