Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am probably very thorough. Also, I am very specific and 'picky'. I read very carefully and will pick up the most insignificant error. If you want a flawless piece of writing I think that I may be helpful for that. A few of my pieces have not been edited yet, so they have minor mistakes, this is only because I have not even read them over twice. When I do get a chance to edit, nothing escapes my editing. I always type with correct grammer and spelling, even while instant messaging.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
My strengths as a beta reader would be spelling, most likely. I think I spell pretty well. That is just my opinion. Also, my vocabulary, I have a very wide range of vocabuary. I have excellent grammar that I often use while typing and spot in some fan fictions. I am not trying to brag, I promise, these are just my strongest points.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weaknesses would be not obtaining a whole lot of patience. A lot of the time, the fan fiction has to be well thought out and a good plot for me to continue reading. Of course, what ever story I was beta reading, I would force myself to finish. I also am very prejudiced of certain characters in the Twilight series, though I won't say who, but I will try hard not to let that get to me while reading.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I would prefer reading stories that have substance to them, such as at least one thousand words per chapter. I will read stories that have less than that, but those stories must be continued. I also like reading humerous one shot stories. These are always entertaining. Also, I will probably read anything someone invites me to, unless it is one of the things listed below. I also prefer fan fictions that will be updated often.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I would not beta read stories that have any other pairings than the ones in the book or television series. Unless, these pairings are reasonable. For instance, (from the Twilight series) Edward would never leave Bella again, and Bella would never choose Jacob over Edward. Also,'song fics' kind of annoy me, sorry to those of you who like them. Also, the summary should not say 'I'm really bad at writing summaries so...' that does not mean anything. The summary should also be of some substance and actually give an idea as to what will take place in the story. Also, at the end of chapters, please, PLEASE don't put 'Now I want (enter number here) reviews before I continue'. That is horrible, and I know a lot of people who read fan fictions, and putting that there dicourages them from reading because it is so aggravating.
