Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm pretty much going to check the flow of your dialog, if you stay in tense consistently, if you change tense when why and how well, I'll check your grammar and writing style so it meets the guidelines of Bedford Writer's Handbook, a resource I believe every writer should own. I have varied interests and will help you with technical issues like ship performance in a dog fight should you need it and dialog transition. I'm a big fan of balanced style which means I'll help you have the right amount of dialog, scene description and /br / I tutored creative writing and composition in high school and collage. I earned high grades (marks) in both and most of the people I tutored made deffinate improvement in their critical thinking which is one of the most important criteria of a good writer. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I have a good handle on how the main characters act when it comes to Star Wars Stargate and Sailor Moon. I recognize Mary Sue quickly and will point out ways to help you not be one. I will be able to help you improve your writing from passive to action oriented and I have an excellent handle on plot /br / I'm good at fleshing out chracter proflies as I grew up with an obsessive RPG player and played my share of campaigns. I'm also very good athelping you 'see' your character's environment so you can write out it's description / br / I belive in making fictional things believeable in the real world as it helps people relate to your world. I'm reasonably knowlegeble in a huge selection of subjects and have access to people experts in some things I don't know so if I tell you something doesnt work that way its because I checked. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am a poor speller so I won't catch certain things. My Japanese culture is patchy too as my instructor passed away a few of years ago before I could complete my training. I do however have a good handle on real vs. manga appropriate interactions so please specify if you wish your style to be realistic or fantastic. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I prefer anime and science fiction FF though I will accept others especially if I'm familiar with the original story or can quickly familiarize myself with it. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Please do not ask me to BETA stories based on completely unlikely pairings as there is a reason certain characters are together and not others. Not into switching up sexuality. Please keep lgbtq characters as is and vice versa. I will critique you extra hard if it's song fic or poetry because it really rarely works well. I don't mind crossover style as long as it stays cannon so not into a Kriptonian Vulcan Jedi who just happens to be on present day earth for no apparent reason and it had better not be because she's an orphan left there to protect her or that she lacks all the weaknesses but none of the benefits of any of those things. *coughcoughcoughmarysuecoughcough* Other than that I'm pretty much open to anything else and will tell you if it's not my cuppa. |
