Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hey people!
Do you need a beta reader? I am ideal for the job! (this is sounding like a CV!). I cannot stand grammar and spelling mistakes, it really annoys me when I am reading Fan Fics, and puts me off the whole story, so I would be the perfect Beta Reader. I am good at English and Spelling - I am aiming for A* English GCSE you know! It's among one of my best subjects. Yes, I do a lot of reading and I have an eye for mistakes. I don't have many preferences, I will read anything! Though I do love a good sense of humor, so if you think your story is funny or ironic I will be extra happy to read it. Mwah, love you! LOL xoxo
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am very good at spelling, it has to be said. I read a lot so there are very few words I don't know the spelling of. I am also a quick reader, and can skim read.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I find it hard to think of the right words a lot of the time; I find I repeat myself often. For example I use the same word twice in sentences, like, "The bird cried out; its cry was piercing." See? I often use the synonyms tool on Microsoft Word, so I can change it to, "The bird cried out; its screech was piercing," or similar.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I like to read any kind of story really, but in particular amusing ones. I like to read Georgia Nicolson fics. But I won't care what category you write for really, as long as I have read the book/ seen the film. I don't even have to like the film/book/show. For example, I don't particularly like Twilight, but I will happily read any Twilight fics. I think you guys write them better, anyway. :)
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Any of those really depressing, cutting yourself type of stories. I also don't like really cheesy stories, they make me squirm. Cliche alert! However, I don't mind SOME cheese, AS LONG as it's original and not the dreadful 'then we rode off into the sunset', or 'when we kissed there were fireworks' type of story.
