Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
In the categories that I feel competent to judge content and characterization, I will be very specific about how I feel you could make your content better. I am excellent at English grammar and spelling; I will most definitely be able to help you with that.I give suggestions in the spirit of helping you make your writing better and more readable; none of my critiques are meant to put anyone down. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
As I mentioned above, I am excellent at English grammar and spelling. I enjoy writing humor the most. I have written humorous poetry also. I enjoy writing dialogue and include ethnic-type dialogue to give a flavor of the personality of the characters. I love the cross-over stories and have written several. I enjoy writing description to give the flavor of a scene. I like to be as logical in my plots as possible, and if my story includes anything I am unfamiliar with, like a historical situation, etc. I try to research it to make it as realistic as possible. I research the TV shows or other media that I am writing about also. I have also written some drama which includes humor most of the time. The drama can have a tragic air about it. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
In my writing, I sometimes have some trouble winding up the stories. Sometimes it takes me longer to end the story than does to write the rest of it. I am not familiar with some of the more contemporary slang and feel uncomfortable with certain situations that may come up in some fanfics. I am not familiar with some categories and there are some TV shows and books I am unfamiliar with. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I prefer humor stories; most of the TV sitcoms of the 50's, 60's 70's, 80's some later ones. I also like mystery, crime, adventure, western, drama. I like stories based on movies, musicals or books also. I have a special love for silent films, although I am sure I am probably the only one writing stories including silent or early talkie film characters. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I do not care to look at stories with sexual situations, horror, homosexual situations, abuse unless it is integral to the story (like crime stories) but not over done. I will not read any stories if they offend my religious sensibility. I will not read stories about the occult. I have one exception, I will beta Once Upon a Time stories and possibly other stories if they do not go too much into the dark side. I do not care for bad language. There are probably some things I haven't thought of, but will post here if it comes up. The category "T" is fine if it is given for drama's sakeI am not including games, anime or some of the other categories as I have no knowledge of them. |
