Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
So basically what I do is re-read the stories that I've been given carefully and correct any mistakes/errors that I've seen. To me it's my job to explain errors or mistakes that have been repeated in other stories/chapter as well as help you to understand that it's possible to write a story and correct any mishap no matter the severity. Whenever I read a story with countless mistakes, it makes me wonder sometimes how people miss such big errors, but then the answer lies in how the author went about posting the story whether it was hot off the press or a simple skim through. What I would really like to do is to make sure that stories are squeaky clean and do not disobey/disregard the guidelines for posting a story/chapter. I don't really expect anything from anyone who wishes to ask me to beta-read their stories; a simple explanation as to what is stopping you from reading your story thoroughly and making sure it's good for posting.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I particularly excel in capitalization, punctuation and spelling as well as getting rid of overused words and replacing them.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weaknesses are that sometimes I wish to change around a simple sentence in a story yet somehow the entire story gets twisted. Another thing is that I'm not too good with using expressions (i.e. similes and metaphors) and my eyes tend to overlook some errors once in a while.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Stories that I prefer would be ones where there aren't many confusing characters that I can't keep track of and those with a clear plot so that I have a free mind as to what is going on.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
There aren't any stories that I wouldn't betaread since I don't see the harm in doing so for a show/book that I've never seen/read before. Unless it's in a language that I have absolutely no idea about...then we have a problem.
