Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I enjoy writing but I love reading. I am not a grammar beta. I repeat I AM NOT A GRAMMAR BETA. I am a CONTENT beta. I will help you with consistency, content, and word usage. If I see grammar mistakes I will correct them but it is not my forte. You may think that word usage falls under grammar but I can assure that it does not. The words that you use can make or break a dialogue and in some cases the story itself. I will readily admit that when I write I do so fleetingly. But reading is my passion and I will do everything in my ability to make what I read the best that it can be. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I excel at correcting content, consistency, and word usage. I work well with stories that fall under the genre of humor, romance, slash, action, crime, drama, friendship, horror, and suspense. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am not a grammar beta and there is a reason for that. I can, and for the most part am, able to see and correct any grammar mistakes that are made but it is not my strong suit and sometimes grammar mistakes slip through my fingers. I don't work well with stories that fall under the genre of poetry or aghast (and no, horror and aghast are not the same thing.). If you have a story that is aghast in nature and want me to beta it I will. I simply find stories with unhappy endings to be depressing and they have the potential to ruin my entire day. I wont turn you down because of it though. I will however turn you down if you are writing poetry. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I would genuinely love it if I had more people who wanted me to beta their romance stories. I love humor and I find myself partial to stories that contain slash. I also love anything that has to do with Star-Trek or the Avengers and I am well versed enough in these topics to spot any inconsistencies. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I won't turn anyone away who comes to me for help. I find it admirable that you would go to such lengths as to actively seek help out and I couldn't turn you down even if I wanted to. (Except for anyone writing poetry. I'd turn you down in an instant.) |
