Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hey, I am LexTempus, but you can call me Lex or Tempus or whatever moniker you can come up with, if you wish to.br /

br /

I'm a very fast, very critical reader. When I read something, I try to look at it from every possible angle. I have a very good aptitude for English, and am a big stickler for sentence structure, spelling errors (when I catch them), and the use of words, phrases, or the accuracy of certain statements. I love to read and write, so I know the pitfalls people fall into in their stories.br /

br /

I do almost any genre, from horror to romance to action to fantasy. I'm very diverse and am open to a lot of things.

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am very big on grammar and sentence structure. I will catch when you change tenses too often, if you switch from perspectives, or if something is unclear and needs further explanation.br /

br /

I am also good at social interactions between people, the time and placement of events, and evaluating the probabilities of certain events happening and making them believable.

My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weaknesses would probably homonyms, but I'm quite aware of that so I try to catch myself when I am reading those. To a lesser extent, I may miss a few punctuation errors, but it won't be huge, glaring errors.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I can do a wide range of genres, but my specialties are fantasy, action and adventure, romance, and angst. However, I'm always open to a whole list of things, although I may need time for research if I am too vastly unfamiliar with the territory, which doesn't happen very often.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Hmm. Nothing too much dissuades me. I can read anything from slash to het to fluff to sex. I'm very open. One thing I do ask is that it isn't a "squick" fic. I do not want to read anything overtly disgustingly insensible.
