Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I read the story for you. I am here to encourage the flow of creativity and the exchange of ideas until you are satisfied with your work. I will not re-write your story but to simply help you enhance it. I also know my boundaries when it comes to suggesting ideas. If you don't ask for it, I won't give it. On the other hand, if you do want suggestions, then I will be honored to give you my opinion. I have levels of beta reading. If you want me to be gentle, I can be. I can switch from being simply there to edit to giving brutal honesty. You can let me know which you would prefer. I am most definitely going to honor your choice. TL;DR Let's be amicable and let's make this a good experience for both of us!
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
One of my strengths is creating plot twists and characterization. I find that I am excellent with keeping characters to their nature and keep them from diving into what we all know as a "Mary-Sue." I am also great with descriptions when needed, and I feel that I am good with dialogue as well. I am also good at setting a tone just through writing style.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
As for weaknesses, my tenses can be off. Some spelling mistakes due to the lack of editing (I am talking about my own stories, though this shouldn't happen with yours). Action scenes are hard for me to write.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I don't have any pressing preferences as I've tried to write for all genres. I have no preferences when it comes to length.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
As soon as I see some of the major "trigger words" such as rape/abuse without ANY REAL contribution to the story (such as forced sexual act ending with one of the characters liking it-it's not a romantic gesture), I will kindly let you know that I will not betaread your story. I will accept stories with rape/abuse is when it is integral to a character's development or integral to the story (example of this would be Tyrion's back story about his first love from Game of Thrones).
