Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Requirements:br /br /br / br /br / br / 1. Please do not send me anything without reading everything on this page! Thank you!~br /br / br / br /br / br / 2. Please have English as your main/second language. (Sorry everyone else! I'd love to help, but editing broken English is too time-consuming for me. D:)br /br / br / br /br / br / 3. Please use proper English - no textspeak (it's just not fun to beta textspeak x:) br /br / br / br /br / br / I will usually leave a paragraph at the end of your work to tell you what I think you struggled with and what I think you did exceptionally well. This just works as an overview that can help you (hopefully) on future works.br /br / br / br /br / br / Apologies, but I am also in school right now and I have a lot of things on my plate, so I might not be able to help ASAP. I try my best, though. c: My best best best. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Picking out odd phrasing, creating better sentence flow, OOC-ness, the synopsis of the story, grammar, spelling, punctuation, staying true to someone's style, description, making things sound poetic ^-^ |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Plot is usually difficult for me - as it's something I struggle with as a writer myself. I also am not very funny so... yeah. Humor is not a strength. :DDbr /br /br / br /br / br / And apparently I can be a bit of a tough critic. D: I don't mean to be, but I guess it just comes out. Beating around the bush is... meh. I don't like to; I just want to get straight to the point. So I guess that's the reasoning for that. x: |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I really like something that has bits of philosophy, irony, symbolism, angst, romance, and/or hidden motives mixed into it. Those are always interesting for me to read (ohmigosh they are love), but those are not the only types of stories that I'll be willing to edit. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I would prefer not to have you request mid-storyline. So if you're working on chapter 6 and I haven't been your beta reader since you began writing the story, then I'm probably not your best pick... y'know, it's just a hassle for me and for you who receives my very confused questions amongst my suggestions ("Did this-and-this happen before? Well, if this-and-this happened before this moment, then I think you should change this so it's like so-and-so. ButIdunnoforsuresorry.") I might make an exception if you're not too far along with your story.br /br /br / br /br / br / Umm, I'm really sorry if this affects you but... behold, I prefer not to edit stories with OCs. X_X It's just that this is sort of confusing for me. I have to digest what this new character is like and it may take a while and yaddayaddawhohahee. It's just a hassle.br /br / br / br /br / br / Thanks for reading!~ |
