Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I like romances and adventures, and fantasitcal plots that end in some wild, but oh-so-creative ending. I appreciate a full story, and I feel a good way of explaining it is like this...br /br / I want a story that is alive. A story can be a skeleton, just barely brushing over the plotline. A skeleton story has a lot of potential, but isn't exactly a story in itself. Then you can add meat on the bones. Meat details. I love details. A story with meat on the bones is decently detailed and not going so fast that it is over before it begins. An example of this is my story, Enter Five WITCHs, not exceptionally detailed and still moves fast, but has some life to it. Adding skin to the story is good, too. Skin rounds it out and completes it, leaving no loose ends, no confusion that isn't meant to be there, and a story with skin is good. But a story that is alive is better. An alive story talks to you, and you know what is going on due to the authors good explaining. I want to make stories alive. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I can pick out spelling mistakes from a mile away, if I'm not typing it myself. I can help with adding details, and adding meat in the story. See my beta bio if that confuses you. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I stink at grammatical stuff that is anything more than the basics, especially comma splices and run on sentences. I can find them if I look carefully enough, but then I tend to go overboard with the red pen... ask my English peer editing partner... |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Ones with a seriously smart ending, something totally unique that I'd probably never see again. Adventures with a romance to the side are nice. A sweet story of how a guy and a girl find out that they both loved each other. But not too sweet. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Something badly written and with a rottenly overused storyline, sorry if that applies to you. br /br / And on a different note, Kataang makes me angry. Sorry. I'm a Zutara girl. br / br / Mushy gushy overly lovey dovey stuff. Eeeek. br / Slash and Femmeslash. Not my thing. br / Really weird and disgusting pairings. Once again, sorry if that applies to your story. I'm just not interested in seeing another Hermione/Dumbledore. Long story. I'm going to go wash my brain. br / br / In fact, I'll just let you know if your story isn't my cup of tea. Apologies if it isn't. I enjoy reading stories I enjoy. And I can just let you know if I won't enjoy the idea. |
