Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
If you are searching for someone who can give you a detailed analysis of your writing, I may be able to help. I am big on characterization and plot flow, so I will carefully look at your writing to give you another person's angle of it. Please be patient, I am nitpicky about grammar details. If I come off as strict, please forgive me. However, if you cannot take detailed constructive criticism, please do not request me for beta.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Spelling, vocabulary and grammar are strong points for me, and I can help a lot with those. I can also tell when a story is flowing nicely if I can visualize it without problem. I won't hesitate to bring something that doesn't make logical sense to your attention, or if characterization feels off.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have a habit of using commas and linking sentences a lot in my writing, so if I attempt to place them where they don't make sense to you, please call me out on it. Also, due to my schedule and other distractions, I might not be the quickest in getting back to you. Oh yeah, another thing: I suck at humor.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I'm open to all types generally, but especially plot-ridden stories. Adventure, angst, a little sprinkled romance and drama, that sort of thing mostly. Oneshots are fine too! I would also like to stay within the realms of fandoms I know best, this way I can be the most use to you.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Gore and romance are fine as long as they're not the central focus of a story. I prefer to stay away from explicit yaoi or yuri, they make me uncomfortable and the characters are often OOC. However, if it's only hinted or slight, it's alright. About OC's, I'm not completely against them, but I would prefer a story where they're not central characters. However, as long as they're well written and believable (which I can help you with), I don't mind.
