Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
First of all, I absolutely adore reading. I become attached to stories and characters. I'll cry if they die and I'll get giddy if they do something cool. I enjoy doing critical reading. I might make some harsh comments but that's just who I am. Don't feel offended if my comments aren't on the nice side. Extremely nice comments are extremedy hard to come by from me. But if you get one you should feel extremely honored. I am not afraid to share my true feelings, especially when it comes to reading stories written by others. If a story I am reading does not catch my attention within the first few chapters, I will not read it. That is just how I am. Again, don't feel offended by my comments. That is all I really have to say.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am good at noticing grammatical errors and spelling errors. If a word is spelt wrong, I can usually correct it in my mind. If there is a problem with autocorrect, I can most of the time figure out the real word. I can read pretty fast. I don't know what else to put.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Unfortunately, I have a minor case of dyslexia. Sometimes when I read a word, my mind replaces it with another word that is somewhat like that word but it might have a completely different meaning. So something could say "Sally goes to the North Pole" and I might see "Sally goes to the Northern Palace" it's weird, I know. I am not proud of this. But I usually figure out what a word really is. I have taught myself how to recognize when something is wrong. I also sometimes read ahead. It annoys me so much. I have gotten better about it, but it still happens occasionally. Sometimes I read too fast and I miss importants things and become confused later on. I hate all of these things.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I enjoy reading stories that have an immediate climax. For example, I enjoy reading stories relating to the Hunger Games. They always begin with the reaping which is a major attention grabber. And warning you now, of the story is not interesting in the first three chapters, I will not continue to read it. I like reading stories of pretty much any genre. I like dark, suspenseful stories a lot but I also like happy-go-lucky stories too. it all depends on how the story begins.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Stories based on movies that are based on books. Those just annoy me. I won't read them. No matter what. Of you didnt care to read the book, then why are you writing one about a movie based on a book? That's my only problem on that part.
