Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hello! Well, I would say that I am a very thorough beta reader, and I will read it through at least three times to make sure I did not skip anything. I also will go through and make suggestions on how to make your paragraphs flow. If I am in hiatus and am already betaing your story, I will continue, but I absolutely will not take new requests until the hiatus message is taken down. Sorry :(. If there is something you wish me to do or not do, make it clear when you ask for my help. For example, if you just want me to check for grammatical and spelling errors but not give suggestions, just tell me. But I will quit being your Beta if you yell at me for changing something. Not cool. I also will be friendly with you and not reply with one word answers.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I have been told by many people that I am good at making the writing seem like it is other people's point of view. I try to add in comments that I can see them saying and have them think thoughts that the reader can hear to make it seem like they are knowledgeable of the reader being there. Take in example a quote from one of my stories, Stuck in Between. "Some would say it was impulse driven. Others would call it stupidity." Percy Jackson. He did not actually say the words out loud, just thought them. I also am good at adding creative words and giving constructive feedback.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am pretty good with grammar and spelling, but it is not my strongest ability. Don't get me wrong, I know how to spell, other wise I would not be a writer or a Beta, but I am a Beta and I am human and will make mistakes, I apologize before hand. I may be late getting it back to you because I have a habit of reading the story, then going back through and editing. But it will all be worth it in the end.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I am really fine with all stories, except for ones where people don't know how to capitalize or have an spelling error every third word. I know that is the purpose of having a Beta, but I wish that you would hit the spellcheck button before handing it over to me.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
