Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
If I think something is good, then I'll say it, but if your story needs work, I'll say that too. I'm not going to say, "OMG, SO GOOD!" when your characters are bland or completely and are OOC for no reason (if they're sleepy or drugged up, and it's for humourous reasons, then fine, they can be out of character, but otherwise, NO). If you tYpe lYk dIS aNd Ur chArAcTeRs aLLwYs TAK IN CAPS LOCKK LYK DISS! and it's not for creative reasons, then I won't even bother reading it.I give constructive criticism. I'll critique and give suggestions, on the assumption that you want to improve your writing. I'm no pro, but I do understand a little about writing, so I do have some advice worth taking. I'm honest. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Grammar! And some spelling. I'm good at that.Depending on the TV show or book or anime, I'm also pretty good and guessing what actions make sense for characters. If someone seems a little out of character, I can usually pick it up. br / I can keep track of continuity pretty well (i.e. I notice when an event seems really random or something doesn't flow well in a story).br / br / Also, I can be objective about strange, random pairings, if a plausible, characteristic reason has been given as to WHY they are together. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm still in school, so I'm a little busy, and I'll probably take a couple days to edit what you send to me.I also write long, ranty fics, so I pay extra attention to details and backstories; this may or may not be a problem. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Comedy, adventure and romance are what I prefer. But I like just about everything.I also prefer fics that are relatively canon (in other words, they MIGHT actually happen to those characters, within the timeline). |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I have this long-standing problem with OCs and Mary Sues. I'm ok with original characters, as long as they make sense! In my opinion, Mary Sues are original characters that make NO sense, whatsoever. So please, make sure you have OCs, not Mary Sues.I would also prefer not to beta crack fics. You know the kind... |
