Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I've been reading on this site for a while and reviewing almost as long. I'm a much better reviewer than writer, if only because I have boring straightforward plots and problems with /br /br /br / br /br / br / My beta style is to read stories as usual and take note of anything that stood out to me from grammar/spelling/punctuation issues to continuity and logic issues. You can ask me to pay specific attention to something if you /br /br / br / br /br / br / As when I review, I try to be nice about it while still giving you something to work with. I know we're all trying to become better writers here, not hurt feelings. 8D |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
-I think my best ability is spotting awkward word choices and "thesaurus-sounding" phrases. I can even help you reword /br /br /br / br /br / br / -Spelling and grammar mistakes leap out at /br /br / br / br /br / br / -I can suggest reformatting and ideas about logical /br /br / br / br /br / br / -I can also help with parallel structure and /br /br / br / br /br / br / -I know humor is subjective, but I'm comfortable with writing, critiquing, or refining all shapes and sizes of it. I have a pretty wide sense of humor and just enjoy it overall. :D |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
-I'm not a perfectionist. This doesn't mean I am less thorough in my beta-ing, but I'm not nitpicky about people's "mistakes" if I think they add to the charm or ambience of the overall piece. There IS such a thing as overworking stories! I have a flash disk full of proof. brbr /br /br / br /br / br / -Aha, plots. I can spot cliches for you, but I can't help you come up with something /br / br / br /br / br / -Apparently, formatting. omg...how do you do a simple line break? |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I will beta ANYTHING in the categories I've chosen, including categories from my favorite stories list. PM me if it's not in my preferences. I would just consider it frosting if I got to read through a oneshot, humorous story, adventure, or romance. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I can't really read through gory/bloody/slasher type things. As long as it's not too graphic, I can beta for you. |
