Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hey! I've decided to try beta reading, I'm no stranger to this, I'm on my school editorial board and have published some stories with scholastic, so you don't have to worry. I am really not the kind of person who sugar coats stuff, so I may be really harsh with corrective criticism, but it's just so you get better! First off, I am a stickler for correct grammar and secondly, a good plot. It doesn't matter how amazing an author you are if the plot falls apart, and writing isn't for everyone so it's important to put you're best work forward (which I'll help you with) since anyone from anywhere around the world could be reading this, and it's just so much more pressure with fanfiction since we're writing about characters that people have already fallen in love with, so a bad fanfiction, beware, the fangirls are out to get you! That's pretty much it. So, bye and all the best with your story!
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
My grammar is pretty articulate and although I may struggle with the spellings of certain words (who doesn't) but we have auto check for that,so you're in safe hands! Secondly, sentence formation is a very important topic and I'm luckily quite good at it. Finally, I have no problem beta reading a story in first person, second person or third person, I love all styles as long as they're written in a descriptive and well versed manner.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
One problem I face while writing is finishing a story, it's not a problem if I'm reading, but I just feel after a certain point, if the plot dissolves the story gets boring and secondly I hate mushy stuff (I'm not talking about cute fluff, I love that) but OOC behavior which is just plain weird, like making a really strong character appear weak, or the switching of their personality mid way through the story. I understand character development but that doesn't happen in a day, folks!
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I love basically anything you throw at me as long as it has a plot and no non cannon pairing, friendship is okay but when we start shipping a brother and sister like that, it gets weird. I love stories with a little bit of everything, but I'm a total romantic at heart. I can also beta heavier topics. But, I can only beta fanfics based on books I've read. (Please refer to my profile for the list)
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I would rather not beta read very detailed smut scenes, but otherwise I'm good with everything!
