Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hello, I love reading (I'm sure everyone here does XD) and believe I have much to offer for your stories. I am not very straightforward so if you would like everything I have to critique, please tell me. I'll focus on pacing, dialogue theme and characters. If you are looking for me to critique something specific, please just tell me! Please have appropriate grammar and spelling (I don't mind made up words as long as they make sense) and make sure the work you wish for me to beta-read is a work that you are very proud of!
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am good at writing dialogue and have a good grasp of characters. If you are hoping to write your characters as un-OOC as possible, I would be a great beta-reader for your story!
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Finding themes and controlling pacing is my weak spot. I tend to be too submersed in the story to realize the theme that the story conveys before finishing it and realizing that it was too late. So if you would like help with finding the theme, I will gladly try but I am not the best at it.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I LOVE angst stuff for some unknown reason and also fantasy is very much to my taste too. Adventure is very fun to read too in my opinion and is a great way to show character and theme arcs. I like to be intellectually challenged too so if you have any crime stuff send 'em this way! (P.S. I LOVE historical fiction as well since I'm a major history geek)
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I'm less into "daily" stuff and monotonous fluff. Any genre lacking conflicts will not be my cup of tea but really aside from that, I'm fine with everything else. Also, OC's are fine if they are a side character but if they are the lead love interest or something like that with the main characters fighting for them then no thank you.
