Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Warning: I am a geek. By asking me to beta read, you agree to put up with said geekiness. Wow, this profile is way overdue for an update. If you're here, I'm guessing it's because you like some of my stuff (probably a Tekken story) and think I'm competent enough to help you out. Thanks for that! I've gotten better at basic grammar and punctuation, and though my own writing could use a lot of improvement, college courses have made me pretty good at editing other people's work. If asking me to beta, I expect you will use the beta system here on fanfiction, where you send me the document through the publishing phase. Makes things a lot easier. I also hope you'll let me know what exactly you would like me to keep an eye out for, what you're having second thoughts about and anything else you think is important. I'm here to help you, so don't feel bad for asking! Also, because you're asking for my input, I expect that you will be able to stomach some constructive criticism. Of course, you can disagree with my suggestions, but please take them into careful consideration and be mature about articulating feelings. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I think zany, random humor is where my "talent" (for lack of other word) lies. However, I am good at ironing out plots and can help to bounce some ideas around. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
As a writer, I rush! I cringe when I look at my stuff from earlier times, and wish that I had taken more time to proofread. Everything tends to be concise and to the point, too much telling and not enough showing. I'm working hard to try to polish my own style. As a beta reader, I've had a hard time pointing out exactly how to fix things in the past, but I've gotten better recently! That said if I say something that doesn't make any sense, just ask and I'll try to explain it a little more thoroughly. |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I love a good comedy. Something light-hearted and enjoyable that can bring a smile to someone's face. I also enjoy adventure stories and mysteries (Although I think those involve a LOT of politics). Tragedies, though extremely hard to pull off, can also be endearing. I've only proven to be really popular in the first category, but I'm better at editing than writing at this point, so give me a chance! |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I don't think I would be any good at contributing to a story centered on drama or romance. I like reading them, but I haven't really tried my hand at any of those, and am therefore not very confident in my ability to edit them. However, if you have any reason to think I might be able to help you (i.e. You only want a few opinions on how the characters are acting/you just want someone to look for spelling/sentence structure errors) then feel free to ask. I'm also not one for hardcore yaoi or yuri. Fluff I don't mind so much. |
