Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm beta reading for two authors at the minute, but during the summer I have time to do more. I do it over the Doc X exchange system on here. Whilst betaing, I do tend to move sentences, and perhaps replace words with similar ones, but I won't change the overall meaning of the sentence
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm honest when it comes to out of character-ness. If I think you're chatacter is acting differently to how they would on the show, I'll tell you that. In certain shows, I like to think I know what certain characters would and wouldn't say. I think it's always good to have a second pair of eyes reading something, to tell you if something doesn't read right. My grammar is good, as is my punctuation, and I'm told I can phrase things well.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My spelling isn't great, but I know my way around a spellchecker, so hopefully that isn't too big a problem. I may come across as hypocritical at times, because a lot of my older stories contain a lot of plot elements that I now don't paticularly like. I find it hard to successfully write a strong beginning and conclusion to my fics, and if you need help in that respect, I'm probably not the person to come to.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
At the minute, I'm writing nothing but Peter/Olivia based Fringe fanfiction, and I could probably still beta for the bill, because I used to write and read so much from that section. Hurt/Comfort and Angst are mostly my thing, but I don't mind a lot of other genres, as long as it is true to the characters
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Nothing M rated. I'll read it, but I'm not good enough at writing it for me to be any use as a beta. I don't dislike poetry, but I wouldn't recommend sending one to me because I have next to no experience in them.
