Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm a reader who pays special attention to how things are said, what things are said, and how well they all work together. I revise for grammar, spelling, story composition, and story content.

I tend to favor action, adventure, or young adult stories, and I will take fiction over poetry nine days out of ten.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Strengths are as follows:
- Story's Rhythm - Readers gain a natural rhythm to reading, and certain bits of information will cause the reader to slow or even stop entirely. I read for this, and can offer advice to help the rhythm along.
- Characters - I keep an eye on characters, watch for discrepancies in a character or position.
- Spelling/Grammar - I revise for grammar and spelling.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Weaknesses:
- Poetry - I hold a fairly large expectation for poetry which makes it to where I cannot critique it correctly. I will, but it's likely going to be minor comments on rhythm or descriptors.
- Romance - I've read far too many romance stories that are screenplays for Lifetime Original Movies, so I tend to naturally critique harder on romance stories or poems.
- Angst / Emo - It's a mindset and a style that drives me up the wall. I will be harsh on these stories from a natural dislike of the community. Apologies in advance.
- Symbolism - Overtly symbolic pieces often do more harm than good for expanding on a symbol. To be symbolic on a massive scale usually calls for vagueness which tends to leave me in the dark grasping at more. This will either leave me disappointed by the end of the read, or angry. Avoid vagueness, and this will be avoided completely.
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Any story. The only thing you have to look for is my weaknesses. I will not deny any request, but I am harsher on my weakness aspects.
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
See 'Weaknesses', which I am always working on. If you want to hit me specifically with my weaknesses, I encourage it, as it helps me grow and learn.
