Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
College kid. Will get stories back within a few days. I'll give you my AIM, Facebook, and GMail so you can make sure I know that you need it ASAP.
Will take a good chunk of time to read it. Adding my own comments in bold/itallics. Anything corrected will be told, and why. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Syntax, diction, and flow. Plot elements a plus (non-obvious foreshadowing, etc etc etc). Great eye for grammar/spelling.
I've beta'd a few times for Mithmualin's Experiment Number 9: Red and Black. She's getting it published it now.
I also read a few chapters of Angel of Caffeine back in its hayday.
I'm an old FictionPress fart. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Unfortunately, if I am not interested in the story or a certain part, I don't give it the critical eye that I need to. I am working to fix this. And I will make sure to read it especially if I'm beta'ing for you. I also promise to tell if you a certain part/paragraph didn't interest me or work for me and I'll tell you why I feel like it didn't. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Slash. Romance-oriented. Realistic stories. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Too far-fetched sci-fi/fantasy elements. A bit of the para-normal is fine. Anything not-preferred. |
