Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm an experienced reader... But tough. Don't give me a story and expect me to say, "It's lovely", and hand it back. I will criticize your work. If you want an idea of my writing/reading level, read some of the stuff I have posted up here. I don't balk at non-traditional love interests, or non-conformist ideas. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good at finding spelling errors and grammar errors, plot holes, and Mary-Sueish characters. This may or may not be a bad thing. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I tend to be overly critical of plotlines that I think are too cliche. They may be good stories, but I just can't stand cliches. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I like original ideas--saving a dragon from a princess, for example. Stuff out of the ordinary. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I don't like love stories. I don't mind stories with love in them, but I'd rather not read works that are soley romance. Also, please try to send me stuff that isn't cliche. That's all I ask. |
