Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
If you wish to "acquire my services" as your beta reader, I hope that you have already gone through your own piece and fixed all the "teh"s and "adn"s because, ummm, I don't want to. Anyways, as a beta reader I would imagine that I would be much like myself as a normal reader, only with more power (kind of like Super Reader, only I'm well cool and "Super Reader" doesn't really sound cool). I read things at my leisure, but I am not rude and I like to get things done. If I like what you wrote and think it could really be better, I will read it several times because I want to. If I like your work and think it's lovely just the way it is, I'll still read it in multiples because I'll want to even more. Other than that, I don't think there's much to say. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I write poems and I read poems (as well as prose, but whatevs) and I have been told that I'm pretty fantastic at grammar and spelling. But bigger than the fact that I can speak and write English and that I READ is that I ENJOY reading poems a whole lot more than I enjoy a lot of things. So if something's in a poem that I don't enjoy and that I think can be better, I'm gonna tell you.
Also, if you write poems about weird teen angst that I think are pretty much really bad and that the only merit is that someday, maybe, you will improve your poetic skills, I'm REALLY going to tell you. Whoaa. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not a very convincing person when it comes to critiques of things that aren't "wrong" if you know what I mean. Like, you -could- change that... if you wanted to. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I would prefer poems over anything.
Like, anything at all that isn't a poem, do not ask me about, please and thank you. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Bad teen angst, how someone has taken/broken your breath/heart/soul/whatever the heck else, vampires, werewolves, romance with vampires/werewolves (I wouldn't say this because people really shouldn't write poems about it, but they do, so it has to be said), things that are really long and tedious (unless you are looking to make it shorter and less tedious, then, by alllll means), or crap that you don't really care about (neither do I). |
