Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I like to read peoples stuff. It’s fun, it’s good, but if I get bored, or the story isn’t going anywhere I’ll ‘drop it like it’s hot’. I like to get involved with the story, and I'd like to discuss your plots and your characters with you. Plus, I’m as full of praise as I am of criticism. If something doesn’t work, I’ll tell you, and give you advice on how to fix it. If something does, I’ll be all over it with starry eyes and what not. If you're going to contact me just leave a PM. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Picking up other peoples spelling mistakes, general grammar and punctuation, characterization, plot holes, dialog, pop culture referances, imagrey... I should also be prompt in getting the work back to you. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Complicated grammar and punctuation. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I will really only read slash or general stories. I love excessive humor or angst. Depression, violence, rape, suicide etc, do not bother me. I also love a good supernatural fiction. I ADORE deeply developed characters, and plots that actually go somewhere |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
No. Mills & Boons with bloodsucking freaks. In other words, ‘Twilight’ rewritten. No het or femmslash. No overdone cliché’s, they piss me off. |
