Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Heya everyone! Ok, I'm the girl who will check your grammar and spelling, and I'll probably give you about a million diferent synonyms to choose from if I think you've overused a word too many times. I will give constructive criticism, but I won't be too blunt because sometimes bluntness can really bring a writer down (speaking from past experiences here), but that doesn't mean I won't hesitate to point something out if it isn't right. I don't mind slow updates, because my own speed of updating varies, and I understand that it's just something that can't be helped most of the time. :) I like to keep as much of the original story as I can, so I won't change too much, but I will offer pointers and alternative ideas. If you want to take my advice, then be my guest. I don't mind if you do or don't, it's your fanfiction. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
- I've been told that I have very good grammar. - I'm pretty flexible when it comes to themes. I can go from angst to fluff pretty easily, although my main strengths are romance and hurt/comfort, most of the time those two themes combined together. - I'm better suited to yaoi pairings rather than heterosexual pairings. Sure, I can easily do either, but I prefer to write and read homosexual pairings that are male/male. - I'm pretty good at writing intimate scenes. Not porn without plot, but rather an intimate scene that is censored enough to keep within the 'T' or 'M' rating. Now I love a good smut fic as much as the next person, but there's a difference between 'making love' and 'screwing like minks', y'know? - My brand of humour is mostly sarcasm and one-liners. Mainly sarcasm, though. XD |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
- I can't do parodies or crack fics to save my life. - I'm too nice sometimes. Seriously, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by insulting their work, but then again I wouldn't be a good Beta if I was constantly putting you down, would I? |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
- I love a good romance story. And hurt/comfort is pretty much a favourite of mine too, closely followed by humour. In fact, dark themes, light themes, whatever, I like them all! - I like oneshots, songfics and multi-chaptered fics all the same. - A well thought-out plot that's original and interesting. - Long fanfics. The higher the word count, the happier I am! :) - Believable romance/relationships. Something that happens over time, not jumping straight into it in the very first chapter. - I like a bit of violence too. Fights, death scenes, blood and gore, stuff like that. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
- I'm not too keen on drabbles. I like to read something that's longer than a thousand words, please. - Clichés. Give me some originality and I'll love you forever. - Original characters that are Mary Sues. I really can't stand those. If you're going to give me OCs, give them flaws and make them interesting and believable. Perfect Mary Sue characters bore me very quickly. - Characters who are way out of character. I mean, sometimes they need to be a tiny bit OOC for some plots to work, but don't go to extremes. - Porn without plot. |
