Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am normally lax with my beta-reading. I tend to go heavier on those that I know, because I know them much better and I know that they can handle it when I lose me sense of politeness. But, if asked, I will give my total opinion on everything, not just the watered-down version. My style? I'm confused by what that means, but I tend to focus more on the flow of the words, how they blend, and how they are placed. Being used correctly is pretty important, too. As for expectations, the willingness to write and improve is all that I care about.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I excel in the areas of story flow and word choice, and I'm great at helping straighten out lost plots. Behind that is grammar and writing in different tenses.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I usually have the most trouble with punctuation, but recently, all my problems have been with getting everything beta'd within the time limits I've set for myself. I also have noticed that I sometimes switch tenses - from past to present, generally - when I'm working on a specific story or two.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I prefer any yaoi over just about anything. First and foremost, I prefer Kpop. I also enjoy the Eragon, Warriors (the cat books by Erin Hunter), Maximum Ride, Nora, Naruto, Code Lyoko, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. But I never stop reading, and the best way to figure out if I like the series and pairing is to ask me - I don't bite... hard. I do reply to the messages people send me. And I do reply to reviews, if you wish use those to contact me instead.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Some pairings just aren't my cup o' tea. I guess you'd just have to ask whether I read those pairings or not. If I have read them and currently do, I will say so. If I haven't read them, but think it is interesting, I'll read into it and reply back. If it's a solid no all around, I'll tell you.
