Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I pick up grammatical errors in all writing except for my own (but I'm not perfect) and I also pick up a lot of out-of-character behavior (like if you character is really nice, but then suddenly acts mean randomly or something like that) and I also can follow really confusing plots so if you think it's is confusing and needs clearing up or just think that it it will appeal to an older audience, I can beta-read for you. I tend to read more long-term storys, aiming for like 20,000 words to 50,000 words, not one-shots or 7,000 word stories and things like that. I also have the most wonderful (not bragging here) colorful vocabulary and I can help if you think you story is lacking vibrant lively words. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Like I said above, I can help with colorful vocabulary, I can help with grammatical stuff (NOT 100% guaranteed however) and I also am good at character development and things like that. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I, unfortunately, tend to write really long sentences. All the time. The problem with this is while they're grammatically correct, they're really long. I also go overboard with adjectives and adverbs at times. I also cannot STAND capitalization stuff. Yeah, I can help grammar, but if you refuse to capitalize each word that is supposed to be capitalized, forget it. Also, I'm very extreme if ya know what I mean. If you don't, it's okay. :D |
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I like third person. First person is...okay, and second person is just stupid (no offense) I also like interesting characters, who doesn't. Er...and...I dunno what else, but yahz. |
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I never was fond of mysteries nor was I fond of really inhumanly humans with just everything perfect and happen to have ALL of the right circumstances to be fantastical and all that. |
