Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I tend to read things very carefully. What I consider very, very important are the characters. I like 'em deep! Real deep. One might say that's my specialty. Especially when writing stories with original characters, I think I could really help you out. I also look at the actual plot of the story a lot. "Where is it going?" and "How do I get there" and "Where do I go from there?" are three things I always ask myself, whether I'm writing or reading. I discover plot holes very easily, as I only wish to bèta-read for fandoms that interest me immensely! I am not a harsh person, and if i think something could be improved upon, I shall always tell you in a tactful manner. I am quite the critic, though, so unless your story is perfect, I might just have to say a lot about how to 'improve'. I also won't set deadlines of any sorts, a writer should know when he writes and what he writes. It's his decision after all. It has to stay fun.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Character development, OC's especially Deep, immersing and detailed plots Action scenes! Love to write them, love to read them!
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I would love to tell you I am romantic and so on and so forth. Unfortunately, I'm not. I'm afraid my ability to give justified criticism on a romantic/fluff story is not nearly as good as I would want it to be. But I'm working on it!
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Character-driven stories are always welcome. I don't mind loads of conversation. But I also love lots of action scenes... It really doesn't matter a lot...
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Fluff. I like to read it mind you, I love it even, but I wouldn't be a really good beta-reader if your story is complete fluff. I wouldn't mind trying, though, but I don't think it'd be in your best interest.
