BETA
Name: Olivia
How long have you been a beta for?: Long enough to know that that 'for' is unnecessary. Seriously, though, I've been proofing friends' stories for upwards of a decade now.
What types of stories do you like to beta?: I'm not picky; I'll read slash, het and gen of any genre. I like pieces that are character-driven, but I won't turn up my nose at plot-heavy works.
What types of stories will you not beta?: Chan and Mpreg are the only things that spring immediately to mind.
Your strengths as a beta are: I am very good at noticing and fixing grammatical errors. In general, I'm also a tough, thorough reader, and I am not afraid to give honest criticism. I tend to write a lot of comments, most of them constructive rather than complimentary.
Anything else about yourself: I will try to get stories back to you within 48 hours, but sometimes my schedule will interfere. Let me know how soon you need something back and I am certain that we will be able to work something out. I am also happy to listen to general ideas and help with story development.
In general, I'm looking for writing buddies. :)
