What are your strengths, what are your weaknesses?
My weaknesses are that I tend to miss tiny bits until after I've sent it to you, when to put colons and semicolons, and in some places where commas should go. My strengths are I'm good with dialogue, introspection, capitalization, and keeping the story true to canon.
How familiar are you with South Park and South Park Fandom? I've seen every episode a minimum of six times.
How regularly can you be available for your Writer? After 3 on weekdays, all day on weekends
Can you be politely forthright with your Writer without sugar coating things?!
Thankfully, yes.
Are you able to graciously accept that your Writer may not take your advice?
Yes.
Are you able to work with a Writer trying an experimental style?
If they want to do something new, I'm game.
Are you willing/able to Beta more than one story?
Yes
How many?
2-3
Would you be available to pinch-hit another story at short notice, should another Beta drop out?
Yes
Finally! Is there anything else you’d like us, and the Writer pool to know about you as a Beta?
I like to be able to beta something a few times and exchange it with you during that time, just so we can discuss the good and the bad and I tend to tweak things that don't sit right here and there- I tell you, of course.
