Beta Reading & You

I found one interesting article when I'm browsing the internet for a beta myself. Anway, you all know who beta-reader is right. It someone who is there to proofreading your story before you publish them to the public. As fanfic author, this is an advantage. If you get a really good beta, they can really help you point out some weakness in your stories like grammar, plot and more.

This article cover all there is about the beta-reader, bute there are more. One thing this article caught my interest is how you as writer interact to beta-reader and vise verse. I thought I just share it for my fan to read. This is a copy of the article. You can read the article from the link below.

Part 1: fanfic101.com/art-betareading01.htm Part 2: fanfic101.com/art-betareading02.htm

As a writer/ author

Be clear as to what you're looking for--over-all general thoughts of the plot or characterization, or do you want line edits for spelling, grammar, and punctuation, or do you want it all? If you have questions about certain parts, don't mention them before the reader reads it--that may prejudice them. Ask after the fact, so they can give you their honest reaction. Be clear about your experience as a writer; is this your first ever fic, your first fic in this fandom, or are you an experienced writer? Be clear about how you'd like to receive your beta comments and corrections back--do you want the beta to mark up what you sent so you can compare it to the original and make corrections there? Or do you want the beta to make a list in a return e-mail or on a separate document?

This is one of the places my beta read of this person's fanfic got me into trouble--I am an active romance writer, therefore I judge contests and perform critiques for my fellow writers. I was taught to go paragraph by paragraph, highlighting the issue needing a fix (but not fixing it), and then to comment about it right under the paragraph and change the font color to blue so it's easier to differentiate from the text of the story itself. When us romance writers get back a contest entry or critique--we compare documents and make changes in our original or working version. Anyhow, this is also how I received a beta read back from another gal I had a look at my work.

You may want to do a trial beta read--just send a chapter and see if the beta reader understands and provides what you're looking for. If not, thank him or her and move on. Please send the best version of your work you have (see the companion article on beta reading). Don't get pissy. It's hard to infer how a person is writing something. Always be polite and refrain from getting into a pissing contest with the person who betaed your work. Even if it wasn't what you wanted, or you disagree, always remember the reader took time out of their life to help you.

As a beta-reader

Make sure you understand what the reader is looking for. You may want to rephrase what the reader has said so that he or she knows you understand what thy want. If you are confused, ask until you're certain. Make sure you provide only what the writer has asked for. If there's other stuff, just mention it, and ask if the writer is interested in additional comments. Make sure you understand how the writer is expecting back your comments/corrections/thoughts. Feel out the reader on his or her sensitivity level; then be as honest as you can, but be tactful. Sometimes that's really hard, so find something positive to comment on and leave it at that. Never hesitate to praise the good stuff, not just mark the bad stuff. If it’s funny, say so. If it’s a clever turn of phrase, say so. If they’ve nailed the characterization, say so. If it’s a great plot idea, say so.
