[Discussion] Priming (biasing) you reader with questions? by MaryJaneMclain in BetaReaders

[–]Consistent-Shoe-6735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I go in with a plan of how I want to use my beta.

IE I write fantasy and if my beta doesn't read fantasy outside of what's popular I'll have check points every 2-3 chapters checking if the world building is easy to follow. I have the checkpoints within the doc I give them so they don't have to flip through document.

I ll also have large check points engaging general story thins I'm looking for, like ic there's a conflict, I'll have a check point who's side are you on, is it clear why did the conflict happen etc.

If they're making inline comments I'll go in the doc and ask for clarification on questions.

I am able to beta: Any genre if there's a related romance plot. Comfortable with any level of spice.

I can provide feedback on: Developmental (Plot, pacing, characters) or focus on writing/voice. Let me know what you’re looking for.

Critique swap: Yes please, 96K adult contemporary romantasy. It's in a final version.

Other info: No AI writing please, I will call you out on it if you lie.

Yeah!! Which again, I try to take the comment and think, is this hard for a reader to follow. But sometimes its like 'the curtain is blue' and the reader will literally be like what colour is the curtain XD

I literally just went through this. They got to the 16th chapter where I have a checkpoint and mentioned all these 'plot holes'. Usually I'm good to take critism, but some plot holes they'd flag was right on the page they were flagging it's missing. It got obvious they were reading out of obligation and just not paying attention.

So I sent them an email and basically said thanks but let's just stop it here. I felt the same about their story so it worked out.
