maderr*When you don't particularly care whether they get to the story soon or not, the betas are handy and more than willing to beta.
*When you are twitchy and checking your mail every 5seconds minutes, they are nowhere to be found.

Date: 2005-10-31 02:59 am (UTC)Tsaiko: Here's the story!
Beta: It's great!
Tsaiko: No typos? No plotholes? No sentence fragments? Everything great?
Beta: It's fine!
*puts story up. Three weeks later she finds 20 typos, a plothole, and that she mispelled the main characters at one point*
Tsaiko: I thought you said it was fine?
Beta: I got so involved in the plot I didn't notice the typos.
Tsaiko: -_-
The more people who look at my stories, the happier I am. Everyone can't mis s the typos.

Date: 2005-10-31 10:31 am (UTC)Sounds skippy to me. I totally did not want to get upthis morning.
Also, it does make me laugh when you say something is wrong but aren't quite sure how to fix it. You always sound more stressed about than me ^^
no subject
Date: 2005-10-31 10:36 am (UTC)Ehehe. ^^; Can't help it, I can be quite perfectionist when it suits me? And also it annoys me when I can't phrase a sentence in a way that flows, regardless of whose work I'm looking at. If it's my own stuff I get even twitchier. >_>;;
no subject
Date: 2005-10-31 10:44 am (UTC)Heh. If you don't like the flow of a sentence, you can always just say "there's no flow. scrap it and redo." Trust me, that wouldn't bother me at all. Lord knows I fudge sentences all the time for one reason or another.

Date: 2005-10-31 10:49 am (UTC)Lol. True. And generally I just scrap the sentence at that point.

...I think there are twins or siblings involved. SHOOT ME.

Re: To expound upon the point
