Question for people who have Beta'd

(Anonymous) 2015-05-21 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you ever beta'd for someone who didn't take your suggestions but thanked you and you felt embarrassed to be associated with the finished work?

Give me your beta horror stories.

I'm starting to be impressed with this one writer's characterization, but I cannot get him to stop using comma splices. Not even cool comma splices--he just stitches sentences together at random. It's pretty frustrating.

Not exactly a beta horror story, but I once did some freebie professional editing on a novel-length original work for a friend-of-a-friend.

By the time I finished with this thing, I was told that the writer's gone ahead and published it anyway, with all the mistakes I'd pointed out (both grammatical and factual) still in place.

So not only did they completely waste my time, all the reviews that subsequently came in for it criticized the very (easily fixed) issues I'd pointed out. Very, very frustrating.
