Re: inspired by 5 - Do you get beta offers from strangers?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not a BNF and I'm pretty good at SPAG and editing my stuff, so I've never gotten any beta offers. In my main fandom, I've got a friend (who is horrible at SPAG but knows the canon backwards and forwards) who gives me a quick read-through to catch any canon errors or plot holes.

The one time I did work with a formal beta, they were matched with me as part of a Big Bang I was working on, and they were horrible. They didn't like the Oxford comma and constantly pointed that out as an "error," and there were some equally odd grammar "rules" that they said I was violating and I should fix, including in the dialogue. Plus they clearly didn't "get" what I was trying to do with the story, and kept making changes that would be more in line with their own vision of it.

Nowadays, if someone asks me if I have a beta, I lie and say yes.
