Re: Frustrating beta

(Anonymous) 2019-05-19 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You're both right.

If you've tried everything and you're not having fun, then maybe you should quit.

You haven't tried everything though. You haven't tried finding a new beta. Boot this one and get another. Just like you're not entitled to have someone be your beta, no one is entitled to be your beta and be the final say on your fanworks, either.

IMO, nothing in fic needs a good reason to be "allowed," but things have to have internal sense and consistency. The most absurd things can make sense and have internal consistency if the right context is added or created around it. If a writer can't recognize that, they probably weren't making a good beta to begin with.
