(Anonymous) 2020-10-13 09:29 am (UTC)(link)No. Beta's do not have to be paid. Fanfiction is not a legit business, nor should it be. It's a hobby and an interest/obsession between a sometimes not so common community who all benefit off of the communities interaction, conversations, and contributions, said community could not live without. This goes double with fanfic. The prospect that personal and self interacting interests have been commercialized is the ultimate form of pathetic to me. The ultimate for of wrong, tbh.
Betas mean basically nothing to most people depending on the fandom, no reader really cares if you have one, and the interpretation that they should be some sort of mandatory device is the most pretentious thing I've ever heard.
To some they're just friendly spell/grammar checkers. Others, they're so self-important they decide that they have right to use the author as their own writing device.
Like fuck you guys, writers who don't get paid don't need to pay some entitled asshole to check over and point out some flaws (that the writer could even do themselves most of the time) for some disgustingly delusional fans who don't actually deserve the content they demand.
