Like it really depends on how much you trust your beta and how well you communicate? If it's more of a collaborative process or not? Like, if you're a writer with a specific vision and aren't looking for development help then a beta that comes in and goes "I think you need to change the story" is being rude. Especially since this isn't English class and you aren't doing it for a grade.

If you're looking for ideas and want that type of help or have multiple ideas and need to figure out a way to go, then having a beta to ramble at with and be collaborative is a godsend. It requires a good relationship and a lot of trust.

So, I don't think the beta part of your statement is 100% accurate. Maybe the bit about personal fic editing? It would be rude to post that edited fic. Which I don't think anyone who has posted about personally editing fics has ever admitted to doing.

Because I do agree, writing fanfic in a way is editing a canon to make it more enjoyable for us and filling a need the canon left vacant. Some take it further than others. I know some/most fic writers wouldn't see it in that light at all.
