Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

(LJ's still lagging here and there, good luck.)

If none of the writers in your fandom are much better than unintentional badfic level, why did you ask them for beta help? You had to have known no one who offered would be acceptable to you.

when i asked for help originally, i hadn't yet gone through to read the ff... it wasn't until i asked for betas, who pointed me to their work, that i started to read. (i like to write for myself first, before i read fanfic, that way i'm not influenced by what others have written.)

also i figured that people who offered to beta would at least have the basic skills to do so. any other fandom that i have written for there have been mostly amazing writers, so maybe my expectations were too high?
