Re: Beta for Fanfiction

Imx the best bet is to ask for a beta on the comm you intend to post your fic to when it's done (you might need to check with the mods if this is okay). Unfortunately finding someone who does what you need them to do is a bit of a crapshoot.

I've used betas sometimes, but I've not done so in the last year or so because I'm very much on a writing-solely-for-me kick. (this is due to one of those serious semi-traumatic upheaval things last year, and the FUCK YOU ALL I'M GONNA HIDE UNDER A ROCK AND WRITE TERRIBLE IDFICS hasn't worn off yet.) As I found when I line-edited all the fic contributions to a fanbook a couple of months ago, some people are much better at self-betaing than others. I've been doing beta reading for other people longer than I've been writing so I believe that I am one of them. I certainly can't guarantee that if I did take up a beta on a crapshoot request like I just suggested you do, they'd be better at it than I am myself. Mostly, I just run things past people I know and trust if I want a second opinion before posting. Fic is not a very high-stakes activity so I don't feel too bad about just going over my own work and trusting my own judgement.
