Fandoms in general have a really low threshold for quality. There are BNFs in my fandoms that I wouldn't read if you paid me because their writing is atrocious (not always in terms of skill but OOC to the max because they want to write porn instead of the characters). At least for me, I judge my fic not based on how many people read it but on *who* reads it. If other fanfic writers that I respect give me kudos/comments, I'm in review heaven :)

But... yeah, sometimes the revision process is where things really get good, although I generally try to super revise before giving to a beta. For me, a beta reader is the very last step before publication.

... and then there are "alphas"

I agree with your last comment, but there are times I've had betas who are willing to be more "alphas" - meaning, I give them very rough stuff just to see if the general skeleton of the plot is working. ~ because to me if the plot progression or the characterizations or the motivations are crap, I'm not ready to start draping on pretty sentences.
