Yes, this.

I'm the dedicated beta of an absolutely wonderful writer; I'm a professional editor and copy writer IRL and she's got a job unrelated to writing. We have a great friendship and fic producing relationship. She trusts me and I trust her. But when I write something, I know she's going to be useless to me as a beta. I'll talk to her about story ideas, and maybe ask her to cheerlead me if I need a boost, but I have to range far afield to find a beta for myself. However, she's been a beta for another writer in the past, and part of why I became her beta in the first place was that that original writer tried to beta a fic for her and it was a total disaster.

It's just so rarely reciprocal. I've had good co-writers, but we've agreed to bring in a third for beta. And after a couple decades in fandom, I'm pretty confident when I say that my favorite, best, and finest fandom contributions are as a beta and editor, not as a writer. I'm always looking for someone who wants to collaborate.

Anyway, NNF OP, there are fandom communities dedicated to helping betas and writers find each other. And sometimes you can find a great beta if you sign up for a fest, and there's a beta request post. (That's how me and my writer friend got matched up!) Just keep your eyes open.
