While I've never had much trouble finding a beta, regardless of what fandom I'm writing for, in my most recent fandom, I made the mistake of taking someone up on their offer to beta for me and now I can't get rid of them. They think they're this awesome beta in general and especially for the particular fandom, and yet they're the worst beta I've ever used. Half the suggestions for grammar and punctuation corrections are just plain wrong (ala turning on grammar check through Microsoft Word) and they never EVER give you any feedback on what's written, good, bad, or indifferent. No suggestions for improvement, no mention of whether characterization is good or a little off or even way off, nothing regarding plot plausibility. Nothing. Not even when you specifically ask for it.

I'd drop them in a heartbeat if it weren't for the butthurt factor and the inevitable tearful whining.

If they're that bad, just cut ties. Is it really that hard? Jeez.
