I think in formal reviews, betas should stick to talking about the finished product. It's just tacky to consider a review of the unfinished product to be worth anything at all. People are going to be reading the finished product and are going to want reviews about that. Talking about it elsewhere may or may not be in poor taste, depending, but it's more acceptable than bringing it up in something that should stick to the finished product.

As for the other question, it's really up to the author. If they don't want their betas to talk about it before it's made public, then the betas should respect that and not talk about it. It doesn't matter if it's fanfic or a published work - the author should always have the final say on whether or not information about the work can be made public before the work itself.

ayrt

That's a very good point re: pre-release reviews. The author's preferences should be paramount.

On that same point, however, I wonder whether I'm making a mountain out of a molehill in this case, as this particular author's preference doesn't seem to preclude a reviewer mentioning draft errors.

Regardless of the particular situation, it's still a valid question/concern. I feel that tact and common courtesy are dying out, so anything that reminds people how not to behave like complete asses is a plus in my book.
