Re: How do you react to mistakes in fic?

You don't have to apply all the changes your beta suggests. Just the grammatical and spelling ones, if you want. You're the writer. Take control.

Personally, I hate SPAG errors in fics I read with a mighty fury. I notice every single one.

The problem is that they build up. One chapter in, there have been 10 small errors. That's okay, especially if half of them are just typos. I can deal with that. Five chapters in, there have been 60 and my will to continue has gone on.

Also maybe on some level I don't like knowing how many mistakes I make in text.

That sounds like the nub of the issue. You're having fun and you don't want other people to point out your errors, especially if they're right. Unfortunately, without a little pain you're not going to improve.

Thank you, anon! It seems everyone notices errors. I have only a few fics that theoreticaly could be chaptered, though.

Sometimes I think that only a few people're going to read fic in small fandoms anyway, so I don't make an effort to improve my writting. You're right, no pain no gain.
