How about a place to offer/find a beta? Either on a semi-permanent basis or just fic-by-fic basis? That sounds good, ill set that up in the fanfiction section | |

Actually...yeah. LOL It is, sometimes. It's also the tested version of a program or something before the 'official' version is released.
In the context of fanfiction, though, we mean someone who is like an editor. Kinda. They'll look over your fiction, check for spelling, grammar, format, yadda. They don't change anything like plot or characterizations or whatever. They might make suggestions concerning those things, but ultimately that's left up to the writer. | |

Thanks for clearing that up for me! I wouldn't mind doing that I guess. If anyone needs it that is. | |
