2nd Meme - Day 24 – Betaing – How many betas do you like to use to make sure there aren't any major flaws in your fic? Do you have a Beta horror story or dream story?

I don't tend to get my fics beta-ed. Mostly because they tend to be, at maximum, 2000 words and I ought to be able to get that much done properly myself. Especially at the speed I write.

There are exceptions, of course. For instance, for A Short Week of Long Days I'd been writing it for 6-7 years and so could recite chunks of it in my sleep almost so there was no way I was going to be able to tell if it even worked for someone who wasn't me, and opera142 was kind enough to beta it for me.

And if I'm doing a fest/ficathon where they ask for the fics to be beta-ed I try to get one. I've never had a bad experience. The Time Between wouldn't have been half as good without renata_kedavra's fantastic beta-ing.

TNA

I really shouldn't bitch about the past couple of weeks because at least the problem is that they're being too ambitious with the stories they're trying to tell. Unfortunately they're trying to tell 10 stories in the time you need to tell 5 well. I suspect that it's because they're still getting used to how to split their stories over the live shows. The problem is that it makes it quite choppy. And leads to some people being forgotten in the middle of everything. Although at least it's not the Knockouts being forgotten.

And they've suddenly remembered the X-Division.

Not spoilery, but I love me some Bad Influence.

Also, dear lord, along with the eyes that do not sleep, Jeff Hardy is now wearing blood red contacts.
