Friday was a momentous day. After sending out several requests, and not hearing anything back over a few days, I finally received a positive response. I can now announce proudly that:
I have a beta!
To be honest, I'm a little scared. I've never actually had a beta before, so I don't know what the accepted methods of communication and sharing are. Do I send a summary with the piece? Do I provide some sort of heads up notice before hand, or just send over a chapter or oneshot, and see what comes back at me?
I've decided to start out with one of my finished oneshots, a story about a party and two people who have entirely too much history between them to ever move forward. I'm anxious to see what she comes back with, and I'm hoping she likes my writing style enough to stay on for a permanent basis. I'd love to have someone that I could bounce stuff off of on an on-going basis *cheeky grin*
I haven't been able to write any new pieces this weekend, but I'm hoping, once the beta gets comfortable, I'll be able to begin the revision for my OTH fanfic, In a Time of Need. My plan is to finish the rewrite, and then post the story as a new version. We'll see how it goes ^_^
