Having the nominator beta read might sound good in theory, but in practice, I don't think it would work. Beta readers have to have very strong grammar skills - something that isn't needed just to read and enjoy a story. -- Fic Recon

In reply to: janlaw 's message, "I'm one of the derelicts - still haven't finished beta-reading the long story I was assigned when I volunteered months ago! Perhaps 2008 can be the rejuvenation of the site - I know I love the site and volunteered in good faith but got bogged down in a story I don't care for personally (I WILL get it done). Perhaps the nominator should do the beta-reading - if she likes the story enough to nominate it she should be willing!" on 09:15:58 10/11/07 Thu
