*g* Completely understand. Maybe others felt like you do and I should rectify that.
I guess what I was hoping for was a group of betas, that when someone needed a fic to be looked at the beta's listed can choose to either look at it or not. I would not ask nor do I expect that you or any other beta "marry" that person or even commit for good on doing so in Beya. *g*
You are so right. Over the years, I've been so blessed because the beta's that I've had have been exactly what I'm looking for...Don't just tell me what's wrong, show me or fix it for me type of Beta is what I look for. And you are so much one of the best on that for me!
So, please don't feel that I meant the comment above as anything but....I guess it's only because I have seen new JT writers that are making these mistakes that even I pick up and I by no means am a writer like you and the others...so, yeah..it's much needed.
I know that Fanfic has betas in their site and I'm sure there must be something in L J, too but I guess I wanted something exclusive.
