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?
Well...the past couple of years I've been bad about using a beta just because I've been writing for challenges and I've always - always - managed to finish it just before the challenge closes, meaning there's no time. But normally I have a close friend who betas for me and isn't remotely shy about telling me when something doesn't work, has a weak premise, or just plain doesn't make sense. I might have to find a new beta or two just becaue I'm writing in some fandoms she isn't familiar with. Which makes me sad because she's so much better at writing IC than I am.
