Discussion: Beta Writing

[embolalia.livejournal.com]

Earlier in the week, several people expressed interest in talking about beta writing and the writing process, so I thought we'd discuss it! (Admittedly this is a less pilots-centric discussion than some, but feel free to post pics or gifs of pilots if you think they're feeling left out :)


Kara says sometimes this writing shit is hard!

Some questions to start out:

• Betas, what kinds of stories do you like to work on? How do you approach the process, and what helps it go well?
• Writers, how do you find a beta to work with? What type of feedback is most helpful to you as you craft a story? How much does a good beta influence the final product?
• Readers, does knowing something's been beta-ed affect whether you'll read it?

If you're not familiar with the beta process, feel free to ask other questions as well!
