I've beta-ed in another fandom, but never for BSG. When I was a beta, my job was generally sounding board/typo catcher - what really makes the process go smoothly is when the author knows what they're going to do with a story/has a decent handle on the characters, and is secure enough not to mind being questioned on the nitty-gritties.
I've never had a beta for my BSG fic (they're mostly flashfic typed out in like twenty minutes anyway) but I'd really love to have one when I get around to writing the multi-chapter fic i have planned. Issues with structure and what not are harder to work through if I'm on my own.
