Does anyone actually realize that beta reading actually involves ... wait for it... READING?
Yet another fic where the author thanks so and so for being their *airquotes* beta reader, and within two paragraphs I notice three or four errors.
Dude. Running something through word (or the equivalent) spell and grammar check doesn't count as beta reading. The author should be able to do that much.
Let's not even get into continuity and form.
*mutter mutter grumble*
Kids these days. A good walk five miles to a beta reader in a howling blizzard up-hill both ways would teach them a thing or two.
*grumble mutter mutter*
ETA: It's 'would have', people, not 'would of'. *mutter grumble mutter*
