Today's discussion topic:



[ASK A FRIEND TO FACT-CHECK YOUR FIC (Fanfic Flamingo) SHE FINDS ERRORS. WANT TO DIE OF MORTIFICATION.]

Despite knowing how helpful it is, how do you feel when a beta points out mistakes in your fic?

Wrote a little bit - fever is keeping my creativity down. Could really do with a writing sprint right now *lol* hope I can finish this dumb smut scene soon.

I do not mind at all if betas point out mistakes. Sure if it is a really dumb embarrassing error, I might blush, but I am still very grateful to my beta. I don't even need things sugarcoated, the harsh truth is also somthing I am fond of. I want to become the best writer I can, just getting praise won't get me there.
