Be aware that at least one mod (that would be me) has a pretty rigid sense of when a work is ready for a beta reader. Allow me to copy and paste what I've said elsewhere at AW:
The term "beta reader" comes from the computer industry's beta testers, who'd use a program or play a game its creators thought was ready to market, seeking anything which might still be wrong with it so it could be fixed before going public.
For writers, a beta reader is the very last reader before a work is submitted to agents or publishers or is self-published. The work a beta reader goes over is complete. It has been edited for content and grammar, copy edited, proofread, spell checked, and polished to a tasteful gleam, to the very best of the author's ability. It's totally ready to go.
Sometimes a writer who asks for a beta reader actually wants critique of a work which isn't yet polished and ready for submission. Maybe it's not even complete. This is fine, of course, and can be quite useful...
What I get bent about is writers who are here only to take advantage of the generosity of those who willingly beta read (and may end up critiquing line by line). Far too often they're people who don't yet have the required posts for Share Your Work. They haven't critiqued anyone else's work. And they present a work that is not at all beta-ready, sometimes knowingly, because they want to get what they need to improve their work without having to give anything to improve anyone else's.
Now, clearly you're not one of those. You've participated from the day you arrived, asking questions, becoming a part of the community. (Good. This part of the board could use more dudes.) I hope you will extend your range to include Share Your Work - Erotica and critique the work of some of your fellow writers as part of getting that post count up--especially since what you seem to need and want is critique, not a beta read. Edit: And not every post needs to be that much work. You're welcome to join in at Office Party's more fun threads, or share recipes, talk movies, etc. The more people know and like you, the more likely you are to get critique, too.
Maryn, not this inflexible about much
