Every time I'm lucky enough to get a thoroughly lovely piece to beta it makes me so happy :)

That's all I'm saying.

I KNOW WHICH PIECE YOU MEAN!! And yes, it is thoroughly lovely. And hilarious. When it sells for a stupid amount of money, we'll be able to say we read it first. :D

Does it annoy you that it’s the first draft and it’s already so polished? Because I am basically furious that a first draft could be this good. It is, *frankly*, quite offensive. :D

To be frank, I find it appalling. I really do.

When it sells for a stupid amount of money

^^ I wouldn't mind being in on this action, please. :D

Heh.

You're both pretty adorable.

Also potentially delusional. But yes, adorable. :e2flowers

OMG, this thread is doing my head in. Also swelling it. :)

(Also, hands off the MS, you lot! Actually, you can have it if you write the synopsis for me. Maybe.)

I'm new so can't start a thread. So it's kinda tricky to get a beta reader, especially the one like you :) I've got a friend doing some editing, but otherwise not many readers so far. I hope to get some that enjoy readers and can provide valuable feedback. This is actiually the most valuable feedback possible: it reading is enjoyable or boring, and it's the most difficult to judge when you're writing, especially not in your native tongue... Oh, and I'm writing a sci-fi technothriller. 22 chapters are online and more are coming...
