30 Day Fandom Meme Day 23 and 24

[leethet]

Day 23 – When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?
My LJ, any easy archive that I know about. If it’s work, I won’t do it (like if I have to jump through hoops to join or whatever). I love self-loading archives.


Day 24 – Beta'ing – How many betas do you like to use to make sure there aren't any major flaws in your fic? Do you have a Beta horror story or dream story?
I don’t use betas. :-) I heartily approve the concept, but am comfortable with presenting my work as is, warts and all. I very much enjoy creating something that’s wholly mine.

Well, I've been writing for a really long time, and I make my living as an editor (have for about 25 years), so, y'know - that doesn't mean my work is brilliant, or flawless, but I don't have any fears about it having horrible grammatical or spelling problems, and I'm pretty good about plot holes and stuff (as for characterization, that's so subjective anyway, but I feel like it's pretty good). If I were trying to sell it, I'd hold it to a higher standard, but for fanfic, the occasional goof or POV screwup (though it annoys me) isn't enough to make me regret my choice. :-)
