back in the saddle

[salixbabylon]

Spent all afternoon beta-ing a really interesting fic. But ACK, it's so difficult! I mean, it's always difficult, to walk that line between being thorough and being harsh, but now, after my recent experience, it's REALLY hard. Knowing first-hand how it feels to be tromped on, even accidentally, makes me cringe every time I point out an inconsistency. But it's my -job- to be through. Hopefully she'll believe my gushing (which is sincere) and honestly take all my comments with a grain of salt.

It's always weird betaing for someone new, not knowing how they'll react to my style, not wanting the hurt them, but wanting to do a good job. Blech.

Belly dance show tonight! Whee!
