I get the whole point of wanting to get a story up like as soon as possible however, when you have a beta helping you with a hectic real life schedule and their own work, you would think they would have some patience when it comes to getting the edited copy back... That has not happened with me.
A girl who was reading a fanfiction of mine on FF.net asked me to help them with their first story, without giving me anything on what it was, or what. Being the nice person I am and willing to help out I said, sure that I was willing to help a newbie...
Low and behold I ended up being sent a Twilight AU fic, I actually hate Twilight but I had said I would help her so I went ahead and edited her first chapter for her, showed her where she could improve, cut things, add others, etc, etc. When she reposted it, I found she had barely taken in what I had said but brushed it aside thinking hey, its not too bad she took in some of what I said.
She sent me the next chapter last week saying, "hurry... I want to get it up as soon as possible"...
This is where I sorta started to get annoyed. I clearly have on my profile on FF.net that I do have a full time job, I study and I have other commitments and here I sit getting these messages. Urgh!
Now I understand it may not be a great thing when I give them a promise date but they must remember that things pop up in between all the other stuff; including 7 assignments which I have like 9 days left to complete but I just opened my inbox to this, "so its been about a week past the time u said u would get it to me. dont bother anymore its fine."
???
Sorry is it just me or is this person starting to think I revolve only to beta for them and drop all things in my life as soon as she sends me a chapter???
Please help... I sent her a message saying I'm willing to help her but that other things come up suddenly and that being a beta is the last of my priorities for the past week.
I've even edited the chapter and am halfway through it but I'm about ready to just toss it in the recycle bin after that message.
I get that she is probably a teenager and anxious to post chapters but seriously respecting the boundaries of time and real life isn't too much to ask; is it?
Let me what you think,

Fairy you aren't long winded at all, its betas like you that are what aspiring writers need.
