If you don't want to do the work, why would I?
Saw a post in a comm for someone asking for a beta. Said person than said that she/he doesn't want to have to do dozens of rewrites because editing isn't really her/his strong suit.
So, you want a beta, but you want someone who will simply poke you with a stick and check your "grammer" (her/his spelling, not mine) and the chances of you actually checking the grammar and making the edits seems slim to none.
Yeah.
No.
Fuck you. Seriously.
Either sack up and put in the time to write (and edit) something you think is going to be 75,000 words or fuck right off. Seriously. Because you? You are wasting a beta's time.

And I love you, too, of course. But I think you knew that. :)
