beta appreciation

[schmerica]

I feel really ridiculously lucky to have this whole group of fangirls surrounding me. It's betaing, yeah, but it's not just sending the story off -- they brainstorm with me, they encourage, they comfort when I want to give up, they read anything I send off to them, they make it a hundred times better, they support and inspire. I would feel lucky enough to have one person who could be that sort of second pair of eyes for me (second brain, really, at times), but instead I have seven ridiculously talented, smart, funny fangirls who do all this for me on a regular basis.

brooklinegirl, estrella30, fox1013, lalejandra, lynnmonster, lyra_sena, and nifra_idril? You know how much I adore you all. *snuggle*
