nico1908 | Belated beta appreciation (Reply)

…and one who's doing such an awesome job deserves extra."

Thus wrote Dreamerdoll (a dear person who left me a wonderful review) in an e-mail to me today - and made me realize that I've been remiss in expressing my appreciation for my dear beta, Actias_luna (who, to the best of my knowledge, has no LJ or Web site; if you want to find out what her screen name stands for, click here).

I am very fortunate to have somebody who is so in tune with my style of writing and my story. She does a wonderful job putting her finger unerringly on every weak spot, and although it sometimes makes me want to cry, I appreciate her honesty. She never beats around the bush but tells me exactly how she feels about the characters and what she thinks about the plot. Her comments and suggestions are invaluable. Without her help, "Found, Never Lost" would be half the fic it is, and I am very fortunate and grateful to have her!
