Basically what the thread title says Most of us are usually in and out of writing pieces and I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like a second opinion before posting chapters/work. Not just for here, but for like FanFiction and FictionPress too. It's just an idea, you don't have to do anything about it if you don't want. Oh, but if you want I could be like a Beta Moderator (not to step on any toes or push myself up the ladder or anything, lol). I'm not after a staff position or anything like that, but if you wanted/needed help organisating Beta Readers and whatnot, I'd love to help.

Hmm. I'm not familiar with this term- beta system. IF it simply a group of people that read/crituque your stuff before you post it? If so, I like it.

Beta-reader...its like a 'second' reader (that's how someone else described it to me). Sort of like an editor, to read through you're work (yea before you post it). For stuff like spelling, grammar, punctuation, flow, plot points, interest, etc.

Wow, OK, that's cool if we have some sort of an editor around here. I think I would just make this position part of the staff
