Concrit
RokofAges75:
Darby, I think that's a great point about having a beta reader to give you concrit as you're writing, compared to getting it after the story is finished. It's definitely more valuable while the story's in progress, especially if you have that person who will read and critique before you post it for the public, so you can make changes.
I know some people rewrite stories, but that's a huge pain in the ass, and while it may make the writer feel better, sometimes it actually pisses the readers off. I don't want my favorite stories being rewritten; I like them just the way they are! It's like George Lucas rereleasing the original Star Wars trilogy with new CGI effects - he may think it looks better that way, but most of the hardcore fans hated it!
I think the best thing you can do with concrit given after the fact is take it, learn from it, and try to apply it to future stories.

I agree with this too but everytime I see the word Beta, I think of my dead fish Herbie the Happy Fish fish :( He was a beta and a damned good one!

Julie, thank you for your simple explanation! Sometimes it's really hard to understand what the text books are saying.... :)
