Entry on betas

Nicci and I are talking about betas, how frustrated the SG fandom used to make me. I got into fanfic writing a few years before I got into SG and I was used to having a beta who would pick anything apart and bloody well make me write it better XD

What's your favorite beta moment/memory? How do you prefer to have your stuff beta'ed? I for one enjoy having it taken apart and handed back like a chinese puzzle with the note of -- it's a good idea, just needs work...
