I hope you know I was not talking about you specifically here. Just, demanding time is an issue I've had with every *good* beta I've worked with. And a few bad ones I've worked with! And you're definitely among the best.
Anyway you shouldn't feel guilty. I UNDERSTAND. I understand RL getting in the way and not having time and just not feeling like it sometimes (I don't know if that happens with you but it's the main reason my beta-work often takes so long). It's just...I feel guilty back if I bug you. And I feel like I shouldn't feel guilty, because I should be able to ask, and *you* shouldn't feel guilty if (FOR ANY REASON) you say, "ZOMG not right now Joy!"--which I would be fine with and doesn't make you suck. But instead we're both left with guilt.
Anyway, a big reason besides guilt I rarely bug you about BS is I don't have anything written after what I sent you. Well, I had some, but it was on the laptop that got stolen and I only have half backed up. So I mean it's not like I've been waiting over here with bated breath or anything, so honestly, don't worry about it.
And that sounds awesome, I'd love to talk some BS, but again, it wouldn't be a big deal if we didn't. I do love ya for other reasons, you know ;o) I think I've mentioned before that I know what it feels like to have fannish obligation breathing down your neck, and I don't want you to feel that way. Fandom should be FUN, omg.
