Hello everyone. Sorry not an update, but I've gotten ticked off so I'm taking matters into my own hands.
I need a Beta writer desperately.
I had an offer several months to a year ago, and I regret immensely turning them down. The only reason I did was because I was scared. I was scared because I had a 'kinda' Beta before and they stole one of my stories and posted it on their own account. It blew up into this huge huge conflict because I tried to claim it back. When the site it was posted on got involved, I got accused of attempted theft. Which was ridiculous, because I even sent the site screenshots of all of our conversations that proved I was the original writer.
I still was accused and I was given the ultimatum of handing over the chapters I 'stole' in other words the chapters I had written and hadn't sent to the thief yet or be kicked off of the site that I had been using for 5 years and at the time had my only copies of my stories on it.
I did the logical thing. I handed it over.
I feel as if I got the last laugh though because some of my more loyal followers noticed and went to town hating on the story that the thief tried to continue to write. And I did go back and read it, it ended up being really horrible and nowhere near what I had wanted to do with it but the thief was so embarrassed that he had been called out by readers, the site still didn't care, that he took it down in embarrassment.
As far as I know he left the site completely after that and I haven't seen him on any other.
But now I feel like I can trust a real Beta, and I need one desperately.
I have messaged several over PM on here but none of them have responded. It's been about a month since I started searching and I'm tired of waiting.
If you are interested please PM on this site or message me through the social networking app Kik. My username for kik is DTU16.
Please help me find someone to help me!
Also please be mindful that I've never really had a real Beta. So please forgive me if I do something wrong...
Thank you!
