You realize you're doing something right when...

... you discover a post like this.

::is proud and boggled by the amount of fun and work that the admins at The Quidditch Pitch engage in::

And yes, I beta'ed the 100 page story pretty quickly. I know what it's like to want to see your work up for the public. But also- I'm being fangirled! And fanboied!! Perhaps this means I've come into my own in HP fandom. :D

umm, why is my comment all in WHITE???

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Don't know! It looks perfectly normal when I view it, but I'm seeing it through my filter. Thank you for your kind comments. ♥ My mission for today: a drabble apiece for rondracodrabble and harryron100. I'm hooked on those communities now.

This was so great to read about! I went skimming over the various links off the post, too. Will have to check out the story you just beta'd. Ain't nothing wrong with a bit of het. ;)

You so totally deserve the fanboiing!

[leviathan0999.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he wouldn't mind you reading his story at all, lol. And yes, the lovefest was quite welcome. Between that and the several reviews I've received at Stories of Arda for my new Gimli story, I'm feeling really positive!

Many thanks. I emailed you to say I'd be happy to beta for you in the future, just send the fic to me at my quidditchpitch email address. :)

That's because you totally rock and make us look good! Hee!

*fangirls you*

:P

[celandineb.livejournal.com]

Yay for you! I'm always in awe of people who beta, like it, and are good at it, because I am none of the above. *g*

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

I know! I feel so... adored, really. It's absolutely tremendous.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

LOL! You're so very kind. ((hugs))

*is fangirled*

:D :D

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

*g* I knew that you didn't usually have people beta your stuff, but I hadn't realized that you didn't beta for other people. Now I know!! ♥

[celandineb.livejournal.com]

I've betaed a handful of times, but I don't think I'm very good at it and I don't especially enjoy it, so pretty much I've quit doing so. So as I say I'm always impressed by those who are able and willing and like to.

(Every once in awhile I think about whether or not I should try to find someone to beta for me regularly, but I don't feel like I want/need the assistance often enough to make it worthwhile. So far the few times I've wanted help and put out a plea on my journal, I've been lucky enough to have someone offer.)

Your compliments are well-deserved. It's not for the fact that you beta; it is because you do it well and genuinely care about what you are doing. Not every beta makes such a personal investment into their job. Plus you're so kind and generous with your own knowledge that it turns the editing experience into a chance to learn and grow rather than a chore.

I'm going to print this out on gorgeous paper and add it to my 'self-validating' comments to look at each day. Thank you so very much; you've written *exactly* what I've hoped to do as I beta, and I'm so humbled and grateful that you've felt such as we've worked together. I really do feel somewhat Dwarvish in my enterprise: this is wordcraft. It's sacred, this careful, joyous manipulation of words, as the Dwarves do with metal, gem and stone.

I've soo been outed. *blushing*

Well, I can't resist it any longer. I've come to friend you. Seems only proper after fangirling at for so long. Heh.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

I've friended back. Welcome to the haven! If ever you're exposed to more than you wish, let me know and I'll change my filter for you. :)

That is just plain awesome.
Very cool! :)
