Via hogwarts_today, I found larilee's essay called Finding, Caring for and Feeding Your Beta. She has done a fantastic job of detailing the author-beta relationship and some do's and don't.
I know I'm fairly new to the beta business, but I value any opportunity to learn more. Based on the beta types she listed, I'd say I fall into the Proofreader and Editor classifications. I would never claim to be an expert at either, though. I beta because I adore all the authors in fandom and want to be able to give something back. I'm not an English major or wordsmith by trade.
