You pay for your betas to get foot massages? Why didn't I know this. I'll be waiting. Just kidding :)
About the rating - it's sometimes such a fine line to cross that we (betas) sometimes tend to be extra picky about the language. I recently betaed a chapter for another author, and there's was this explicit scene between Harry and Ginny that made me doubt it was appropriate for the R rating. Anyways, the council decided it could stay with the R rating as long as it didn't go any farther. But yes, it's difficult decision to make for an author and only you know what's best for you story. I do know that your readers, those who can, will follow your story if it ends up being bumped up.
Hi, I noticed we've got some friends in common, and I was wondering if I could add you to the flist? I'm always looking to meet new people, and I'd like the chance to diversify my flist by adding a splash of testosterone. :)
