I've had a lot of hassle getting people in my real life to function as beta readers. If I can get anyone to read it at all, very few finish it. And the comments I get are; "I liked it." "It was good." "It's fine." "There was one part that needed a comma, but I don't remember where." Frustrating. I found critters.org on the SFWA site. It looks like exactly what I need. So why am I so terrified? Because I'm about to hand my full manuscript (several years of work) to faceless strangers on the internet. No biggie. Here's what I want to know from all of you guys: Have any of you tried Critters.org? Are there hidden pitfalls that I should be aware of? Or am I just being paranoid? Reader feedback is the only thing stopping me from finishing off the editing phase and shopping it around to Agents.
