kellinator1). I really need some kind of icon to use when I mock the stupid. Is anyone feeling generous? *flutters eyelashes*
2). I've just started beta-ing, and though I'm not completely new to it because I took creative writing classes where you have to critique your classmates' stories, I don't know much about the etiquette of all of it. Can someone catch me up?

If you don't like it, tell them so, but also tell them why. "You suck!" doesn't help anyone. "You suck because you wouldn't know a punctuation mark if it bit you in the ass!" Can sometimes offer worlds of assistance to an up and coming waiter or waitress.
