Re: The Heroism of Revision was really interesting. I had no idea that there was a feeling of being anti-revision in the pro writer world. How do you improve if not with constructive criticism? In the fanfic world, betas are essentially peer editors, though I recognize the power differential is not the same -- the beta isn't going to prevent you from posting your fic, after all. Maybe moderators of archives who take a heavy-handed approach would be analogous.

Anyway, I found that really interesting!
