I've read some things three or four times, and I still find stuff. Can't help but feel cross-eyed after a while. Sometimes it just needs a fresh pair of eyes is all.
Don't beat yourself up...you're amazing in your own right.
Even the best beta readers are still human. Much as I know many of us wish we could be perfect. Sometimes typos just slip through, no matter how carefully the text is combed through. :) So no beating yourself up about it!
Oh, and perhaps if the author is one that wouldn't mind, you could shoot them a message pointing out the errors that were missed, so they can be corrected. I know I'd do it if it were me!
No, it wasn't you. Well, I probably did overlook something in one of your fics, too! But not today. It was Teddy. I'll just have to put on the big girl panties and confess. It's actually kind of funny.
Well, once I stopped laughing long enough to be able to type, I went in and fixed the mistake. No harm done, and no one else mentioned it, like 'grow and pair', but it did put a bit ol' smile on my face to picture Severus as the 'Man of the Dessert'. It sounds like it should be a category for Time Magazine.
Come to think on it, though, he is rather yummy...
