If while betaing a vid - the beta experiences a burning, soul clogging fit of jealousy over certain parts - this does not mean that she is a bad person.

Right?

It means she's a TERRIBLE person who will burn in PUPPET MINISTRY HELL!

Or maybe not, you never know.

If it does, I'm the worst person alive.

Only if said soul-clogging jealousy leads to sabotage! Throw no wooden shoes, and you have resisted the Forces of Evil.

Of course, if Lindsey is part of the forces, I'm out front, kicking away. Who wants to resist?

Like Lindsey could even *be* in a bad vid. I don't think it is possible.

[elynross.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. I have, like, this incredible urge to just fill up my icon slots with Lindsey icons, if I could find or commission more good ones. I think I've finally found a fandom where my attraction to the sidekick/ambiguous guy equals and in some ways surpasses my attraction to the hero. I think it's because at this point, I can see Lindsey as kind of heroic, too. We'll see if that endures.

The rest of it is simply that something about him sends my hormones into overload in a way DB never will. GUH. And together. Well.

Try changing your thinking to this:

"I am so glad to be this person's beta. For we are all part of the Body of Vidding, which means every vid a vidder makes belongs to the Body."

So you can say that the vid is actually yours...

Better?

Oh, I like this. It is like taking previous knowledge and applying it to other areas. Also - it lets the vid me MINE. Precious. Ahem.

[permetaform]

it *is* yours, am blaming my return to Smallville on you. so there. =)

Clearly not. It does mean that she should finish the hell up on the beta so the rest of us can see it.

[saifai.livejournal.com]

Nope, just means the vidder did a good job. I think I'd take it as a compliment if someone betaing a vid of mine had a "burning, soul clogging fit of jealousy". *gr*

[heresluck]

Definitely not a bad person. Possibly a really lucky person, since she might be developing early tolerance for a vid that will leave the rest of us burning with jealousy as well, and she can be all calm and cool and articulate while we're all going "look at the— did you see the thing with the— and then the— oh, dude."

You're only a bad beta if you bogart the bodacious bits and brag that you built them.

Not enough b's there, I fear.

What makes a bitter vidder better? A beta! (Okay, that makes no sense. Please ignore.)
