This has been something that I've probably been thinking about for over a year or so, but really toyed with writing out my ideas for the last couple of months. Not sure how much interest people will have, but I had fun making up the little ladder charts (iz dork).
Because this is rather pictorial and trying to make a bunch of jpgs and write the html code is ten times more work than clicking 'save as pdf', this meta is in pdf format on my slashcity acct. Click on the intro text below to be taken to the pdf. View in your browser or right click save. Whatever. Please link people to the
Dreamwidth post (it's unlocked and will remain so).

Thanks to melusinahp for the beta ;P
A little intro, pleaseā¦
Over the past few years, I've developed a sort of statistical view of looking at fanfic and that has recently transformed into this wee little Beta-Writer Ladder Theory. It's a look at the match up of skill, ability and talent between Beta and Writer that will provide the best benefit to the Writer and least stress and beta enjoyment to the Beta. If anyone has checked out my Holiday Fest Season reccing posts the past two years, you already know that I'm a math geek and believe in the Gaussian Curve (Normal Distribution) like a religion. That view feeds into the Beta-Writer Ladder Theory.Please comment, discuss, or post pornagraphic responses on my
