This is an interesting topic, and I'm glad you brought it up. I think I've only really had a BR for one of my stories - thanks Wendy, for Moments of Illumnations. (If I haven't thanked you before, consider yourself thanked
) I think my lack of BRs is because most of my stories so far have been short ones, and I've been able to read them over myself fairly successfully. But I wouldn't turn down another BR for a longer story or a series...
Now, I *have* been a BR myself - how about addressing what it takes to be a good BR? I would start it out by saying, "Know your own strengths." Not everyone is good at grammar, spelling and punctuation. (That's my strength.) Others, like me, aren't too good with plotlines, names, and other stuff. Personally if someone asked me to BR, I would tell them what I can do, and advise them to find someone else to point out the other things.
What else can you add to this?
