No time, Fish. Considering the level of demand you're prone to putting on those hapless enough to just give you feedback, I'm not sure I could handle the demands of being a beta! Two other reasons, though:
1) I sometimes go through extended phases of simply not being in the mood to read fic, as the length of time between your posted fics and my actual responses should indicate. Sure, I usually get around to them eventually, but you'd probably want somewhat more timely responses from an actual beta reader.
2) I'm really not that good. Sure, I catch the occasional typo here and there, and when I see them, I report on them, but as far as reading for content and giving in-depth reasons for why I think this about that passage, or whatever, that, I'm not so hot at. Basically, it requires a bit more self analysis than I'm willing to do with reguards to fanfiction.
