Beta Readers, Pinch Hits, Admin Notes
Admin note #1: Sign-ups are open for just under 3 more days. I will close them at approx 6pm on Thurs 16th April in my time zone, NZST. Time in your time zone is here, and there's a 'countdown' button in the 'Event actions' menu to the right. You can add, edit, or delete a sign-up until that time.
Admin note #2: I closed sign-ups briefly and ran matching, just to see how things were shaking out. Everyone has someone who can create a gift for them. Two people have no one they can write, edit, or record for. I'm not too worried, because we have 3 more days of sign-ups, but if the situation is the same when sign-ups close, I'll talk to the relevant people before I proceed with assignments. Everyone needs a potential assignment before I will send assignments out.
Admin note #3: Huzzah for the number of sign-ups so far! I am excited to see new people - welcome - and to see people returning - welcome back! And to those who have signed up or pinch hit or shown interest before, but aren't around for this round - thank you for your interest at the time, and best wishes now.
Pinch Hitters
If you are interested in pinch hitting for this exchange, please email jukebox.mod@gmail.com with your AO3 name, the media (fic/art/podfic) you can pinch hit for, and your preferred email address IF it's different to the one you're contacting me on.
Beta readers/feedback-givers
If you are willing to look over the gift someone has created before it goes live and give them feedback on what works and doesn't work for you, checking spelling, etc, please comment to THIS POST or to the equivalent beta post on LJ. Please indicate some way for the creator to contact you, any further information they need to know (such as "I will not read a story over 5k" / "I cannot look at art that depicts X" / "I'm busy in the last two weeks before deadline"), and your AO3 name if you are also signing up for the challenge.

Beta. I can do fic and audio beta.
I may not be the best beta for you if:
* You need heavy-duty grammar work
* Your fic has explicit sexual content
* If your work has any of the following content: unrequited, pining, treating war/soldiers/similar as metaphoric/abstract rather than concrete, fantasy approach (not in the D&D sense) to any sort of violence or the aftermath of said violence.
For audio, I use Audacity on a Windows platform and might also be able to help with some editing/sound-cleanup other than listen-through beta.
I'm hesitant to put caps on length because how long a work I can take also depends on the kind of work the creator needs done; that said, I probably won't be able to do above 20-30min of audio or 6-8k words of written fic.
Cover art. Can do! Examples of the sort of thing I do here; I did the covert art for everything except Hamsa and Keeping Company.
Contact options. IIRC registered DW users should be able to see my email on my profile page here. If not, PM for my email. If you don't have a DW account, leave an anon comment on any of my posts with your email (anon comments are auto-screened and will not at any point be publicly visible). File-sharing platforms I use include gDocs, dropbox, sendpsace and mediafire.

I will beta stories of any length and any rating. You can e-mail me at withinadream27 at gmail, or pm me here on Dreamwidth.

It tends to take me approximately 1 day per 1k, so a long fic close to the deadline may not be workable.
Happy to take on any content, but would appreciate warnings for darker or gorier content. I am less confident with porn than with lower-rated fic.
