Beta Post 2017

[morbane]

Hello!

Hope you're enjoying your assignment. Barring any pinch hits, this should be the last post from me for a little while.

Volunteer to be a Beta

If you can offer feedback on fic, art, or podfic at the draft stage, please comment here or on LJ. The following information is necessary:

• What media you can give feedback on


• Your AO3 name, if it's different from the name you're using to comment with, and you've signed up to this year's exchange


• How to contact you.

Additionally, the following information may be useful:

• Any content you will not beta, or warnings you would like before opening a file


• Things you're particularly interested in (themes, tropes, gender configurations for romance/sex)


• When you are or aren't available


• Your preferred file formats.

If you can check spelling or tell someone what confused you or what you liked about a story or piece of art, or if you can give technical suggestions to improve an artwork or a podfic, please consider volunteering! Betas are awesome. Thank you.

It is not mandatory to get your work beta-checked. It is merely very much encouraged. If you're having trouble finding a beta, please talk to me, Morbane, and I'll try to help.

Please don't post openly about what you're creating & who for - but it is fine to discuss this privately with your beta.

Morbane @ AO3 / morbane@gmail.com / pm me on LJ or DW.
Will beta fic only.

I will beta all content but would appreciate warnings for gore, especially damage to hands, and general notes on disturbing content.

Available between May 1 and 27.

Will take at least 1 day per 2k of fic.

I look forward to reading stuff ahead of time! ;)

I'm bookherd on AO3 also (I didn't sign up for Jukebox Fest, because I learned about it too late). Send me a PM here and I'll give you my email address.

Will beta fic or art, no content restrictions. Sorry, no vids.

Because of dramatic fluctuations in schedule and internet access, I need a 3-day window to beta your work.

(I've never beta'd for strangers before, so I'm not sure how many takers to expect. If I find myself nearing capacity for what I can handle, I'll reply to my own message here with an update to that effect.)

[shadowsapiens]

I'm shadow_lover on AO3, same as here. You can contact me at votevanyel@gmail.com. I can give feedback on both fic and art. I'd like warnings about graphic violence.

For fic, I'm offering SPAG/flow feedback only, and I prefer google docs or word docs. I may say no if it's over 5k, depending on how my week's going :)

For art, heads up that the artist I usually critique is my sister, so I'm used to being pretty blunt. (But helpful! She swears that I'm helpful.)
