Betareading Finders Post

[havocthecat]

Okay! Since apparently one person has already finished her story (omg so jealous), I'm just going to throw up a post for people to find betareaders.

If you're willing to be a betareader, please post here so that other people can find you. Otherwise, maybe you can take advantage of the sga_beta or sg1betas communities. There's also a multifannish beta comm, beta_search.

Question

[ed_84]

Do we just shout out about what pairing we've written? Because that might accidently give away who we're writing for, but on the other hand, the betas need to know which pairing it is to see if they like it?

Re: Question

[havocthecat]

Oh, no, don't talk about what pairing you've written! Especially the one you wrote, that's really rare. I'd talk in generalities, like "het relating to character X," maybe, because this being you, I think we can all figure out who character X is, and that leaves a lot of room open. :)

I need a beta for a het fic relating to Elizabeth. PG-13. Less then 8 k in its first draft, but it may expand on the second draft.

(Yes, I've already written it. What can I say? The plot sang to me.)

[teh_bug]

Did you still need a beta or did you find one? I can't promise I'll be the speediest beta, but if you still need one I'm here. :)

If I may, you might want to add sg1betas to the list. I'm the mod and we have a lot more available people to beta.

Oh, awesome, an active SG1 beta comm? Thank you!

[secondalto]

You are very welcome!

Sure! I'll beta. I'm not the strictest on grammar rules, but I know enough to be fairly competent there. :)
