The Beta event! Brought to you with glee!
The first beta event ever, brought to you with glee! For all our english speakers to show your grammar skills, come join us!
SIGN UPS ARE CLOSED!
--About
Hello lovelies! This is a beta event, but since it's the first ever, we'll be making the rules this time! It's really simple so if you're confident with your english speaking and editing skills, feel free to join us and help our participants! It doesn't mean that only people born in countries that the first language is english can join, but if you feel confident enought, please do join!! Let's see the rules, shall we?
--How it works
+ It starts with you, offering to be a beta reader, join us by filling out the form and commenting (comments are screened, don't worry!). The writers that want to guarantee a beta reader need to comment on this post, but if you want only to send the email with your fic attached (when you finish it, after the first check-in) feel free to! There are two types of forms, watch out!! (wink wink~).
+ When a writer has their fic finished and requests for a beta reader, I'll check the list of beta readers avaliable (that will be the people that offer to beta) and see which pairings the beta is willing to read the fic about!
+ This event is anonymous! Meaning that me, the mod, is the only one that'll know who are the writer and the beta reader. I'll assign a fic to the beta and when he/she is done with the fic, they simply need to email me with the new doc of the fic and I'll email the edited version to the writer to see if there is anything that they have a problem with, and then they'll email me with the final version.
+ Neither the writer or the beta reader will know who are their identities.
+ The writers that want a beta reader can start sending their finished fics to be beta-ed after the first check-in!
+ That's how it works! If you have any questions, feel free to ask through @twitter, @tumblr, emailing me at yeolliepopday@gmail.com or by commenting on the comment section!
--Rules
+ Even if you're a beta reader, please don't comment about the fic you're reading in your social accounts! It's still an event and something to keep as a secret~ the mod thanks you in advance!!
+ Please no criticism about the fic you beta-ed! This also works for the fics in general, when the postings start, please don't comment with criticism (even if positive, because this is supposed to a fun event for everyone and specially for the participants! Be careful with your words, not everyone likes it!) and no mean comments! The mod is counting on you to make this fun for everyone and thanks you all in advance again!!
+ This beta event consists, at first ,of only correcting the grammar (false friends, changing to synonyms,...), but if your writer allows it, you can edit the fic (re-write [correct] sentences, things regarding the tenses,etc.)
+ The beta reader don't need to be in the exchange, it's even better like that! But if you do want to participate and you're in the exchnage, feel free to do so!
+ Any questions regarding the fic you're beta-ing, please email me at yeolliepopday@gmail.com!
