Beta and Cheerleader Search

Feb 17, 2018 14:30

Hi everyone!

I hope all of your fanworks are going well. We've got just under three weeks until the due date, so I thought this was a good time to post the beta and cheerleader search. It's highly recommended that you have a beta look over your work before reveals, whether you're doing fic, art, or something else. And a cheerleader can be very helpful if you like to talk through your ideas or need some extra encouragement to get through. Sometimes it can be hard to find a beta or cheerleader for small fandoms like this or if you don't already have someone you rely on. That's what this post is for!

If you are looking for someone to beta your work, leave a comment with something like "Beta needed" in the title, some details about what you need beta'd (I suggest you include at least pairing/character and media), and the best way to contact you (or if you'd rather contact potential betas). Be sure not to mention who the fanwork is for as this is an anonymous fest. If you feel even posting a comment would make it too obvious, you may want to wait to see if anyone offers general beta services and contact them.

If you are willing to beta for someone, you can leave a comment with something like "Beta offer" in the title, some details about what you're willing to beta, and the best way to contact you. This will allow creators to contact potential betas without worrying about their giftee offering beta services and possibly making things awkward. You can also wait until creators have posted comments asking for betas and respond to those you're interested in.

There you have it! If you have any questions about betas or cheerleaders, please let me know and I will do my best to answer them.

*Also, this post is open to anyone, whether you're participating in the fest or not. So if you missed the sign up deadline but would still like to be involved, please consider offering your services as a beta and/or cheerleader for one of our wonderful creators. And feel free to pass the link to this post around. You can never have too many potential betas or cheerleaders!
