Betas Wanted!!!
So... I know that some of the writers have expressed a need for beta readers. So I thought I'd make a sign-up post for those who thought they could volunteer their services. Please remember - beta'ing is actual work and should be thoughtful and comprehensive in a way that assists the writer.
That in mind... I'm stealing my beta request post from rounds_of_kink, lol.
Please comment here with the following information if you'd like to offer your services as a beta:
Beta'ing is a wonderful thing and can help many people's writings in leaps and bounds. Hope you all take advantage of this lovely tool :)
To both sides of the beta'ing process, writers and betas alike, please be sure to be courteous. When someone says they don't want to beta non-con, please respect that. Don't wheedle. Find someone else who is willing. And if someone says that they don't have time, don't become demanding. And on the beta side - there is a difference between helpful criticism and cutting down an author. I promise, building a courteous and fulfilling beta relationship is definitely worth it.
That said... run along, write, beta, create! And of course, have fun ;)

Please comment here with the following information if you'd like to offer your services as a beta:
- Fandoms you are comfortable with reading
- Anything you can't read (if you're not comfortable with non-con, for example)
- Contact information: email where people can get a hold of you
- Your skills: are you just a grammar/spelling beta? are you just good at spotting those annoying inconsistencies? etc.
