Beta Beta Omicron
The place to find your own special beta reader across the fandom divide.
Please care for your beta as you would anyone else especially awesome. Word is, beta readers greatly enjoy chocolate.
Beta readers, please locate the fandom or fandoms you'd like to beta read for in the comments below. If your fandom is not listed, it does not exist prod-a-mod and she will add it. Then respond to that comment with the following information.
- Your LJ Name/Address and/or Email (Please choose the best way for writers to contact you.)
- Will you read general (non-relationship) fic? Heterosexual pairings? Slash pairings?
- Genres you prefer? (Romance, angst, mystery, etc.)
- Genres you aren't interested in?
- What are your strengths? (Plot holes, characterization, flow/voice of the author, spelling/grammar?)
- Couples/Pairings/Characters you love?
- Couples/Pairings/Characters you won't read?
- How harsh can you be? (Meaning, will you have a problem honestly telling a person what's wrong with their story for fear of hurting their feelings?)
- Are you willing to beta longer and multi-part fics?
- Are there any specific areas of fandom in which you can or cannot beta for? (examples would be: film version versus novel; classic series versus contemporary series and/or spin offs; limited knowledge of canon or a knowledge of canon that is so vast, even the creators couldn't beat you at a Fandom XYQ Triva-Off)
Writers, please locate your fandom and a beta below.
