About

This is a community created to bring together Supernatural fanfic/RPS writers and beta-readers.

The writer-beta relationship can be a wonderful thing, but it's unlikely you will find 'The One' with your first choice. But if/when you do find the beta of your dreams, treat them well, feed them often and don't forget to credit them each and every time you post. They will be your greatest fandom resource.

POSTING INFO FOR BETAS

Betas who wish to advertise should make a post in the following format:

(Action/Humor/Drama/Crossover/Fluff/Kidfic/Slash/Wincest/Gen/Het/Threesome/Moresome/Mpreg/Deathfic/PWP/Smut/BDSM/AU/RPS/Any…)

Betas, please remember to edit your posts when appropriate, eg if you are unavailable for a time, or temporarily too busy to take on longer works. Keep your info up-to-date. thank you.

I (or a co-mod to be named later) will then tag the post with the relevant tags.

POSTING INFO FOR WRITERS

All posts requesting a beta's help should be polite and provide as much information as possible:

Title:
Genre: (Action/Humor/Drama/Crossover/Fluff/Kidfic/Slash/Wincest/Gen/Het/Threesome/Moresome/Mpreg/Deathfic/PWP/Smut/BDSM/AU/RPS etc)
Pairings or Characters:
Type of beta you'd like: (grammar/spelling/plot/canon/Dean-voice, etc…)
Length: (Drabble/Stand-alone/Multi-chapter/Novel-length… also include (estimated) number of words)
Short Summary:

If you’re not sure about something, or haven’t decided yet because it’s still a WIP, say so.

And remember, betas have as much choice in this as writers. Just because you think beta xxx looks perfect for you, that doesn't mean that they will think the same about you or your fic. Betas can and will say no, with or without providing a reason, so keep in mind that 'betas have real lives too'.

Betas tagged by genre
Gen
Het
RPS
Slash
Wincest
Americanisms

Please remember to check the poster's info to make sure they are compatible with you and your fic.

Please note that this is a beta-finding community, not a betaing community, so please do not post fic in the comm.

Thank you, and welcome!
