Beta Post & Upcoming Dates

[longficmod]

Two quick reminders: the default deadline for this exchange is in just over a week, at 8 May at 11:59 PM, EDT. If you need to withdraw from the exchange after that point, we absolutely understand, but we will require you to complete your original assignment before signing up for future rounds of the exchange. To withdraw before that point, simply go to your assignment page on AO3 and click the Default button.

After that comes the mandatory check-in period. We'll make a post here, and everyone will be required to comment to let us know they're still committed to the exchange. That will run from 9-16 May.

With that out of the way, we hope writing is going well! Some of you may be looking for beta readers already.

If you're interested in providing feedback on someone's fic, leave a comment here! At minimum, please include the info in the form below--you can simply copy and paste it into your comment and add your personal details. Feel free to add additional information (for example, if you're willing to provide a SPAG beta for fandoms you don't know, or your usual turnaround time, or a specific area of expertise like a language you can help with regardless of fandom).

If you don't have an AO3 name, please say so--that field will prevent people from asking you to beta your own gift fic.

I think the ending of the first paragraph is missing. At least, I can't see it.

Thanks! Should be fixed now.

AO3 Name: thinkatory
Fandoms: A ridiculous amount. I'll pull from my AO3; HP, Homestuck, MCU, Doctor Who, Hannibal, ASOIAF, Star Wars, The Terror, and The Magnus Archives. These are just fandoms I'm currently active in; if you need a beta it might be best to check with me in case I do know your canon and just haven't written for it. I'm also ready to just do SPAG/style/pacing checks regardless of fandom too.

Is there anything you can't beta? (Length, content, etc.) No limits, no squicks, no max on fic length. Will beta anything.

AO3 Name: asuralucier
Fandoms: I'm happy to beta canon blind for Spag, Ameri-picking and Brit-picking. If you're looking for canon knowledge, check out my ao3 for a list of fandoms!
Contact info: iomixit@gmail.com / asuralucier#4082 on Discord
Is there anything you can't beta? (Length, content, etc.) I'd rather not beta noncon or underage (in this instance understood as characters younger than 16 engaged in explicit sexual activity - references are fine), but everything else is basically negotiable. I'm normally a fast beta, so you shouldn't have to wait too long, but if you give me 10k+ maybe give me a week or so.
Other: I'm happy to provide general knowledge in the following areas: classical music, the American South, Northern England, Academia (inner workings of universities in both US and UK systems), Chinese/Japanese culture (I speak Mandarin and a wee bit Japanese), literature (if your character needs a favorite book I am here for you). I also like learning things in general, so I'm happy to act as your research monkey within reason.

Fandoms: Check, Please!, Teen Wolf, Leverage, MCU, Welcome to Night Vale, West Wing, Breakfast Club, Simonverse | Creekwood. I will happily beta for any fandom, whether I know it or not.
Contact info: hugealienpie at yahoo dot com
Is there anything you can't beta? (Length, content, etc.) No content restrictions. Length: up to 20k. I'm a USian, so I'd be a bad choice for Brit-picking.
Other: I'll be available to start beta-ing after June 1. We can arrange for you to send me things in May, but I won't be able to start on them until June.

Hey, it's HAP again. I did this anonymously, so I can't edit the original comment, but my email address has changed. Please use largespacetart @ gmail dot com. (You can check my AO3 profile to confirm that I actually have made this change.) And, hey, it's June now! So I'm totally open for betaing.

Is there anything you can't beta? (Length, content, etc.) I don't do ABO, incest, or pedophilia. I'm not bothered by dub-con/non-con or super dark themes most of the time. I can do a general beta of anything if you're not looking for fandom canon picking.

AO3 Name: kanadka
Fandoms: Will beta any fandom, especially if it's just a SPAG and style/pacing issues read. For content, I'm most familiar with: most live-action TV sci-fi, HP, Leverage, MCU, GOT/ASOIAF, a handful of video games. But I'm loosely familiar with a bunch more and will happily pick up relatively short canons, too.
