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.

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.

Willing to offer beta services, check a story for canon compliance, or help cheerlead someone through the Fandom 5K writing process? Can you help as a subject matter expert for a language, location, or specialized area of knowledge? Fill out this Google Form to add your name to the list! You can specify what type of services you're offering, which fandoms you're interested in, and whether there's any content you're unwilling to read.

Looking for a beta reader, canon compliance checker, or someone to cheerlead you and help brainstorm plot ideas? You can find the list of offers here.

All form responses will go to the Raw Form Responses tab automatically. I’ll convert these to a more readable format on the other tabs, but that might take a little time.

kate_nepveu was kind enough to let me copy and modify the template she uses for Yuletide beta offers. Please let me know if there are any issues with the form or the spreadsheet.

Hello, everyone! We hope the writing is going well. It’s time for some housekeeping and general reminders.

First, the no-penalty default deadline is in about one week: 1 April at 11:59 PM, EST. There’s a countdown here.

Second, on 2 April, we’ll open a post here for the mandatory check-in. By 8 April, you must leave a simple comment on that post to let us know you’re still committed to the exchange. Anyone who doesn’t comment will be defaulted automatically at the end of the check-in period.

If you’ll be unable to check in with us during that time, please contact us in advance at fandom5kmod@gmail.com.

Third, a quick reminder that if you’re looking for a beta or cheerleader, or you’re interested in beta-reading or cheerleading for someone else, the beta post is here.

And, finally, a huge thank-you to our pinch hitters! We have two pinch hits outstanding. You can check them out and sign up at this post.
