Beta Resource Post

[luciferxdamien]

Posting time is nearly upon us and if you are still in need of a beta-reader, I've gathered up some resources for everyone to check out. Please note that I have not personally used any of these, and your results may vary!

If none of these work or pan out for you, please get in contact with me ASAP and I will see what I can do to help you find a beta reader.

A note on beta reading: You can choose the level of beta-reading you want, from hardcore story critiquing, to just a second pair of eyes for catching spelling and grammar errors. If you do not want to have your story heavily beta-read, this is fine! But please do get a second person to read through and help catch the spelling and grammar errors.

DCU Bang Discord server This is probably the best place to find a beta reader for this particular fanfiction challenge!

However, if Discord is not something you use, here are some more places to check out!

Beta Please - DreamWidth is probably going to be the best and easiest place to find a beta reader. It seems to be the most used community for finding a beta reader!

Beta Search A fairly active LiveJournal community for finding a beta reader!

Find Me A Beta - LiveJournal this is another fairly active community for finding a beta-reader!

Fan Writers Room A new DreamWidth community offering beta reading services!

FanFiction.net Beta-Readers There is of course Fanfiction.net for finding a beta-reader.

FanFiction Reddit Reddit has a fairly active fanfiction community and might be a way to get a beta-reader!

Beta Reader Wanted If Tumblr is more your speed, check out this blog!

Fanlore - Beta Resources For some more resources, check out the Fanlore entry on beta resources!

DCU Bang Resource Post There is also the resource post the precious DCU Bang mod put together. There is a lot of good stuff in here!

As I said before, I have not personally used any of these communities to get a beta reader, so your results may vary. If you have any other suggestions, leave them in the comments and I’ll add them to the list!

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please get in contact with me ASAP, I’m here to help! You can always contact me via the Page-A-Mod post, email, or messaging me on Discord.

Claims Closed!

[luciferxdamien]

Hello everyone!

Claims have closed as have artist/fanworker sign-ups! We're in the final stretch here. October 1st is the mandatory check-in for authors and artists. What this means is that all Solo, Tandem, and Traditional track authors and/or artists will need to pick a posting date.

Posting dates will begin October 15th and run until November 18th. Each day will have 3 slots, once those slots fill up, I will not be making exceptions to add another author or author/artist group to that date. The last few days of the posting period (November 15th-18th) tend to fill up very fast! It's beneficial have your work done early, so that you have your pick of dates and don't need to hurry and scramble for one of the last few posting days.

I recommend getting ready to post by about October 15th, when posting begins. If you're not quite ready by then, this is okay, you can choose a later date, but it's a good idea to be ready, or almost ready, to post by the middle of October.

Solo track participants can drop out at anytime without consequences. Tandem track teams can drop out together as a team at any time without consequences. Traditional track authors and artists can face consequences for dropping out at this stage, but if you have an issue, please get in contact with me ASAP so we can work something out.

Since we are entering the homestretch, if you do not have a beta reader already, I've put together a resource post for that, which can be found right here. Other options for finding a beta reader are of course by using the DCU Bang Discord server where we have a channel already set up just for finding beta readers!

If you still have some writing left to do, consider starting or joining a writing sprint on the Discord server. We're going to be hosting a lot of sprints, and artists are even encouraged to join, to have some structured drawing/creating time with the group!

As always, if you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in contact with me, either via the Page-A-Mod post, email, or messaging me on Discord.
