2017 Beta Readers Post

[galfridian]

Expect your assignments to arrive within the next ten minutes or so.

For now, let's open this year's beta readers post.

While we do not require stories to have a beta reader, we strongly recommend it.

If you're volunteering as a beta, please comment here! Tell us:

• Which fandoms you can work in (full list of Crossovering fandoms)


• How to contact you: email, @Twitter, Tumblr, Skype, PM on LJ/DW, etc.


• If you're offering SPAG, worldbuilding, character, or plot help ... or all four!


• An estimate of what your turnaround time is


• Your dealbreakers, aka what you won't beta, e.g., violence, non-con, cheating, mushrooms, talking animals, etc.

Looking for a beta but none of the volunteers have listed your fandom(s)? You can leave an anonymous comment here listing the fandoms you need help with. Do not reveal other details of your assignment.

Anonymous comments will be unscreened and can be replied to by beta volunteers with their contact info.

If you're looking for a beta and are worried about revealing your assignment, you can email the mods, and we'll act as go-between on your behalf.

Assignments + Pinch Hits

[galfridian]

Assignments have been sent! You should receive an email from AO3 with your assignment details. Your assignment will also be listed on your Assignments page, which you can locate by going to your AO3 profile (http://archiveofourown.org/users/your_username_here) and clicking on "Assignments" in the left column.

We have 5 initial pinch hits. You can view these here. If you are not a member of the pinch hit list, you can go to this link and click join, or you can send a blank e-mail to crossovering-ph+subscribe@googlegroups.com. Make sure you have your preferences set to Send me an e-mail for every new message.

All pinch hits claims will be done through the Google group.

( Pinch Hits #1-5 Details. (Claim @ Google group.) )

The Requests Summary will remain open throughout the creation period. Participants and nonparticipants are welcome to choose from among the prompts to create treats. Treats do not have any minimum requirements and should be tagged as Crossovering Treat when posted to the archive.

Now that assignments have been sent, all letters should be unlocked so that artists and authors can see their recipients requests. If your recipient still has a placeholder or has not unlocked their letter, please let us know, and we will contact them.
