Willing To Beta

[briarwood.livejournal.com]

One of the rules of spn_summergen is fics must be beta-read. There are lots of places you can find a beta: spn_betas is a great community, and a request for help from your friends list is also a good place to start.

But just in case an alternative is needed, this post will collect details for anyone who wants to volunteer as a beta for spn_summergen stories.

Writers, if you think you might need a beta I recommend you bookmark or track this post so you can come back here when you need to.

If you are willing to beta, please comment with the following information:

Name:
How would you prefer to be contacted? e.g. email address, LJ message, comment - your call.
What kind of help can you offer? e.g. grammar/spelling, characterisation, Brit-picking, etc.
What characters/genres do you prefer?
Any restrictions: Anything you can't or won't look at (e.g. will not read death fics)

Copy/paste from the box below into a comment:

Willing to Pinch-Hit

[briarwood.livejournal.com]

I know, assignments haven't even gone out yet! But several people have said they want to pinch-hit rather than sign up in the normal way. This post is for those who want to join our pinch-hitters list.

What is a pinch-hitter? We want everyone who signed up to get a fic, art or vid in return. But sometimes people can't make their assignments. RL gets in the way, or other problems can happen, or maybe the assignment is just taking too long to complete. When that happens, we need someone to take over the assignment for the person who has had to withdraw.

Pinch-hitters are the folks who take over. They are heroes! It means being able to write or create to very tight deadlines, although we'll give you as long as we possibly can for pinch-hit requests. Pinch-hitters are the people who make sure no one goes away from this challenge disappointed. It's a lot of fun if you have the right temperament for it.

Are you willing? Sign-up below!

Note: there is absolutely no obligation when you comment here. When we have a request that needs a pinch-hitter, we'll send out a message or an email and you can claim it, or not. Signing up just gets you on the list. You can quit at any time.

To sign-up as a pinch-hitter, just comment with the following information:

Name:
How would you prefer to be contacted? email address or LJ message*
What kind of pinch-hitting can you offer? Art / Fic / Vids
What characters/genres do you prefer?

Note: If you select LJ message as a contact method please, please, please make sure your LJ settings allow messages from non-friends! Or that you have pinkfinity and myself friended. We can't PM you if you've blocked us!

And here's a handy copy/paste version:
