2023 Beta Post

[wbv2mod]

This is a little early, but people are creating already, so why not?

At this post, you can volunteer to help someone shape and polish their work, or you can look for a volunteer beta who can help you do these things.

Please comment if you can offer constructive suggestions on fic, unusual fic formats/in-universe meta, or art, including: brainstorming ideas, checking canon compliance, giving specific editing suggestions, giving technical suggestions (ie, you may have expertise in using a particular art app), or supplying specialist knowledge.

In an offer, please specify:

• which fandoms, if any, you can help with


• the type of beta you can offer


• anything you can't beta


• how people can best contact you to ask for your help

Optional things to mention:
-if you have specific expertise, for example with music, textiles, branches of science, business processes
-document types you can and can't access
-timeframes

Thank you very much for offering!


If you are browsing this post for help and the help you want isn't available, you're welcome to contact the mods; we may be able to find assistance for you. Please do not compromise anonymity by posting a detailed beta request.

NB - We have also updated the pinch hit list! Please check out the available pinch hits up to number #9.
