Betas
Betas are not required for this exchange, but they can be very helpful. A beta can help find connective bits you missed, tease out the strengths of a story, or offer insights on improvement.

Even if you aren't writing in this exchange, betaing for others is a great way to participate! Your valuable service is immensely appreciated.

If you want to help out as a beta, please reply in a comment to this post. The following information may be helpful:

-a name (especially if you're signed up - give your AO3 name to ensure you aren't asked to beta your own gift)

-how to contact you (we recommend email, but other options are possible)

-what canons you know, or are willing to familiarise yourself with (see the source spreadsheet and the sign-up summary showing which stories were requested).

-if there is anything you can't beta (by length, content, timing, etc)

-what kind of beta services you offer


Bonus:
-any specific expertise you can offer advice on
-document formats you prefer
