once_upon_ficWarm greetings, 2021 participants! This is the Beta Volunteer Post!
Betas are not required for this exchange, but they can be a great asset to your story. A beta can help find 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 and have fun! Your valuable service is immensely appreciated.
If you're into betaing and want to help out, 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
-what canons you know, or are willing to familiarise yourself with (see this year's sources 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
___
If you do not want to offer your contact details on this post for privacy reasons, you can use the moderators as a go-between. Just make sure you're mentioning that in your comment *and* send us the contact info so we can actually contact you. Thank you! Anonymous comments are on, but you need to give contact details - either so we can unscreen your comment directly, or so mods know how to contact you and what info is relevant to re-post.

what canons you know, or are willing to familiarise yourself with: all of them (i'm familiar with most fairytales and will do a canon review if needed)
anything you can't beta (by length, content, timing, etc): N/A; i'd like a warning for underage and non-con but i'm willing to beta anything
what kind of beta services you offer: SPAG, continuity, themes, and so on. i'm also willing to be a sounding board if you need advice about plot/execution/etc. i tend toward brutal honesty, but can adapt if you need a different approach.
Bonus:
any specific expertise you can offer advice on: sports (specifically, baseball)???
document formats you prefer: Pages (Mac) and Google Docs
