Once Upon a Fic Exchange

Hello! We hope everyone is enjoying their ideas for their assignment and (optionally) treats.

Works are due at 11:59pm CDT, Sunday May 8.

Betas
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 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
-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.

Getting your fic beta'd is not a requirement in this exchange.

However, getting or offering a second opinion on a story is a) a great way to improve your work and also b) a neat way to engage with other people taking part in OUaF.

If you can volunteer to look at someone's story, please fill out the following details in a comment to this post:

<strong>Name:</strong> <strong>How to contact me:</strong> <strong>Canons I will beta for:</strong> <strong>I will check spelling and grammar for a story regardless of the canon:</strong> Yes / No [delete one] <strong>Content I won't read, or require warning for:</strong> <strong>Other notes:</strong>

Your AO3 name is helpful if you are signed up to this challenge. If you aren't, double thanks to you for helping out. Hope you enjoy your advance viewing of the stories!

Possibly worth mentioning: what formats, like google docs or .rtf, you can read/annotate; how long you need for what lengths of story; any specific periods of time during which you are or aren't available.

• Sign-up summary that tells you what was requested this year


• All the requests on AO3


• The Google spreadsheet of sources for this year's canons

Thanks again!
