In a lot of ways, the beta is the most important asset a writer has. The beta is the voice of sanity. Of reason and logic. Sometimes, the beta is also the voice of smack-down. Ouchie.

Good betas point out continuity flaws, typos, rough patches, tangled sentences, convoluted punctuation, and a whole host of other problems. They do all of this tactfully and carefully so that the writer doesn't go cry in the corner after deleting their story.

Great betas are enthusiastic and squeeful, and help push, pull and drag the writer over the finish line. They cheer on the writer, give constructive criticism, and generally are made out of glitter and intelligence.

If you think you can handle this, then copy the coding from the block below, and paste it into a comment. Then fill it out, telling us all about your wonderful beta super powers.

Things that might be your strengths or weaknesses: line-editing, plot, structure, characterization, grammar. Specialized knowledge, familiarity with specific canons.



If you are in need of a beta for your story, copy and paste the code below, filling in the relevant information:

Welcome to the sign up post for podficcers!

Remember that you can choose to podfic a story from the 2012 or 2013 rounds of [community profile] bandombigbang or another story that you have asked for and received permission to podfic. To make things easier, here is a list of 2012/2013 [community profile] bandombigbang authors that either opt-in for podfic or have some sort of permission statement. Additionally, you may find the Blanket Permission to Podfic Fanlore entry or [personal profile] knight_tracer's list of Bandom authors with Blanket Permission to Podfic helpful in selecting a story to podfic.

Sign up with the username you will use throughout the challenge and your email address. This year we are asking primary creators if they are interested in collaborating with their mixer or artist; this does not guarantee they will be willing to work with you, but we want to give people the opportunity if they want it.

If you don't have a DW/LJ account, leave an anonymous comment. Here is a helpful template for you to cut and paste:



Please make sure you have read the rules and the FAQ before signing up. By signing up, you are agreeing to follow the challenge rules. Please direct any questions or concerns to that post or to bandombigbang@gmail.com.

Tentative podfic choices are due February 26 and final project choices are due March 12. Podficcer check in is May 30 and completed podfics are due July 25. Posting will start July 28th.

We had a request for a beta post a few weeks ago. Since moving to Dreamwidth pretty much leaves [livejournal.com profile] bbbtalk defunct, we thought this might be a good idea.

So, here you go! If you need a beta or want to offer, leave a comment here. For clarity, we suggest titling your comment either BETA WANTED or BETA OFFERED. Don't forget to leave an email address!

If you are offering, please specify which bands, warnings, tropes, etc, you are/aren't willing to read. Letting people know if you specialize in SPAG, plot/flow, canon, or something else, or all of the above, is also helpful.

If you are requesting, try to keep it general for the fun of anon's sake (e.g., 'I need a beta for a 25,000 word MCR fic!'), but make sure that you give your beta warnings if someone does email you. You can also specify what kind of beta you need (SPAG, overall pacing, canon, whatever).

Hopefully this will help! Three of the mods are grammar fiends, so we're big proponents of getting your fic beta'd. ;)

We're about halfway there--rough drafts for Wave 1 are due May 10. Good writing and podficcing, everyone!

Attention authors who participated in Bandom Big Bang 2012!

Before we can put fic summaries up for podfic claims on March 3, we need your permission to podfic! If you wrote a fic last year and would like it to be offered for podficcing, please leave a comment with your name and fic title(s).

fine print )

Remember, you can sign up to podfic until June 7. Tell your friends! See y'all at the claims. ;)

ETA closed now! Thanks everyone!
