so, what exactly does a beta reader or buddy do?
okay… so is this event mandatory?
how exactly will this work?
and how long will this event last?
so, what exactly does a beta reader or buddy do?either way, a beta is someone who reads a writer's story and helps them by proofreading, editing, finding loopholes or anything else that the writer may think is lacking or needs some revising in the story. but! a beta reader is someone who has not claimed a prompt or maybe has claimed one but is simply offering their services to help a fellow writer out. a beta buddy is someone who has claimed a prompt and is willing to beta someone else's story but would like to have their own story beta'd in return.
okay… so is this event mandatory?nope! this event is not mandatory. it's simply to help another writer out and possibly make new friends throughout the process! (if you didn't know, this is how the two mods found each other and became friends! mod sour was a writer and mod sweet was her beta ♥)
how exactly will this work?below, there is a form to fill out if you would like to offer your wonderful beta services. just fill it out in a comment below and everything will be unscreened so you can look through the comments and see if a beta catches your eye. this will allow the writer to personally contact the beta reader/buddy themselves. though, if there are any issues, such as the beta not responding within a certain amount of time, please direct them to our attention immediately so we may sort things out.
and how long will this event last?this event will be open until the last day of postings all the way in december! so, from today onward, this post will be open for all our writers and betas to look through.
