Hey guys! I still suck at time management, but that's no reason why we can't get things done around here.
Have a submission in the works but think that it might have some issues? Not feeling confident in your characterization, plot, or grammar? Well, that's what the betas are here for. This is a post for anyone who wants another few pairs of eyes to look over their piece before the big day.
Here's how I think we can do it: if you have not yet submitted your piece as a Fan Words publication, describe it in a comment here, and if a beta feels they have expertise in that area, they can respond to your comment and volunteer. You can then work out the details via PM. That, or if you have a specific beta in mind, you can ask for them, though keep in mind that it's a busy time for everyone.
If your piece has already been published as Fan Words, that's even easier. Just post a link to the piece, and the betas can make their way over there to take a look at it.
(That said, I'm wondering if it's fair for the other judges and myself to give feedback before the competition, so I don't know if we should abstain from this exercise or not. SomeGuy? Any opinions?)
I hope that everyone is able to get some useful feedback!
