2015 Beta Sign Ups

[http://users.livejournal.com/traycer_/]

Most people will already have their own beta reader, but hey, maybe they want to try someone new. A beta reader is a person who reads another person's written work with a critical eye, with the aim of improving grammar, spelling, characterization, and general style of a story before the author posts it up. All participants must get their fiction beta’d by at least one person.

Beta volunteer: Can we get some lovely volunteers to help our writers out? Betas are love, so comment below with the following text! Comments are unscreened.

<b>User name:</b> <b>Email:</b> <b>Preferred Fandoms/Pairings:</b> <b>Is there any type of fiction you would prefer to avoid beta'ing?</b> <b>What are your strengths as a beta reader?</b> <b>What kind of turn around time can someone expect from you?</b>

Need a beta: If you are in need of a beta, then drop a note or just directly contact someone that volunteers below by replying to their comments.

Huh. Well that's weird. I checked it on all my devices and it's there for me, even when I am not signed in. Can you check again, and if still not there, any ideas on how to make it work?

Thanks!!!

I think the issue might be on your end. I looked at the page logged out in two other browsers, and it's still not showing up. Sometimes putting quotation marks in HTML tags screws up the post for me; maybe that's the issue? Or could the picture be private or password-protected? Or barred from hot-linking?

Okay, the plot thickens . . . I took out the quotation marks and saved the entry, only to find that LJ automatically put them back in!! I'll have to check with red_b_rackham to find out what else I can try, as she was the one who created the picture.

In the meantime, it appears I have a mystery to solve! :)

Thanks for letting me know!!

It's working now!

FWIW, I have mod access to the community (from when IR transferred everything het-reccers-related over to me last year, although y'all can remove me if you want), so it's not an LJ privacy setting thing. I think.

Yay!! I was spending all kinds of time trying to figure out what went wrong. I'm so glad to hear it's fixed!

Thanks again!!
