I know a lot of you are probably finishing up your Wankfest entries right now, and sending them off to your betas. If you are lucky enough to have one, that is. But what if you don't?
Fortunately, the HP fandom seems blessed with a goodly number of generous and talented folks who are often willing to perform this service. We (the mods, that is) just don't know who all of you are.
So, please consider this post as a sort of clearing house. If you are willing to beta read a piece or two, please post here to let people know. It might be wise to include any squicks or characters you aren't willing to read. You don't have to be an entrant to be a beta. Watchers and other interested parties are most welcome, of course, and this is a great way to be involved in the fest. (Believe me, betas really help the process.)
If you need a beta, you're also welcome to post here. You don't have to give away the nature of your fic -- you could just say about how long it is and what you need help with, and then work out the details when you find someone.
We're hoping this post can serve as sort of a meet-up station for betas (you wonderful, blessed creatures) and the writers who need them.
Thanks for your attention. You may now return to your regularly scheduled program.
