yuletide | Beta readers: offering to be one, finding one

Here is an unofficial form to offer to be a beta, for spelling, punctuation, and grammar (SPAG) only; non-English languages; areas of expertise, including locations; and/or specific fandoms. Include a machine-readable email address and you'll get a copy of your answers and the link to edit your responses in a handy reference email.

Here is the spreadsheet where responses are collected and, when time permits, manually indexed.

If you need a beta for something that no-one's offered on the spreadsheet yet, you can (1) try the Discord; and/or (2) post here ANONYMOUSLY to say "I could really use a beta about X!" and see if anyone adds something to the spreadsheet or comments here to give your their contact information.

(If you also want to post some/all of the information you submit to the spreadsheet, here in the comments, feel free! Or just post here in the comments, up to you, but I will not be transferring that information over to the sortable spreadsheet.)

Let me know if you have any questions!

Would anyone be up for betaing a fic in Nine Coaches Waiting - Mary Stewart?

I'm not doing Yuletide, and can help with SPAG. How long is the fic--do you want me to drop my email?

Could anyone help me with a story for Sleeping with Other People?

Yes, please! Thank you!

I've put myself down on the spreadsheet as well :) I'm down for things around or below 10K, but can a bit of leeway.

Looking for a beta for a Spy fic (the Melissa McCarthy movie). Spelling/grammar are not an issue -- this would be more of a structural beta than a copy-edit. Ideally, I'm looking for someone who is familiar with Bond and related works, as Spy the movie is a parody of these. Thank you!

Hi! I've seen Spy, and the Daniel Craig Bond movies, I'd be happy to help!
My email is booksareourlove@gmail.com but you can also message me on thespacebetweenworlds.tumblr.com (both is fine!)

Seeking a beta who is familiar with Jacobean drama and is okay with reading explicit, consensual sibling incest.

I'm familiar with it (and with 'Tis Pity and Duchess of Malfi in particular, if you're referring to either of those). Would you like to talk via email or discord?

Email, please! Could you leave your address here so I can reach out to you?

I wrote a story, was ready to post, then panicked because I'm not entirely sure that the story respects my person's DNW list. I think it does, but as a non-neurotypical person who sometimes sees things very differently from others, I'd like some reassurance that I'm not going to break someone's Yuletide.

Story is under 1500 words.

I can do that--email knepveu@steelypips.org !

Thank you! Noted and sent!

Seeking beta for a Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Yuletide gift, about 2500 words, no obvious warnings. Canon knowledge a plus, but for those without it I have a digest of what you need to know.

Requester adding: a complete draft is posted, so I'm not up against the posting deadline; I have until reveals to polish it up.

I'll need the digest, but can help. What exactly are you looking for?

ETA: mysticphoenyxcafe at the gmails is the best way to pounce

Edited (added email addy because telepathy is unreliable for this sort of thing) 2021-12-18 04:10 (UTC)

Will contact you. What I'm looking for is a general due-diligence check: spag, story logic, etc.

Kyool! That I can do. Will keep an eye out.
