Round 11: Beta Sign-ups

[cinema-mod.livejournal.com]

If you want to be a part of the challenge, but aren't a creator (or don't have time to create for your own film), consider being a beta reader/viewer! These are helpful for all types of fanworks to provide a review and constructive feedback on improvements.

For those who are unsure what the role of a beta is ... from wikipedia:
An alpha reader or beta reader (also spelled alphareader/betareader, or shortened to alpha/beta) is a non-professional reader who reads a written work, generally fiction, with the intent of looking over the material to find and improve elements such as grammar and spelling, as well as suggestions to improve the story, its characters, or its setting. Beta reading is typically done before the story is released for public consumption. Beta readers are not explicitly proofreaders or editors, but can serve in that context. Elements highlighted by beta readers encompass things such as plot holes, problems with continuity, characterisation or believability; the beta reader might also assist the author with fact-checking.

Betas are common to whip a fanwork into shape and for the creator to get an objective opinion on their pieces prior to submitting/posting. A beta read/viewing is not required for the draft submission, but is highly recommended prior to posting your works to the community on your scheduled posting day.

If you are interested in being a beta, please sign up below. Note that we will not be matching up betas with those in need; participants should contact the beta volunteer directly.
