I know we have e-mails to send to others, but should we put up a thread where we post any works needed and the betaers come by and pick it? I don't know and am confused.

I'm not working on anything at the moment, i just was wondering.

Perhaps posting these stories on one of the major fanfic sites and then sending each other the links would be a good idea. Or at least it would be for those who already have acounts on one of these sites because while the story is getting betaed they can also get opinion from any readers who decide to review the story.

E-mailing works best, I think, espcially if you only want your beta to see your work. Or you can upload it somewhere and send the URL to your beta.

well, i mean like you post an overview, like a summary and all it's components and yeah, just all the stuff about the story with out having to post up the whole story. then someone comes by and picks it or something like that sweatdrop i'm bad at these kinds of things.

just wondering cuz maybe we could post how we wanna be betaed because i know sometimes i want to know every single mistake i do, but did in other writings i like the person to be more gentle. Just an idea?

Maybe like a thread where you post up summaries of something you want betaed and... i'm so not good for this. but do everyone think?

There is a subforum planned for that, don't worry, you can choose to put up the whole story there chapter by chapter or just a summary and await an interested beta. smile

EDIT: 'The Library' is created.
