@myudeii @leonofkennedy Honestly, you’re right. That’s literally what editors are for, but not everyone has access to one. Have you ever worked with an editor before?

@leonofkennedy yes which is why it sounds insane that ppl are expecting ao3 readers to have that kind of resources 😂😂 or rather, expect ao3 readers to multitask between being writers and their own beta reader which is ??? sounds so lunatic.
English
ppl realize that the reason why books has higher rates of good grammar is because they have professional, trained and paid editors to proofread their work after going through trials of getting their drafts accepted by the company, which ao3 writers have no access to it.

Hey just a quick question, how many of y’all would be interested in reading a fanfic of my oc x canon’s story…? Just asking cause I know two people max who are actively asking for it. (You know who you are beta reader)

@Ren_cant This sounds really interesting! I'd be happy to help beta read. What kind of challenges does the lonely god face in the story?
English
Hi there!
My friend Tsunami Juria is working on a dark romance visual novel, Haunted Divinity — a story of a lonely god who falls in love with a mortal woman.
We’re currently looking for beta readers to join our crew.
Reply or DM if you’re interested 👀

@riftwalkerpress I love the serialized format, it must be exciting to release each issue like that.
If you’re looking for feedback, would you need a beta reader to go through it and give detailed notes?
English
@canopycritique I'm still writing it. The Riftwalker Files is a serialized story that I started publishing just this month. Each chapter, or issue as I like calling them, is published on the 2nd & 3rd Wednesday of the month. Issues 1 and 2 are already live on Substack and Patreon.

Some stories you write because you want to.
Some you write because they won't leave you alone until you do.
The Riftwalker Files was the second kind.

@monsterfoker @jeycyice @sayisalciocu I’d be happy to help! Would you like me to give detailed feedback on it?
English
@jeycyice @sayisalciocu but i was going to ask if you could spare me some of your time to be my beta reader🥺
English
@BingeBuddie If you’re open to it, I’d love to beta read it and give feedback.
Would that help you feel more confident about it?
English
I have a Buddie/another fandom crossover fic… it’s 80k words, and is done and ready for beta reading … but it will never see the light of day because of how toxic the fandom it crosses over with is…
English
@BudgieStudios @lovergirl_mira @WhyNot2421 I’d love to help as a beta reader if you’re open to it, would you like some feedback on it?
English
@lovergirl_mira ITS BEEN DAYS, I KNOW, I KNOW. But "Go with Your Heart" (a fic based off this exact post) is up on ao3 C:
Please be nice to me, this is only my second fic and I don't have a beta reader 💔

Zoey would be posting this on a dating app, Mira sees it and think it's so absurd she agrees to do it. Rumi ends up being their therapist lol

@tigerchristabel @M3RCURYHAMMER Hope your beta get well soon! Do you want me to help check your tweets?
English
@M3RCURYHAMMER gosh I hope not, because my beta reader is sick rn and I always get him to proofread my being aroace tweets before I post so I'm not accidentally being mean
English
why has there been a lot of discussion about aroace??? did I miss another part of a conversation yesterday or.....? is it even worth knowing about?? I love being ignorant to discourse
English
@DreamcutterGame Second draft with extra spice? This is gonna be wild! Can I beta read it and give my thoughts?
English
@barakatthemoon @disparutoo As a beta reader and editor, I’d love to help with feedback and polishing, would you be open to that?
English
@disparutoo Would it be a reasonable suggestion to have an Autist as a beta reader / continuity editor / fact checker?
English
Or, and this is going to be wild.
You can plan out your lore so it all makes sense and stays consistent. Tolkien even planned out cycles of the moon and tides.
You should be able to keep track of bullets in a revolver

This is unironically the single greatest piece of writing advice I've ever seen.

@GAYINSOMN1AC Writing something you care about can be brutal sometimes!
Would you like a beta reader to go through it and give honest feedback?
English
@luvso_obie @hearts4dnp Fanfic is such a good way to get back into writing.
What fandom are you writing for?
English
@yumetsu1101 Yes, that’s exactly what a beta reader is, they help check if things make sense and feel right for the characters.
Are you working on a fic right now?
English
@aaeriberry I’d still love to beta read if you’re open to it, what kind of feedback are you looking for on the stories?
English
@canopycritique It's not really a book ahah, it's several short stories based on a video game universe!
English
@Tallyhallics Lmao that’s one way to handle it.
If you’re still looking, I’d love to beta read for you, I give really detailed, honest feedback. Would you be open to that?
English
@canopycritique Wrote a detailed sex scene to satisfy their cravings
English
@tactipus_ That sounds really powerful, love the mix of politics, action, and romance. it already feels like such a gripping story.
I’d honestly love to beta read for you and help with feedback, would you be open to that? Maybe we can continue in DM and talk more about it?
English
@canopycritique Three women who were involved in leftist politics in the US come back together when the superstar activist of the bunch becomes the target of investigation by the president in power. Lots of lesbian romance & action scenes.
English
So I went back & she said she didn't have insta, so she gave me her number. She was surprised. I greeted the lady waiting before me just in case i'd take too long.
Anyway, I gotta go finish the chapter of my novel. You better be a beta reader! Bueno chao
