desireearmfeldtGreetings all! Hopefully you’re getting excited about your assignments—we’re looking forward to seeing what everyone makes!
If you have not yet emailed us to confirm your assignment and email address, please do so! We’re going to check in with you via email on Nov 1, so we want to make sure we know the right address to use. Email the mods at dsss.admin AT gmail DOT com with the following info: 1) your AO3 handle, 2) your recipient’s AO3 handle, 3) what email address the mods should use to contact you.
TYK to all of you we’ve already heard from!
Now, let’s talk about betas!
This post is a resource for any of you curious about the whys and hows of the beta-ing process. We hope this post will help you understand why we require you to use a beta, and give you some tips about how to get the most out of the experience.
If you’re not sure how/where to find a beta, check out the beta volunteer posts on LJ and Tumblr. (Sadly, our attempt to make a single master-list didn’t quite work as planned, so do check both places!)
( What’s the big deal about betas? )
( Why do we have to use betas for due South Seekrit Santa? )
( Getting the Most Out of the Beta Relationship )
Have Fun & Don’t Stress Out!
This post would be a lot shorter if the author had used a beta. :)
