Beta Sign Ups 2014
This is the post for betas wanting to take part in the Big Bang.
The sign up post for betas will be up until the end of Big Bang!
We need both writing and art betas! If you are willing to offer your services as a beta, first let us say a hearty THANK YOU! Betas are an integral part of every Big Bang team since all works must be beta'd prior to posting.
There will be an additional post later down the road where writers and artists will be able to post in search of a beta (including what they need/are looking for) but that doesn't mean you have to wait! Anyone needing the services of a beta is encouraged to start looking through the sign ups here. If you find someone you think could work well with your fic/art please feel free to contact them directly.
We will not be matching betas with artists & writers but we will do all we can to make it as easy as possible for you to find each other.
Betas are not required to sign up in order to participate in the Big Bang. Sign ups are mostly a means to connect willing betas with needy creatives. Every artist & writer is required to have at least one beta for their work but is allowed as many betas they want/need.
You don't have to be a LJ user to sign up, but if you don't have an LJ account, please put your user name and the site you use (f.ex. tumblr, dA, FF.net) in this format 'namehere'@tumblr' in your comment and give us the link to your profile so that we know how to find you.
When giving your timezone please give the standard time zone! You can check your standard time zone from HERE by searching your home city! STZ can be found after you click the name of the city to the next page.
