Re: Beta for Fanfiction

(Anonymous) 2012-07-28 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
I've always gotten mine from within the fandom, and usually within the pairing that I'm writing. When I first got into fandom, one of my first fandm friends (we fangirled like crazy over the same pairing) agreed to look over my first fic, and she turned out to be a great beta. After that, people would strike up convos with me in comments on fics (mine or theirs) and the requests/offers to beta would arise from (and often deepen) our friendships. I still beta for one of my friends even tho we're not in the same fandoms any longer.

If you don't have any possibilities right now, ask some of the writers you like if they'd be willing to look over your story. Be specific about what kind of critique you're looking for, like continuity, pacing, characterization, etc. and let them know what level of thoroughness you want. I tend to be a very thorough beta, which is exactly what some writers want, but which others might consider nit-picky. I appreciate knowing if someone just wants me to point out the most glaring errors (which takes a lot less time.)

tl:dr version is: it's rare to just find a good beta like a lucky penny. The best ones are relationships that you develop. Fortunately, they can develop pretty fast.
