Assignments are sent! & Beta Resources

[dark_administrator]

Hello doers of darkness -- thank you again for signing up for Kaleidoscope! All assignments have been sent. If you signed up for Kaleidoscope and have not received an email about your assignments, please leave a comment here, contact us at darkadmn AT gmail DOT com, or PM us at darkadmn/dark_administrator.

If you've written a Dear Doer of Darkness letter, please leave a link here or just browse through the post for inspiration.

As assignments period begins, it's time to start thinking about betas. We have a Chromatic Beta mailing list that participants can utilize. However, we would like to also organize a Kaleidoscope-specific beta resources post so that there are more opportunities for participants to find a beta.

To that end, if you can offer beta services for any of the nominated fandoms or cultures, ethnicities, languages, religions or other identities with which these sources deal, please leave a comment with the following information:

Contact information: e-mail address, Dreamwidth/LiveJournal/etc.
account, IM account and/or other kind of communication tool.
Type of fanworks you can beta: artworks, graphics, stories and/or vids.
Relevant information: fandoms, cultures, ethnicities, languages, religions or other identities for which you can beta and any other information.

Thank you for your help!

Email: paxpinnae@gmail.com
G-chat: same
Types of Fanworks I can beta: For fanfic, I can do character, SPAG, and plot beta for any of the below fandoms. I'm willing to do SPAG and coherency beta for just about anything.
Fandoms: The Boondocks, Coffee Prince, Capital Scandal, N.K. Jemisin - The Effluent Engine, N.K. Jemisin - The Inheritance Trilogy, My Lovely Sam-Soon, Y Tu Mama Tambien
Cultural Info: I can beta for Catholicism, Latin, French, and Texas/the American South. FWIW, while I'm a white American, I'm also capable of doing a passable surface-level beta for modern Korean culture (Credentials: four years of 1st and 1.5 gen Korean roommates), though not of Korean history or language.

*sigh* Not sure if this is how it works, but yes, I can do it. Didn't sign up more formally because my exams are closing in uncomfortably, but I'm sure one beta job can't hurt. :)
