Beta-request post for Racebending Revenge Challenge
For Authors:
This post is where you can request for a beta with familiarity with a specific culture, race or ethnicity. Please remember that no beta, no matter how informed in their area of expertise, speaks for the entire range of people with that identity. They can help you spot some problems in your story, but their opinion of it does not equate to how everyone else should react to it. In addition, please do not dump the entire burden of accuracy on your beta; most people are far more willing to assist you when you can prove you have been proactive with your own research and self-education.
You can also look over the beta resource list generated for![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
yuletide, although we cannot promise that the people who volunteered then might still be available or willing.
If you are unsure of what you need, it might help to summarise the context of your story and what you are looking for help with, along with a way that a beta can contact you (email, private message etc).
For Betas:
Please consider leaving a comment with a little information about your background, identity or area of study as you feel it might pertain to the someone's need of your input, along with the preferred way you would like an author to get in touch with you (email, private message, etc).
If anyone has beta requests or offers that they would prefer to keep quiet, you can contact the mods for go-between assistance by emailing us at darkadmn AT gmail DOT com.
