Shai_ReddingHey, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WritersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WritersOfMastodon</a>, I wanted to do some free beta reading. How does one go about entering that space or marking oneself available as a reader? I checked out some sites, but many were paid services offered to authors. And the recommended Goodreads beta reading boards looked messier than my car after a roadtrip. Any suggestions? <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/readers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readers</a>, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writers</a>, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a>, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/betareader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#betareader</a>

shipA beta reader for my cql/mdzs - pacific rim fusion fic?I have a rough draft of 52K that I'm slowly editing through and would appreciate someone else eyeballing it for a good measure. Characterization should be fine, it's the plot holes and ending I'm slightly iffy about. SPaG not needed.This is five main chapters about 10K of length plus prologue and epilogue. The rating is E for a lil bit of smut and a lot of violence, POV LWJ, featuring pining, annoyingly indulgent LXC, exasperated WQ, perpetually angry JC, smart and scheming NHS, and self-sacrificing WWX--business as usual, that is.I prefer working over googleDocs even with the capitalism et al.PM me if this tickles your fancy!<a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/fanfic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fanfic</a> <a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/cql" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cql</a> <a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/TheUntamed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheUntamed</a> <a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/PacificRim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PacificRim</a> <a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/betareader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#betareader</a>

Sara Lobkovich, J.D., NBC-HWCSo the challenge I've given myself for this beta read is to get excited about every little "sleepy face" (which means a reader got bored) or "frowny face" (which means they disagree or didn't like something) someone reacts with in the manuscript -- because every one is a ✨neutral✨ bit of information that I can choose whether or not to use to help me make the book better. If you read that and you're like "duh" then you and I are wired differently<a href="https://thinkydoers.social/tags/BetaReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BetaReader</a> <a href="https://thinkydoers.social/tags/BetaReaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BetaReaders</a> <a href="https://thinkydoers.social/tags/AmWritingNonFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmWritingNonFiction</a>
