Poll result

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

The poll result wasn't quite as clear as last time, but there were still 40% for 'right away' vs. 26% for sign-ups in mid-November. Since the second option is pretty much the worst one from a modly perspective (because I can already imagine all the family- and Christmas-related drop-outs at the last minute if the deadline is during everyone's Christmas vacation), we'll go with 'right away'.  I'm aware that December is a very busy time for everyone, but I'm sure there will be another exchange early next year for all those of you who won't be able to participate now.

That means that I'll post the sign-up post tonight, and leave it open until Friday next week (October 26th).
The assignments will be sent out on October 28th.
The deadline will be on Sunday, December 16th.
Posting will start on Monday, December 17th.

Because there are always people asking me on Friday night if they can still sign up: the sign-ups are open until I put a big red "sign-ups are closed" on the post. Until then you can still sign up, even if it's technically already Saturday wherever you live.

If there are any questions or problems, feel free to comment here or send me a message.


For anyone who missed it, here's the link to the comment fic meme.

Beta readers for round five

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

If you're willing to beta read for other writers in the exchange, please fill in the little form down there.

Dear writers, I strongly suggest that you have someone beta your fic, unless you have absolute confidence in your ability to catch all your typos and mistakes on your own.


Beta sign-up:

Your name?
How can you be contacted?
What kinds of feedback can you give? (spelling, grammar, style, characterisation etc.)
Are there any fics (genres, characters, pairings) you refuse to beta read?
Anything else?
