No stupid questions! Promise.
As far as betas go the authors are free to find a beta for their work however they wish. We won’t assign betas to authors.
If they need help finding a beta they will have access to the list with all the beta’s that have signed up and they can contact them directly and work it out with them.
We do this so that authors and betas will be better matched. Even if given a summary of their fic with tags, the author is the only one that truly knows what is going on in the story, we don’t want to assign betas only to find out that the author put in a squick or trigger the beta may have forgot to mention.
By taking it into their own hands the authors and betas have a better chance of finding a more suitable match for their story and we avoid the possibility of a beta regretting signing up or even dropping out.
We truly do not want that to happen because we want this to be fun and enjoyable for every participant involved.
We hope tat this answers your question. If not please let us know and we will be happy to clarify further.
