xforesttree asked:

Hey, a beta here, when's our deadline? Because of life events I couldn't match my author's deadline of the 1st of April. I've got 4.5 chapters left to check, the other's have been re-evaluated by my author already.

Hi there! This is an excellent question, one we are happy to answer!

Beta’s have no deadline to us. As a beta your deadline is to your author and their posting date (which will be announced tomorrow). The most recent draft submission and check in for authors was a simple reminder and assurance that they will be ready when posting begins in less than a month. 

So beta’s need not worry about meeting the authors check in dates, only the self imposed ones. Ideally as a beta you will have the beta work done with enough time for the author to check it and accept or reject any edits made. How much time that requires is up to each author individually. 

We hope that this helps answer your question. If you need any more clarification please don’t hesitate to contact us again, remember, communication is key!

So, I was going over the rules again and noticed the first author chek-in is feb 10th and I was wondering: Do we need a beta at that point? and on the subject of betas, I would like one if you got one hidden somewhere :)

Excellent question. The time in which you get a beta is truly up to you. Just keep in mind that everyone works at a different pace so be sure they have plenty of time to look over your entire fic and you have time to implement changes you want from their suggestions. Having a beta by check in time, although recommended, is not mandatory. 

We just sent out an e-mail to all authors with a list of the betas that signed up. Feel free to take a look and contact one that would be compatible to your story. 

All authors: If you did not receive the e-mail that went out today with the beta list please let us know. 

If you have any further questions please contact us. Remember, communication is key.

Beta’s

Those of you who have signed up as a beta for the DCJ Big Bang will be receiving an e-mail today or tomorrow confirming that you are signed up as a beta. Please keep an eye out for it!

Authors: If you are in need of a beta and wish to have one that has signed up specifically for this bang we will be sending out an e-mail with a link to our list of beta’s so that you can take a look and find someone that is compatible with your story and contact them.
We were going to post a link for ease of access but feel it is better to keep it private in the case that one or more beta’s would not like their e-mail address shared publicly.

theydraggedmein asked:

Right, stupid question time: Are you guys going to set up those who sign up as authors with betas/artist?

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.
