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.
