Festibility is Open! Also Beta Pool

[access_fandom_mods]

Festibility is open! There are already several great fanworks in the Prompt Post. Keep posting prompts and threaded responses in comments!



Banners for the fest (now with copy and paste code!) made by eruthros are available in this post.

Please feel free to post fanworks or links to fanworks in direct posts in the community.

Comment here if you would like to volunteer as a beta. You may wish to specify fandoms or types of works you specialize in (fic, vids, etc), or other details.

Also comment here if you are seeking a beta. It helps if you describe the fanwork you are creating, so potential betas will have an idea about whether they’re a good fit.

Volunteering Beta: OCD, ADD, atypical depression

[rhivolution]

Volunteering myself as a beta with regards to OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), ADD (attention deficit disorder), atypical depression, and...well, stuff that goes with, including meds issues. My personal experience is only in the US (pediatric, adult) and UK (adult).

Works: I've only betaed fic before, but I'd gladly beta meta. Also, I'm a media studies student so I figure I could probably beta a vid.

Fandoms: I'd be glad to provide a general beta for nearly anyone, regardless of fandom. More of my fandoms and interests can be found by poking about (or just ask), but in scanning the prompts list, I know the following canons well enough to provide character beta:
Doctor Who
Star Trek: TOS, TNG, AOS
the Vorkosigan saga
Terminator (first two films)
X-Men movieverse (first two)
Leverage
Merlin
Firefly
The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

Contact: Here, via message, or at rhiannonrevolts, gmail as the server.

Offer to Beta

I have some general knowledge of disability theory and personal knowledge of chronic illness and pain as disabilities. I'm also good with grammar.

I am willing to beta fic and meta. My fandoms are:
Firefly
Buffy
Angel
Stargate: Atlantis
Battlestar: Galactica
ST: Deep Space Nine and Reboot
Dark Angel
Avatar: the Last Airbender
True Blood
Leverage

And possibly others! Contact me via PM or comment.

I can't provide a general beta, but I'd be glad to beta for disabilities alone. Any fandom is fine. I live in the U.S.

Disabilities:
Visual impairment. (I'm partially sighted.)
Mania. (I've been bipolar too, though that was a couple of decades ago.)
Severe Internet addiction.
Chronic swelling.
Inability to sit. (Not that that's likely to show up in a story.)

If you want to contact me, please e-mail me.

I can beta for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and ADD. I would probably be more helpful with fanart.

Question: I have a few spare spoons. Would it be okay/helpful if I did an index post to compile links to the Festibility fanworks as they're posted?

[sasha_feather]

That would be SO AWESOME, Rydra! Please do so!!

[rydra_wong]

Coolness! I'm repeatedly checking the flat version of the prompts post to catch new fics anyway, so it's low-effort for me to add them to an index. And my Aspie brain finds this sort of this soothing when it doesn't eat my life and involve W*ll Sh*tt*rl*y, anyway.
