You may be familiar with the Big Bang, but if youāre curious:
A Big Bang is a challenge that encourages writers to create long stories within a certain time frame and artists to create works to pair with those stories. Basically, the fandom gets a lot of long stories and awesome art all at the same time! All ships and gen stories are welcome, along with AUs, crossovers, fusions, all genres and ratings. If youād like to sign up to volunteer to beta for some of the writers, feel free to sign upāweāll make sure you edit in a way that works for you and that you get matched with a story that you can be excited about!
There are three beta types that you can indicate on your sign-up, including a combination of all of the above, or just a couple that you feel most comfortable with:
A developmental beta would like to help create the plot and help the writer shape the story. Youād be involved in the process, including things like helping the author through their various ideas, through any plot/writerās block, or whatever else the writer might need!
A basic beta is editing for spelling/grammatical errors, or things like consistency in the story. Youād basically be line-reading the story to make sure that itās as neat and correct as it can be!
A cheerleading beta is cheering for the writer to keep going! Youād read the story, pump the writer up, cheer them on, help them work through writerās block, and so on!
Of course, each writer/beta relationship is different, so you can talk that out with your writer!
If you have any further questions, please check out this more specific FAQ, and if you canāt find the answer there, then please feel free to get in touch! More details can be found on the main page, including the schedule, past submissions, and the past beta list! Get excited!
