Takostation buddy service is back!
Hello, takobuddies! We'd like to inform that our buddy system is back! You can either sign in to be a beta/buddy or request one if you're one of our writers (* ^-^)人(^-^ *)
First of all what exactly is a beta and a buddy?
A beta is a reader, who non-professionally reviews a fic with the intention of improving the grammar and spelling of the fic. They could also help with the flow of the story, look out for any plot-holes, and help with characterization, settings, etc before posting. Betas can also provide help to the writers by discussing ideas, the direction of the story, or any other special needs the writer might have. In short, a beta is like a technical adviser.
On the other hand a buddy is someone the writer can rely on to talkrant about their fic. But there's no restriction! A beta can also be a buddy if they want to ˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙
This is how the beta/buddy system will work:
- Anyone interested in being a beta/buddy will sign in.
- We will collect the info to make it available to the writers. Your contact information will be hidden.
- If one of our writers is interested in this system, they will fill the beta/buddy request form (here).
- Then the beta/buddy and writer will wait for our reply.
And that's it.
If you're going to join us as a beta or writer please take in consideration the next things:
- You aren't allowed to talk about the fic to anyone, remember the fics are anonymous until the reveals.
- We don't take any responsability in what you talk in private. If you sign in, it means you agree to share with us your information, but your contact information's only purpose is to provide help to others. Don't make bad use of the information provided. Any of you. All of us trust in you guys.
- Don't go dissapearing on your writer because you're going to become a huge support for them and disappearing wouldn't be nice ಥ╭╮ಥ
- Be nice and respect each other.
Now that you know what all of this is, please fill the forms accordingly and if you made a buddy request, wait for a response in your email ✧ ─=≡Σ((( つ•̀ω•́)つ
