It's coming along well. I might actually finish this before it's lost in the deep abyss of my WIPs.

Based on this post.

Adding the completed version. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

Hi! It’s been really exciting to see all the takes on proper beta reader etiquette- I feel like beta readers have fallen out of fashion recently and it’s good to know that people are still interested.

I was wondering if it’s possible to be a beta reader without being a published fic author. I love reading fanfic and editing people’s writing (mostly grammar, sentence structure, etc.) but I haven’t published anything myself. I’m sure most people looking for a beta reader would prefer to read something that the reader has written to make sure styles and such align, but would any writers be open to a beta reader with no published works?

Of course you can beta read without being a writer yourself! You still have thoughts and opinions that can be shared. And as we've discussed, there are many types of betas:

grammar and spelling checkers

canon compliance checkers

characterization checkers

localization and translation help

consistency and logical flow help

reading for sensitivity to marginalized or underrepresented groups

assisting with AO3 tags and summary

cheer reading (being an enthusiastic reader to motivate the author to keep going)

Betas are often a rare resource in fandom - especially now when they aren't talked about as much. Putting yourself out there as a volunteer would be appreciated. I'm sure of it!

LXC vs NHS on nieyao. LXC is not used to a didi who is comfortable having so many opinions about 3zun's sex life.

also NHS was made for the :3 face

Can’t finish the other ones rn so have this princely looking idiot for the end of mermay as a sneak

Since he’s the only one done I’m adding a bunch of ideas with it that idk if I’m going to do anything with them:

• he’s the fastest and best hunter of the reef and enjoys hunting in the open sea (terrifying)

• Instead of kicking open doors he straight up impales people with his horn because of how fast he goes everywhere which he obviously gets very much chastised about

• when he’s exited or flustered or gets angry his dorsal fin rises up like an angry cat’s fur puffing up

• after sy cleared up the ghost shark mission debacle between him, sj and sqh (with many threats and rejected apologies) he actually admits to liking hunting with sj (bc sj may be feral but he knows what he’s doing)

• other fishes think him and sy would make a great couple but he never understands the implication (and may or may not have a crush on sj anyways)

• he and sj capture all sorts of critters for sy :3

Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???
