Re: Betas

[(Anonymous)]

I've been out of fandom for a long time as well; by which I mean I still read fic occasionally but haven't written in a few years until I started toodling around with some fills here. I've seen a few people expressing something similar. There's something about DD that pulls fic writers out of retirement lol.

As for your question, kinkmemes in general tend to be un-beta'd as far as my understanding goes. The author does their own editing and posts it. As a result, the quality kind of varies, typos get missed, but on the other hand, quicker fills keep the meme more lively. Daredevil (netflix version, at least) is a new fandom so I doubt anything is really in place for betas. We could make it happen, though?

I know, for real, DD is the crack that brings all the kids back to the yard.

I mean, I do know they're generally unbeta'd. It's kind of embarrassing to me to even ask, since I feel like I'm breaking some unspoken rule. First time I've ever even felt the need to ask because I don't generally flesh stuff out to grand proportions. Or if I'd wanted to, like... back when I was in anime fandom, I had a community I could ask. And normally, I'm not planning on filling anything for over 5k -- there was one back on the Star Trek kinkmeme for the first reboot movie that was 8k and that was pushing it for me.

The only reason I'm reaching out now is because I'm probably going to deanon for this, since it's a Mirrorverse!AU where the plan is to do an episodic rework at a pace of about 5kish an episode (for 13 episodes, so yeah).

No worries, I don't blame you, particularly with the length you're looking at. I've got one that is shaping up to be way, way too long for a kinkmeme fill. I have handled it but, uh, ignoring it for a few days. That prompt and your ideas for the fill are really interesting, hopefully you can find someone to help you out!
