Jump on board the Big Bang Beta Express!

Whether you are looking for someone to reassure your ending is on point,
Need someone to pick out all your weird cut-and-paste errors and help with SPaG,
Want someone to figure out why that arm looks like it's at a weird angle,
Or double check your canon references,
A beta can help!
It's absolutely optional to have your work beta'd, but we do encourage you to do so — it can be hard to see bits that are off when you've been immersed in your work for a while, and having a cheer reader leave love-heart emoji can go a long way to boosting your confidence!
A beta can be someone you know, someone who's offered their services by being on a list or adding a pingable Discord role, or someone who approaches you after you post on a social media platform that you're looking for a bit of help. Read through our Beta Resource Post for a thorough guide on beta readers, from how to find one to tips on how to be one.

There are also other beta reading databases out there, including the multifandom Beta File, betaplease Dreamwidth, Beta Reader Wanted Tumblr; the beta search and find-me-a-beta Livejournal communities; or on fanfiction.net (for the Marvel films and the Marvel comics). Some are more active than others — a lot of beta readers can now be found in Discord communities, ready to be summoned with an @, so if you're active in a Stony Discord, we suggest trying your luck there, too!
We encourage anyone who is interested in cheering or betaing a Big Bang work (or other Stevetony and Steve/Tony works throughout the year - HE is coming up!) to register in the Cap-IM list right here!
Your Cap-IM BB event mods are available to help at all stages of the event, so please direct any questions or concerns to cap.im.events@gmail.com — we promise that we'll get back to you as soon as possible 💜
