Pollute the Air

Did your favorite fandom get rejected because it was one fic over the limit?
Have you just fallen in love with a new fandom the day after nominations ended?
Or are you morbane?

Tell us all


Also:
In the last post the idea came up to create a community where you can post your most shameful yuletide requests anonymously. Check out [community profile] youwantwhat

Is the chat down or has it moved to another server? I can't connect to slashnet no matter how much I try.

the only way I can access is via the slashnet webclient. Any other client tells me I can't connect. Idk why

Guess I won't be going to the chat this year, then. Pity -- especially since I have no clue where else to find beta readers.

If later on you're still not able to get onto the chat, usually the publish a list of beta readers and the fandoms they're willing to read for in a spreadsheet. That's what I look through. Even if there is no one familiar with your fandom, there is usually a bunch of readers willing to do spag on anything or specific genres like sci-fi/etc.

I've found beta readers here before, coalie. Lots of us have YT-specific emails just for that purpose, and will beta at least for spag, even if you don't want to disclose the canon on the comm.

I think they do a beta readers post on the main comm.

DA

Weird, it's been working for me. I was in there all last night using Trillian. (Can't go in right now, because I'm at work.) Are you (or AYRT) having trouble connecting to slashnet itself or to #yuletide specifically?

I can't seem to connect to slashnet itself.

Are you using the right address?

The wiki and a few other places list it as slashnet.net when it's actually .org

Working for me and there's the usual number of people in chat at the moment.

I use Colloquy.
