hi hi!! we understand the anxiety!! we’d like to say that although requesting a beta through us does not guarantee you’ll get one, we believe that’s unlikely to happen! especially if you are signing up for one super early, because we post the updated sheet every week. in the circumstance that you do not get matched with a beta, though, there is not much we can do other than recommend that you try to reach out to someone on your own or through the discord or that you proofread for yourself! unfortunately we cannot guarantee that everyone will get a beta reader; it’s not a function of the fest. we just do our best to connect people if we can! we really hope you get a beta reader if you desire one, but it’s also not a requirement to submit your fic! #nobetawedielikemen
