Fan Labour Discussion

[fandomforoz_mods]

Do you have a fandom-related skill or skills that no one else has? Are you looking for some help with something in particular? This is a place for suggestions and discussion regarding the types of fan labour you're looking for in the fandom auction.

Suggestions so far:

• betaing and concrit
• brit-picking
• tutorials and/or technical help with vidding/sound editing
• historical/other research in areas of speciality
• themes and layouts
• sensitivity reading

Please note that this is not a space for bidding or making offers; we're simply looking for suggestions as to the types of fan labour people might be interested in bidding on or offering for auction when sign-ups open.

You can also check out the Twitter thread here.

Would anyone be interested in line-by-line concrit or very detailed beta reading as an offer?

I would think that sensitivity reading in whichever areas someone is comfortable might also be something of interest. I know there are some bits I'd love to have a sensitivity reader look over in one of my ongoing fics.

Agreed, and this is something that's difficult to find unpaid volunteers for, for many reasons.

I would definitely bid on an offer to customise an LJ or DW theme.

+1 I came here to say this.

As would I!

In a similar auction I participated in a few years back, someone was selling rare pokemon for trade. I wondered if anyone would be interested in a breeding service for generations 6 and 7. I can breed perfect stats and some rare balls.

Failing that I could code layouts for personal websites (Neocities and other static services)?
