Questions for the creator? Reach out to them via Discord (bettsfic)!

If you have a very specific prompt and are not flexible, it's best to contact the creator before bidding, even if it fits within their listed parameters. If you are asking for a specific kink, always ask first.

betts is offering:


Organizations this auction benefits: Bidder's choice of any of the listed groups (See full list.)

Type of fanwork: Fan labor
Subtype(s): Betaing, Sensitivity reading, Specialist expertise, Developmental Editing
Fandom(s): Any
Highest rating: E
Minimum Bid: $5
Audience: All ages
Length/scope: 5 -10k words

Fanwork Details:
For sensitivity readings, I can speak to schizo-spectrum disorders and psychotic breaks, as well as pro-sex (which is to say, not sex repulsed) asexuality.

For specialist expertise, I worked at a bank for 10 years, so if you're writing a heist or bank robbery, I've got you covered. I also know a ridiculous amount about the Vietnam War, Marilyn Monroe, Vincent van Gogh, and the assassination of JFK.

For beta-ing, I can offer broad marginal notes, cheerleading, or a formal crit letter. I'm also happy to provide a developmental edit on a synopsis or work, which is a service I offer professionally (see below).

Relevant experience/background:
I've been a freelance developmental editor and writing coach for five years. I've had hundreds of clients, and I have coached several writers into creative writing MFA programs and traditionally published book deals. I founded the Fanauthor Workshop and OFIC Magazine. I've been traditionally published as a writer and have won several awards. I also have a literary agent and will soon be putting my second manuscript out on submission. As for education, I have an MFA in creative writing and pedagogy, and half of a PhD in English (creative writing: fiction). I've taught creative writing at the university level for nine years.

Additional notes about labor offered:
If interested in a developmental edit or synopsis review, we can do a regular coaching session over Zoom or we can chat via Discord. A developmental edit provides conceptual and structural feedback. In terms of my own pedagogy, I mostly focus on positive and neutral feedback and I ask a lot of questions.

I'm willing to read any content for any fandom, although if I'm reading for a fandom whose canon I haven't engaged with, I will not be able to provide feedback on canon compliance or characterization.

Characters/pairings of interest:
Any

Subjects/theme/tropes of interest:
Any

Unwilling to address:
None

Other notes:
I'm happy to answer any questions via Discord or email about my fanlabor offers.


Auctions run from 8:00AM EST, 25 February 2025, to 8:00PM EST, 1 March 2025. Bids before or after this period are invalid and will not be counted. If you would like to bid on this auction:

Step 1: Check the bidding spreadsheet to find out what the current high bid is. (Note: It may take up to five minutes for a bid to appear.)

Step 2: Fill out the creator's bidding form with a bid that is higher than the current high bid. If you want to make it harder for someone to outbid you, bid higher! We will NOT notify you if someone outbids you. FTH will only notify you if you are the high bidder after the auctions end.
