betaplease is happy to support fiction exchange participants who are looking for beta-readers. However, you should protect your anonymity when posting here, because most exchanges like gifts to be an anon surprise.

To that end, you can use a few strategies:

1. The easiest one is simply don't mention that your fic is an exchange gift. That's usually enough to maintain your anonymity.


2. If you think that won't be enough, you can also post to this exchange using a sock/throwaway account that isn't easily traceable to you. That way, even if someone realizes you're writing a fic for a specific exchange, they won't be able to tell who you are.


3. As an alternative to #2, you may also ask someone else to post your beta-reader request to this community on your behalf. These kind go-betweens are often called Hippos in the world of exchanges. You can find your own go-between, or if you'd like to offer your Hippo services, kindly comment on this post so that people can reach out to you.

Exchanges are wonderful! The joyful surprise of anonymity is wonderful, too. Let's all do our best to preserve and support both. ♥
