Fandom_Grammar Needs You!

[melayneseahawk.livejournal.com]

Once again, we're running low on Answer topics, so it's your chance to help us shape our content.

Got a question you're arguing with your beta? Got a pet peeve you wish fandom would fix? Run into a problem somewhere else that still applies to fannish writing? We'll take them all.

Go to the Ask a Question post to suggest them. Comments are screened, so don't worry about being embarrassed.

No topic is too obscure, no question too nitpicky.

May the Grammar be with you!

One question I'd like to ask members is specifically how they got interested in grammar and/or improving their own.

Are there specific books or steps they would recommend?

Is there a master beta list of person's one can turn to for reading fan fiction? Would that list include things that would squick them or their country of origin (as I've learned grammar can be different across the seas)?

You've sparked an idea! Keep an eye out this summer!

For books and articles we like, you can look at this list of grammar books (http://community.livejournal.com/fandom_grammar/tag/reference%3Agrammar%20books) and this list of articles (http://community.livejournal.com/fandom_grammar/tag/reference%3Agrammar%20articles).

Unfortunately, fandom_grammar cannot offer or suggest beta services at this time. Some fandoms have comms devoted to helping people find betas (like sg1betas for the Stargate fandom), so we'd suggest just looking and asking around.
