The thing is with RT we might actually make it that far...
And the trend continues…

Throwing this out for all the writers I know(and to remind myself later.)
While you are worrying about whether beta readers will steal your ideas, there is a more genuine threat on the horizon.
When offered a publishing contract, please do all your research before you sign. There are a number of fakes and scammers out there, as well as good-intentioned amateurs that don’t know how to get your work to a wide audience. I won’t tell the heartbreaking stories here - there are too many.
Being published badly is worse than being never published.
It can destroy your career and your dreams.
The quick check is to google the publishing house name + scam or warning.
But, to be sure, check with these places first. They aren’t infallible (nothing is) but they can help you protect yourself. They are written and maintained by expereinced writers, editors, publishers and legal folks.

Writer Beware
and the WRITER BEWARE blog
Keep yourself and your work safe.
This is really important, so if you are a writer or have writer friends, or you are a writing blog, please reblog it.
Putting this one out there. AO3 is an archive, not a social media platform. It isn't meant to be sanitized for the public, it's meant to be a fandom content safe haven.
HEY!
AO3 is in danger of becoming CENSORED. if you have donated $10 or more BEFORE june 30th, PLEASE exercise your right to vote (as you should have received an email to) and VOTE AGAINST TIFFANY GU, who is PRO-CENSORSHIP and PRO making AO3 “palatable” for outsiders and antis.
this is one of the few places dead dove writers/illustrators have to post our content, which is NOT illegal, immoral, or a threat to society. however, CENSORSHIP IS.
if you have the opportunity to vote, PLEASE TAKE IT.
KEEP AO3 WONDERFUL! THANKS!
This is not going to be a spoiler free blog for RWBY Volume Nine. Tagging spoilers with vol 9 spoilers and rwby spoilers.
