I was trying to think of an art or craft that hasn't been done for the BB before...and beadwork came to mind.

How many hours of work on beadwork pieces would it take for such a project to qualify as a BB complementary?

[feroxargentea]

Ooh, um, "an amount representing an effort commensurate with a 2000-word fic". Which is to say, it's all a bit vague and I will totally take your word on it and cheer you on!

*feels the build-up of enthusiasm*

Heh, I guess I'll have to time the next 2000 words of fic that I write to give myself a minimum-reference.

ETA : And what kind of beta should I seek for a crafts fanwork?

[feroxargentea]

Whichever sort of beta you think would be helpful, I suppose. Specific craft beta (equivalent of line editing), or someone to say the equivalent of "hmm, I reckon Fraser's uniform is a slightly brighter shade of bright"? :)

(2000 words can take me anything from a day to several months, so it's difficult to be prescriptive about it!)

[ride_4ever]

Ah. I'm going to ask one friend who is both a dS fan and a craftsperson for beta input in whatever form then seems suitable.
