Hello ;-)
I'm doing a little beta-request here. I'm planning on and have
already started writing a fic called "Hogwarts Trilogy part I:
Secrets and Sorceresses" (don't you dare call it lame! ::grin::), a
very long fic that will take place during Harry's fifth, sixth and
seventh year.
We can get back to the plot later, when I know that I can trust you.
What I need is one or more betas. Devoted, interested and
trusthworthy betas who can help me make this a good fic. It will need
pushes in the right directions, most of all because I don't wish for
it to end up looking like a rip-off of Slytherin Rising or Draco
Dormiens or any other good epic fic.
I'm a picky and demanding girl though. If you think you would like to
help me out- please check this first and see if you're what I need.
*I want a person who is ruthless when it comes to critisism and
telling me that my chapter is better off in the trash can if it is.
Of course I refuse to accept things like "It's bad just because". If
it's bad or if it's good- I want to know why.
*British people are preferred since it's going to be British people
talking British English. I'm Swedish myself so I just don't hear
what's what sometimes!
*It's a long fic. Three parts with probably 15-20 chapters each. I
need someone who is able to do this and to keep involving her/himself
with the plot and its subplots. No sloppy readers who just correct
some major grammar mistakes, but a person who is willing to help me
work out some plot holes and stuff.
*My age or older. I'm 20 and the fic will be rated R so please, no
one underage.
*Good knowledge of the characters. A beta who can point out to me
when I'm going out of character or when I seem to invent new
expressions and let them say things they never would say. But since
it's a fic going over three years, the characters will naturally get
different and more developed at some point. We don't want them to act
and think like 15-year olds for the rest of their lifes, do we?
That's kind of everything. I do hope that I didn't scare everyone
away...
E-mail me and tell me if you're interested!
Glitter,
Lilith Morgana
