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
