Beta wanted [18 May 2013|09:41pm]

essenity
Name: Condemned by Draco Malfoy (part 2/2)
Age: Characters are over 18, this is a post-war/post-Hogwarts fic. Author is way over 18.
Rating: R/NC-17
Pairings: Main story centres around Harry/Draco. Lucius and Narcissa make appearances as a couple (real love). Harry/Astoria and Draco/Astoria occurs out of hate/spite but with the knowledge of both Harry and Draco.
Any warnings about fic content: Infidelity, madness/insanity/crazy/out of control, suicide attempt (for manipulation), self harm, mentions of sex, use of language, mentions of domestic mental and physical abuse between characters,
Where to contact you: essenity.slavir@gmail.com or LJ messages.
Deadlines: None really, but since part 1 has already been released, I hope to release this part soon (preferably before the end of this month if not end of the week).

Any other important info the beta should know: Recently just returned to fandom. The first part was already released but un-beta'd. Would be grateful if you would also look over part 1. Total word count is around 10k and is split pretty close so part 2 should be around 5,000.

I've noticed I tend to use overly long sentences and then try to compensate with really short ones.

Beta needed in-progress H/D + Mpreg [15 May 2013|01:33pm]

eidheann_writes
Rating: Currently pg-13. will likely be nc-17 by the end
Pairing: Harry/Draco, Harry/Ginny (non-explicit)
Need Help With: I have an amazing pre-reader who's keeping me pretty on-track with flow & character (though if you see anything, yell!), but my SPAG could use a very firm talking to. Also, my love-affair with commas and run-on sentences needs it's own specific mention. Anything else is gravy.
Deadlines?: Flexible. If it's finished by the time the mpreg fest stops (mid-June), I'd like to submit it there. If that doesn't work, it doesn't work.
Warnings/Contains: oh lordy, it's a list. mpreg, discussion of past miscarriage, discussion of infertility, mention of abortion, non-graphic het, mention of (non-graphic) partner abuse, infidelity (emotional, potentially more), divorce. oh and um, angst.


Currently working on a H/G moving to H/D mpreg fic. Part 1 is complete and is sitting at ~9000 words. I'd love someone willing to read the whole thing, or be a permanent beta (!!), but if you're only able for one part, that's fine as well. I'm snatching writing time around caring for an infant and toddler, so no firm estimate on when further will be ready other than "as soon as I can."

I like to think I'm pretty easy to work with; I believe in taking advice when asked for and am responsive to changes. I also don't take corrections terribly personally, so can handle blunt review. I'm using gdocs, but can also provide with word.

Hey, I'm looking for a beta for my entry to hp_rarefest.

English is not my mother tongue so I'd be great if someone could check the story over for me. (And help me with the rating.)

It's femslash and a really quick read, I promise! I would be eternally grateful :)

Please pm me, thanks!
Edit: Due date is 12th of May! So I'd be glad if this is looked over like one or two days before that :) As soon as you can would be great!

Harry/Draco/Blaise fest fic [29 Apr 2013|10:36am]

rons_pigwidgeon
I am in need of a beta for a fest fic. Since it's anon, I'll only say that it's Harry/Draco/Blaise, is a little over 5k at the moment (I'm not convinced it doesn't need more written to fill it out, but that's something I'm hoping my beta can help with), and is all kinds of nc17.

It's not due until July 1, so there's plenty of time. I'm looking for help with plot consistency, characterization, and the whole does-it-need-more question.

Thank you in advance!

This is for the Death Eater fest, and it is NOT a happy fic. PLEASE note the warnings!

WARNINGS Non-con, child molestation (not explicit or particularly graphic, but there is no way to mistake it.)

This fic was written to be uncomfortable - it was written with the darker aspects of the Death Eaters in mind - JKR alluded to some potentially nasty stuff in her writings, and I wanted to express it.

SUMMARY There is more than one way to break a person - pain is only one of them. Isolation, seduction - they can be even more damaging than mere pain. While Dumbledore worries over Harry's safety after Voldemort returns at the end of the tournament, he forgets to keep a close eye on other potential targets - like the clever, Muggle-born Hermione.

It is around 6300 words, and I'm looking for SPaG and flow plus one bit of an issue that I will note at the beginning of the fic.

Please let me know if you are interested.

In search of an mpreg-friendly beta-reader! Whoo!

I have a Harry/Draco drama (also, Draco/other men) -- 3 parts, NC-17. I'm looking for someone to give me an opinion of the first part (14k); grammar and sentence structure are less of a concern. That's all I need at this point. It'd be nice if you're interested in beta-reading the rest later (I'll be done by mid-May), but it's not necessary. Thanks!

Hey all you lovely people out there. I was just wondering if anyone would be able to beta a fic for me? It's for hprarefest and, obviously I can't say much about it, but it's slash, rated R and around 3,000 words. I'll gladly PM over more deals if you're interested. I mostly need help with flow and SPaG but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Beta Requirements:
FIxing up general grammar, flow, characterisation, etc. An honest opinion.

I have an anticipated 40,000 words but you don't have to stick with me for the entire story. If you're able, just chapter 2 would be fine (chapter 1 already beta-ed and posted) and this would only be 4,000 words. If you want to stay for the entire story, the duties will be pretty spread apart.

MUST USE WORD 'TRACK CHANGES' FEATURE

Title: Demons (inspiration from the song Demons - Imagine Dragons)

Chapter one has already been beta-ed and can be found at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9089512/1/Demons

Pairing: Draco x Hermione

Summary: Draco Malfoy is tired of running yet he can’t stop. Trapped with the Order, his demons are catching up. He burns everything in his path and she’s standing right in the middle of it. “I’m scared that if you get too close, you’ll see how dark and empty it is inside.” A mudblood and a defected deatheater hiding behind masks, both refusing to give up. Something’s going to give.

Rating:
NC17+

Warnings: Mild profanity, explicit sexual situations, minor character death

Anticipated length: >40,000 (currently at 16,000)

Beta Search for HP Prisoner Fest [20 Apr 2013|06:42pm]

caitriona_3
Title: WORKING ON THIS
Pairing (sort of): Lucius Malfoy/Hermione Granger
Rating: R/M I believe...final determination when story finished
Warnings: Dub-con, Slavery, Minor sexual content - some explicit, most implicit, Implicit violence - nothing major, but the hints are there, Language - mostly in French because Malfoy is pretentious that way
Word Count: 6000 right now - probably between 6500 and 8000 when totally finished
My Deadline: July 1st
What I need: Spelling/grammar; overusing words; general flow; does it make sense/fit the prompt (I have never written this type of story before, and I'm stretching my wings a bit.)
Note: If you end up doing the beta, I will send the original prompt with the story so you can see the inspiration. There are some sections I'm still working on (and you'll see where those are), but the basic story is on paper.

Summary: (Still working on this as well) - She was no longer a person after all; she was his toy, his plaything. And she had freely chosen her fate.

Thanks!
