PI Beta Request for Harry Potter (SS/HG)  

Your Name/Pseudonym:  Danielle/Hogwarts_91

Email Address:  tusseymussey2@gmail.com

Fandom/Category:  Harry Potter

Title:  The Autumn’s Tale (tentative)

Rating:  NC-17 for racy smut and explicit het action (all w/consent)

Genre:  Romance, Humor, Action/Adventure, Drama, Mystery

Relationship:  Hermione/Severus

Predicted Total Length: 100,000+ words (it’s over 87,000 right now; I estimate another 25k.  Yikes!)

 

Summary:

Fourteen years after the Final Battle, Hermione Granger is finally content with her life.  Ensconced three years earlier as Hogwart's newest Potions Professor, she’s carefully crafted a steady, familiar world that’s miles away from the secrets and mistakes haunting her past.  But a surprise announcement at the start-of-term Feast is about to change all that.

 

Convalescing at St. Mungo’s, Severus Snape has spent the last fourteen years existing in a state of semi-Petrification, un-aged and very much unchanged.  The sudden awakening of the venerated war-hero is heralded throughout the land, but the reclusive Snape desires nothing more than a return to his post as Potions Professor at Hogwart’s.

 

Sparks begin to fly when the two Professors are forced to work together, their strong personalities clashing at each turn.  The tension builds even as they find their immense dislike for one another tempered by a begrudging respect.  As a tenuous understanding blossoms, so too does a mutual attraction, igniting a passion that cannot be denied even as it is being threatened. 

 

For a predator lurks in the shadows, with a macabre plan to alter the course of the wizarding world forever.  Trying to outmaneuver an evil that will stop at nothing to achieve its goals, they devise a cunning plan of their own and embark on a journey marked by danger and discovery.  One will find out that no secret is ever safe, while the other will learn the past cannot be buried.  With so much at stake, will the pair be able to pass the ultimate test of trust and love?

 

Additional Comments:

I need someone to help polish my grammar, and I would love some advice on pacing, flow, and plot.  I’d rather shed a tear over a brutally honest critique that teaches me something than be falsely flattered.

 

The lovely

 

[info]lettybird has graciously agreed to Brit-pick the story (a task she’s probably regretting already!).  And the charming  [info]savine_snape has offered her cheerleading skills to my fic, whilst encouraging me to ‘get thee to a Perfect Imagination beta’…

I await your response with eager anticipation!

I can also take brutal honesty but keep it nice. :)

New Test Available.  
Hi everyone,

I wanted to thank you all for your well-wishes. My son and I are both happy and healthy. We came home from hospital on May 23rd, and we're settling into this parenting thing very well :) A few of you wanted to see a picture of him, so it's below the cut.

Baby Cyrus )

Of course now that I'm back I have had time to create and publish the new test, which will run from today until October.

We are also changing our mentoring slightly to include a mark breakdown of the various grammatical areas. This means applicants will be able to see what their strengths and weaknesses are, and get a better idea of what they missed. This does only apply to the new test.

Thank you for your patience, and it's good to be back :)

Asli

Harry Potter beta reader needed

* Title: Regarding Harry

* Rating: PG-13/possibly R

* Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Humour

* Relationships: H/D, sort of...

* Predicted Total Length: long. :) I have 36,000+ words now. 14 chapters so far. MMight be 20-25 total?

* Summary: pre DH. AU 7th year fic. Harry destroys the last Horcrux and defeats Voldemort, but in doing so, winds up back where he started the night he got his scar: with the mind of a fifteen month old (big baby!Harry). Ever so slightly slashy. Some abuse and violence.

Harry Potter Beta Reader Needed!  
* Your name/pseudonym: Stephanie
* Email address: theindiscerniblesun@yahoo.com
* Fandom/Category: Harry Potter
* Title: Bleeding Love
* Rating: Hopefully PG-13, but eventually there may be a more R scene
* Genre: Romance, Angst, Horror/Dark, Drama
* Relationships: Mainly Bella/Remus, along with Bella/Rudolphus, Andromeda/Ted, and that's about it.
* Predicted Total Length: 25,000-50,000 (I'm not quite sure about this part)
* Summary: Seventh Year. It’s supposed to be unforgettable, with relationships forged and broken, an unyielding battalion of lessons and exams, and finally, graduation. For Bellatrix Black, the year starts out like any other—an impossibly long, boring journey a step closer to adulthood. However, as the Dark Lord gains power, Andromeda becomes pregnant, and Bella herself finds an undeniable attraction to a certain Remus Lupin—well, it’s obvious this is going to be a year like no other.
* Additional Comments: This story is in the works, and I'd love to have a flexible beta who could help me with my grammar/spelling, characterization, maybe some Briticisms too. Some help with my plot also wouldn't be bad. I guess I want it all! xD My story might be a little bit AU and Bella and Remus may be OOC, but that's mainly just to preserve the story and stuff.

I'd love to hear from you via e-mail, and I can give more details if needed!

* Your name/pseudonym:   flaminia_x
* Email address: flaminia_x@yahoo.com
* Fandom/Category: Harry Potter
* Title:  Tentative - A Vicious Cycle
* Rating:  NC-17 (eventually)
* Genre:  fanfic, romance, angst, tragedy, love, etc.
* Relationships:   het, Sirius/Hermione, Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ginny, George/Angelina
* Predicted Total Length:  long!  Planned 3 "books"; finished 1st, 9 chapters long, approx. 18k words at the moment.
* Summary:  Alternate Universe - basically, Sirius survives but the rest is canon.  Hermione and Sirius both feel extreme guilt over the loss of Remus and Tonks, and eventually fall in love. 
* Additional Comments:  Am looking for someone who can troubleshoot for continuity, and a Britpicker would be a real help!  It's a quick read.  Grammar and vocab are all fine, but stylistic suggestions are welcome.  If you just want to do Book 1, that's fine, and if you want to continue as I finish Books 2 and 3, that's fine too.  Either way!

Looking for an *Original Fiction* Beta Reader!  
Hi all! My name is Christine and I'm brand new to this community. *shy smile*

This community is actually why I re-joined LiveJournal haha. Well, to put it bluntly, I'm looking for a Beta Reader for an Original Work of mine that I've been working on the past couple months. A couple of my friends have looked it over, but have not offered too much advice or critique and I am craving more.

Likewise, I would LOVE to be a beta for anyone's work, particularly in the Original Work's area.

I hope I'm doing this right!  Here's a little information about me/my work.

* Your name/pseudonym: Christine.
* Email address: theboyboys@gmail.com
* Fandom/Category: Original Fiction... teehee.
* Title: N/A
* Rating: So far it's on the border of PG-13 but it gets darker and sexier lol.. so R definitely.
* Genre: Fantasy/Adventure with bits of tense romance.
* Relationships: M/F
* Predicted Total Length: So far I'm about 30,000 words in. I know this is a large amount, but of course I would send in smaller, less intimidating chapters.
* Summary: Well, here's the gist, pretty much. "The product of a one-night stand finds her father is not just a typical sleazebag, but a Lord planning an uprising between two warring sides – in a magical realm - and she is their prophecy."

* Additional Comments: I'm super uber excited for this. This is the longest thing I've ever written! Haha. I'd be pleased to have someone, or a few people possibly, that would love to critique it. I am open to brutal critiquing, in fact I encourage it, but ONLY if it is helpful. Nothing like "Oh my God this is complete garbage!" Hahaha, of course if that is how you feel then that's that but I would love reasons as to why it's complete garbage. : )

Here is a sample:

"Heffbert!" She gasped, astonished to find him here. Her voice was abnormally gritty, she initially felt bad that her voice had come out that way, but his persistent glare left her unnerved and not sorry.
    "You lied to me. You said you would come get me. You said you would take me away," She went on, as each word escaped, there seemed to be an angrier substance behind them. She was leaning over the cliff now, perched on the edge, her hands reaching out to him, not noticing, until her needy outreach, that each of her fingernails had turned into dainty razored claws.     
    The weak vision, apparition, whatever it was of Heffbert - hanging below in the air, suspended by invisible strings, or hands, bombed with uproarious laughter. She reeled backwards and threw her hands over her ears.  

    "
You're in too deep, kid." His voice was the exact tone she remembered. Dry and leathery, tweaked with condescension.

Thanks for checking this out! Have a lovely day. : )

~ Christine

Harry Potter beta reader needed  
Your name/pseudonym: Lasciate

Email address: shadowmaxwell@comcast.net (prefer contact by comment, however)

Fandom/Category: Harry Potter Fanfiction

Title: All Our Fervent Longing

Rating: NC-17 (eventually; WIP)

Genre: Romance

Relationships: Male/Male; Ron/Harry

Predicted Total Length: 35,000-40,000 (current is about 26,000)

Summary: When Harry began acting out in sixth year, his friends and society looked the other way, but eight years later, things haven't changed much, and Ron is forced to decide how much of himself he's willing to sacrifice in the name of friendship.

Additional Comments: As noted above, this story is a work in progress that I've been chipping away at for over a year, and is, essentially, my second full-fledged story in any fandom. I would love to work with someone on this multi-chapter piece that has me stuck in writer's block; I'm now at the point where I've read and re-read it so many times that I can't even spot glaring holes. My biggest concerns at this point are in characterization consistency, plot, and preventing melodrama. I hope you can help me out with that and more. I can't wait to hear back from you! Thanks!

Twilight beta reader required  
* Your name/pseudonym: Ellen
* Email address: eden.lore@gmail.com
* Fandom/Category: Set in the Twilight universe, but we're mostly talking original characters
* Title: Not yet named
* Rating: Could go up to R
* Genre: Drama/Romance
* Relationships: Mostly M/F
* Predicted Total Length: Will be chaptered, but I'm not totally sure how long it's going to get.
* Summary: Demelza’s tinkling laugh echoed in the cavernous room, “I thought you were going to feed on her?”
“I tried!” he spluttered.
Her eyes narrowed, “Then what happened?”
“She set me on fire...” he muttered, disbelief plain on his face.
Demelza was unable to contain herself. She slid to the floor in a fit of hysterics.
“I knew the little witch was going to give us trouble,” William commented blithely, appearing in the window frame and climbing through.
“Set you... fire... oh my god...” Demelza rolled on the floor, snorting with laughter.

A coven of vampires with a slightly unusual outlook on life become involved with a community of witches and gradually become embroiled in a war not their own.

* Additional Comments: I'm really excited about this story and have almost a whole summer ahead of me to fill with writing. I'm an undergraduate English student, so I'm not completely stupid when it comes to grammar etc, but I am very open to brutal criticism. I'd be particularly interested in a beta-reader who would be willing to help with plot. Thanks. :)

(I'm aware that fics that draw heavily on original characters have the potential to be clichéd, but I'm going to be really focusing on not letting that happen. Characterization too, is high on my list, and if they turn out as they are in my head, we should have a fairly endearing cast in this story.)

Administrator Absence  
Hello everyone,

Unfortunately due to some unforeseen complications with my pregnancy, I am being admitted to hospital on May 12th 2008. I'm not sure how long I will be gone for. I imagine I should be home again by mid-June, but I make no promises. It is only precautionary, and the baby and myself are both healthy. I'll just be stuck there for a while.

Because I am the main administrator for the site ,and this has happened unexpectedly, the site will be a little less organised than usual. Test marking and mentoring, preliminary emails and automated systems should run as normal.

The main delay I can see is that there WILL NOT be a new test published in June. I shall endeavour to get one done as soon as possible, but since I cannot guarantee it I would rather warn people that there may be a wait.

I hope you're all well, and I shall see you when I get back home.

All the best,

Asli

Hello everyone,

This is just to let you know that we have now added the following fandoms to the beta reader listing:

You can add beta profiles for any of these fandoms by logging into the site and going to your account, before selecting the "Add a Profile" link.

Hopefully I have isolated all the major ships. However, if there's a ship in any of these fandoms that's not on the list or any character names spelled incorrectly then please let me know, and I'll get straight on it.

Also the site should be fully functioning and operational. If you find any bugs or glitches then pelase let me know, with the error message, and we'll set to repairing it.

Thank you,

I've been working on this story for 4 years and I don't mind waiting more to complete it. I had my close friends to help me out with beta reading my stories, but they have been really busy and I haven't waited to give them extra work. I haven't had feedback in quite sometime now and I run into a bit of writer's block because of it. I would really appreciate someone who flexible in opinions, but can give comprehensive critique along with doing the essentials to my story. A beta reader really good in characterization, plots, grammar & spelling. I have posted another AD on the Betas 4 Hire group and I thought to expand on my search for a beta reader here as well. Let me know if you need anymore information about it. Please and Thank you :)
