Search for a Beta begins
Dec. 18th, 2009 04:32 pmPen Name: SunMonTue
Rating of the story/stories: NC-17 eventually.
Spoilers/Time Line: There are about 12 stories I have been working on. All are post-war. Some in the elusive 8th year, with others set over a long period of time.
Pairing: Harry/Draco in all of them, with mention of other pairs, but H/D is my center.
Warning: It is (or will be) slash. Some stories (may?) have excessive angst. But I am a happy-ending whore. And if the pairing didn't give it away all my stories are EWE.
Beta Type: I am probably after a cheerleader more than a Beta. Someone to give helpful feedback on the story/stories and aid development/plot. Point out when I've written OOC. Help with grammar and spelling is welcomed, however I would hope there would only be the odd typo! I would ideally like a beta who is on the plus side of twenty with some life experience. Some experience with posting/writing their own HP fanfic would be great, as I am an LJ plebeian (but am improving!) Also I would like to build a relationship/friendship with my Beta and have the same 1-3 for all my writing.
Harshness: I am looking for a constructive critic. I am pretty thick skinned, but would always want some explanation for something rather than a "this is utter cripe". That said, if my Beta gets to know me and knows I can do better and says (or demands) I re-write a section then I'll re-write. I'm doing this to push myself and to learn, and would like a Beta that can help with this.
Extras: I have never posted any fanfiction. It is something that quite frankly terrifies me. I will no doubt require prodding and encouragement. Also I am half-English and live in New Zealand, so I write (and spell) with British English. I don't want anyone that will continually try and correct my spelling of "colour".
And now that I have listed all my demands I'd like to point out that I am in fact very easy going, quite laid back, and not a drama queen in any way or form. If you are interested in having more info about any of the stories I can send a synopsis through PM. Best way to contact me is through PM.
