Harry Potter Beta Reader

[indiana_j]

Would anyone be interested in being a beta reader for a multi-chapter story I'm writing?  It's Harry Potter and while it's Hermione-centric, it will have a strong supporting cast of people like Harry, all the Malfoy's, Kingsley and a few others.  I've got most of the plot in my head and the prologue written and most of the first chapter done.  I have no idea how long it will actually be but I'm looking for someone I can send the chapters to as I get them done and then I'd probably post them one after another (I really don't like posting a multi-chapter fic when I know it's not all done).

So, just looking for someone who's got time to give me a hand. :D  (The prologue has 3,200 ish words before I go over it again.)

This weekend is going to be pretty busy, so I'm taking tonight for myself.  I've got the TV on random crap, I've got a good glass of red wine at hand and I've got Nikola up and running.

What kind of beta reader do you need? I'm not good with spelling, etc, but I can definitly do plot structure and dialog and things of that nature.

[indiana-j.livejournal.com]

All kinds - actually, I generally like to have a few beta readers, sometimes who can look at different things. :D So, if you're interested, I'll toss the prologue to you with an explanation of the story?

It's potterverse, Hermione centric and has all the supporting characters. I was just figuring you were writing it FOR ME or something since that's like "OH HAI FRITO READ THIS STORY" pretty much writ large across it in bright neon letters. ;) Yes, I'm interested.

*gigglesnort* I have literally been drowning in reading Hermione-centric stuff lately - I've fallen in love with Hermione/Malfoy friendship fics, especially the ones that keep everyone in character while doing so.

I'll toss the rough plot idea to you while I clean up the prologue. (Oh dear god, it's 3,240 words long...o.o)

I like when they're snarky at each other and being all Genius-Bitchy at each other. Draco's smart. Snobby and bitchy and spoiled, but he's second in his class. He's NOT DUMB.

God, no. He's smart and so are his parents. They wouldn't let him be anyway. ;) And I love snark so damned much, especially when there's no real heat behind it.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Draco and Hermoine anything stories. They're two of my favourite characters in potter verse. So if there's Draco and Hermione friendship in this fic I'll be first in line, oh yes.
