Help Needed!
Aug. 23rd, 2004 05:05 amHi all.
I need another beta reader. For a nonsneezefic R(or NC-17)-rated Sirius/Remus story for a fest. Deadline is the 31st and the story's about a quarter done. *bangs head against wall* It does have some minor hurt/comfort elements (which I'm currently calling uncomfortableness/comfort which doesn't make a lot of sense because the first word isn't a verb, but I dunno. It is minor h/c).
Beta needs to be quick-ish and/or abusive to get my butt in gear and finish the story on time. LOL But mainly I'm worried. It's food sex. (Not sex with food so much as sex which revolves around food... you know, ice cream, chocolate sauce, etc. not carrots up the arse) Which I know is cliche but that's the challenge. So I'm trying to pull it off without being quite so cliche, you know? So opinion and assistance would be very helpful, in addition to catching any damn stupid mistakes that I tend to make. The good news is, I have a decent title. So the hard part's over! LOL I just need someone to make me feel a little bit better about what I have so far and kick me in the arse a few times to get the story to come out all right.
I'd really appreciate the help. Please respond here or drop me an e-mail if you're at all able! Thank you!!! And, yeah, it's a nonsneezefic. And I don't have a regular HP beta so I thought I'd ask people I trusted and who know my styles before I went off to a beta list. But I totally can do that if no one has the interest or time. :-)

Date: 2004-08-24 06:23 pm (UTC)And if you want a fic in return as a thank you PLEASE don't hesitate to ask! Anything!
Legolas and Gimli just distracted me for the next hour or so, but then I'll get the fic to a point to where I can send it to you tonight/early tomorrow. It's not at all finished but I'd appreciate in-progress feedback. Just to push me in one direction or another to tell me it sucks in certain respects, etc.
