Title: (Yet to be decided) Thinking... 'The Severus Snape Series' or 'The Chronicles of Severus Snape' (something along those lines), I really have no idea!
Rating: PG, may be some character death.
Genre: Drama, angst.
Ship: Snape-(?) I can't say who because that would ruin everything! Although I MAY tell whoever agrees to Beta for me.(No slash.)

Mostly I am after someone to correct my punctuation and probably my grammer, but suggestions on plot and title/s(!) will be welcome. There should be roughly 14/16 chapters and the general length of each will be just over 1000 words.
The basic plot is my rewritten version of the Harry Potter books from Snape's POV, so Severus Snape and the... Except of course the last few chapters which will be entirely my own.

If you send me an E-Mail I will send you a copy of my first chapter for your opinion on my story so far, we can then work out if you will Beta for me.

Contact me at: wongawasere@hotmail.com

Just read the 'sticky' so I figured I'd add this:

*I use MS Word

*This is my first fic.

*I am writing the story as I go along so you will need to be patient (that's why everything is so unsure!)

*I would like it back A.S.A.P, I mean that in a nice way, not right NOW!

*I like to think it is cannon but... (we don't know what Snape does in private so it might be!)

*I am concerned about it being too close to JKR's origional text (don't worry it's not just the HP books in different words! I do actually have a plot but it can't truly be realised until the final chapters.)

*If you beta for me I intend to give you credit, please tell me if you don't want it.

I want to make this clear if you do not like my story and/or do not wish to beta it please tell me. If you don't like it please tell me why.

Anyone...?

SAMPLE:

"Soon the sorting was over and Severus turned his attention to the man next to him.

“So Quirrell, running from vampires I hear.”

“Y…y…yes Severus, s…something l…like that.” Severus looked down at the Gryffindor table; Potter was busy shoveling food into his mouth like he hadn’t eaten in months."

See how many mistakes you can find in that one outtake...Help Please!
