Story title: The Binding Contract
Summary: This is what I wrote for NaNoWriMo.
In a post-Voldemort world, the Muggleborns are finally getting the respect of Purebloods, due to the organisation known as S. P. A. M. (The Society for the Pureblood Acceptance of Muggleborns), which grew out of the organization S. P. E. W. Unfortunately, Hermione Granger, the Founder of S. P. E. W., feels that things have swung too far in the other direction, as former Death Eaters and other “Muggle Haters” are made the slaves of their victims. Her attempts to work overtly are met with veiled threats, and she soon realizes she must try to work covertly, within the system. This demands a number of moral compromises on her part, especially when she finds evidence that could prove her own dummy-slave, Snape, innocent of the charges against him. As Hermione struggles with her own conscience, S. P. A. M. begins to take a much closer look at its Founder. Will Hermione survive their scrutiny?

Special Requests/Other information:
As I said above, this was my NaNoWriMo project. Therefore, at the moment, it is in a very rough state. It's also very long and complete, close to 117,000 words.

Ideally, what I'd like to happen is this:
1. You'd read the whole thing over, just to know what's going on...

2. I'd edit each chapter as much as I could before sending it on. Then, I'd like to revise/fix after hearing your comments and send it back... and so on until we are both satisfied with the chapter.

Also, ideally, I'd like to have as much detail about as many different areas as possible. Especially story-related issues: plot, setting, characterization, sentence flow, organization, etc. I also like to know *why* things are wrong, so that if I don't take your suggestion, I have an idea of what to do instead. I do usually find my own solutions to problems, though I'm always grateful for alternatives. Yes, I would like to also get it proof-read and Brit-picked eventually, but if I can only have one, I want story issues.

I say "ideally" here, because I'm willing to compromise A LOT. That's because I'm very worried about finding a beta for this. It's very graphic, and there are several parts that are squicky, even for me, who wrote it. Perhaps strangely, there's not actually a lot of sex. I'll pretty much be grateful to anyone willing to give it a shot, even if they do not go into nearly as much effort as I've outlined above.

I already have a PerfectImagination beta reader for another couple of stories, but I know she doesn't read anything Adult, so I can't go through PerfectImagination to find a beta for this story.

Many thanks in advance,
Vesera

I'd probably be up for it. I'm no good with commas, but I can definitely give plot advice, help with canon-ness and keep your characters in line. Drop me a private message, or e-mail me at ladylaurabeth @ yahoo.com if you're interested, or if you want more info. Smile
