Hello,
I just want to say first that I am of course a major Harry Potter fan and like everyone else, I had to do my own story. Smile
Though I will have canon stories later on, the one I’ve been currently working on (since 2004!!) Is an AlterNet Reality which does have a couple of “Original” characters in it (I’ve worked hard not to make it Mary-sue so don’t worry)

I have been stuck on the same chapters since May of 2004. I have a friend who has promised to beta for me but hasn’t kept her word, so needless to say I had lost interest in my story.
Just recently however I’ve been wanting to finally get going on it once again. I need a beta that is willing to do an AlterNet Reality HP fan fic. This story is an H/D fic (no Slash sorry lol). It will be about 31-32 chapters long and is rated R.
Since there are Original characters in it, I’m asking the beta to help me make sure that the character(s) keep being “Original” and not falter to being a “Bad Mary-sue”.

If you could help me finally get my story breathing once again I would be most greatly appreciate it. Please Email me and I will get back to you ASAP.

Thank you all for your time.
IceDragon

Things seem to be going a little slow on the boards here, especially with the spammer infesting the place like a rabied Doxy, but here is a good place to look for one:

http://www.perfectimagination.co.uk

I was fortunate to get a beta from this site, and, when things got too busy for her, another volunteered. (My grammar and punctuation need major polishing - that's why I haven't tried for the title...)

Good luck!

Alas... I've been to that site before and unfortunately they couldnt help me. Every time I tryed to do a beta search it came up with someone that would only do Canon and nothing else. I even emailed the web master asking if they knew of someone, but they only suggested for me to try the forums Crying or Very sad

I second the pet. poetess posted by melusin. I never can get on there though, I keep getting error messages.

Also try fictionalley.com. There are forums there, I believe, for betas.

Try this link for The Petulant Poetess it is shorter and takes you directly to a list of all 115 betas on her site.

http://www.thepetulantpoetess.com/beta.php

Hopefully that will work for you. Please let us know.

One of the things I am going to try to do for the forums is contact all of our Betas and find out wich ones are still interested in Betaing, and are available or not. Then make a list of those that are available with a link to their post and/or profile.

And to go in hand with that go through our list of seekers to find out which ones are still in need of a beta, or about to be, or not in need. And do the same thing as with the Betas.

And then, Laughing , I will be trying to keep up with it. So we know who still needs a story to beta and who needs a beta for their story.

Anywho.

Good luck Icedragon, on finding a Beta and getting your story ready for archiving.

I am looking forward to reading the completed product! It sounds very interesting.

Sleepy Very Happy
