I'm somewhat new to fanfic writing. I'm a creative writing major (currently taking time off from school), American, 22...

Name: Katherine
Email: pretentious.kateREMOVE@gmail.com
Story title: Under the Rain
Summary: A couple years after the end of the war, Snape has locked himself up in a moldering house, sulking in the shadows. Painfully thin, out of touch with the world, he's caught between life and death. A connecting garden door and a bitter, angsty Hermione Granger enters the picture, and Snape finds himself challenged by someone as bitter and scarred as himself.
Rating: So far - PG ... will be R as it comes along
Category/Genres: Angst, Dark fics, Dark Romance (NOT rape or BDSM)
Ship: HG/SS
Warnings: Swearing, hints of violence if not out-right violence, possibility of sex in latter chapters.

Despite a partial background as an English major, my spelling and grammar need a second eye. I'd like a beta who's willing to work with me as this story comes on... and it may take a while. I need someone who's patient, doesn't mind maybe two or three weeks between things to read - basically, if you don't have much time, I'm the author for you! Smile

A solid knowledge of Snape and Granger canon characterization would be helpful.

Hi Krazy_Kat,
I'm Sinaz0211 (Sandy), and would like to Beta your story, if you still need a reader. I'm a new Beta, but not new to proofreading, editing and writing. I'm accreditated on perfectimagination.com (PI #5542505402). I also have a BA in Journalism (news ed), and have taught Language Arts to Junior High students (now there's patience for you). Even more important for your story, I love Snape, especially canon Snape, which it sounds like your guy will be.
Please let me know if you'd like to work together, and when to expect your first chapter(s). I look forward to reading your story!

Hey! I have someone looking the first chapter over right now - and I went ahead and posted it despite it not being betad, because it was short (under 700 words).

I'm of the opinion that multiple pairs of eyes never hurt, so if you'd like to take a look, that would be awesome! If you drop me a PM or an email (pretentious.kate@gmail.com) I'll send you the first and second chapters.
