    'Allo, chaps.

    I've started writing a story...don't have a title yet.

    It's a dark/independant Harry story, and i aim to put in a large emphasis on blood magic, and Political!Harry. I'm going to introduce manip!Dumbles, but unlike most fics, i have no interest in making him an idiot or incompetant.

    Now, i'm aiming for a total of about 140,000 words or so, so a beta would be appreciated to look into plot holes and the more complicated bits of grammar that still evade my sensibilities.

    About 90% of he grammar i can handle myself, but just story advice and some constructive help with sentence and paragraph structure would be extremely appreciated.

    Please let me know if you're interested, and by that i hope you understand that you would have to be BETTER than me at english, unless you wish to advise on a wholly plot-related level.

    So, if oyu just want to proofread and help with plot details, then please, put your name forwards. If you would like to help me as a beta, then please ensure that you are fluent at english and it's niceties.

    Thanks.

    Oh, BTW, if you want to read what i have asof now, drop a line right here and i'll email it to you.

    Its a Honks/multi fic...with some truly dark moments, none of which will be undeserved. And, Harry will not be a shrimpy little asswipe.

    cheers.

    You request is fine just look at the topic above you.
    Its says "looking for beta" amd if you entered there its says that people like you should post there and not here.
    Nothing personal against you.
