A couple little things I've written recently. The first was a birthday present for a friend; the other was a requested drabble/ficlet for a work on DeviantArt.

Title: Cold Hands, Warm Hearts
Pairing/Characters: young Professor Severus Snape (age not-quite-23), Aurora Sinistra; brief mention of past Severus/Lily
Rating: PG (one swear word)
Words: ~3600
Summary: Oooooo, Severus, I think she likes you!


Title: Snow-horses
Pairing: Severus/Hermione
Rating: barely PG (mild suggestion of sensuality)
Words: 256
Summary: Hermione is sculpting horses out of snow. Just a bit of fluff.

Title: Comus
Author: Elle
Characters/Pairings: Hermione Granger/Severus Snape
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Language, some sexual inuendo, AU with Snape alive
Summary: A SS/HG story loosely based on the 1954 movie 'Sabrina.' Hermione is in love with Ron, but their relationship would ruin Snape's plans, and he won't allow that.
Author's Note: I update weekly, usually on Sunday or Saturday

I'm nearly 60k into the fic and need my fic to be beta'd for SPaG and Britpick...I'm not asking for a total beta, to save time. The fic is split up into chapters and 1-6 have already been done.

If anybody would be available to check my fic chapter by chapte for spag and britpick, I'd very much appreciate it. The britpick would be nice, but it isn't necessary.

Thanks, I can be contacted by private message or email...qumabh@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from somebody.

Thanks, Mab

Greetings!

I'm looking for a dedicated plot/story development beta to bounce fic off of for my HP Valensmut gift! The pairing is Blaise/Seamus and the final rating will most likely be R. This fic is not kink intensive but will include some heavily adult material including but not limited to mentions of child abuse, this fic is not fluffy or bunny or intended to be funny so if that's not your cup of tea just warning you now!

Final length will most likely be around 15k, obviously you will be getting it over the course of the first few weeks of Jan in chunks to enable me to re-write prior to the Jan 26 deadline. I would say the commitment would be to read about 5k a week and give me your opinion on how coherent the storyline is, how it flows, where I'm OOC, etc.

If you think you might be able to make this kind of commitment please contact me via PM on LJ or via my fic email at voight.central@gmail.com

Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

hi, folks -- i'm up to my "hard" deadline post-extension for the hp_emofest, and neither of the betas who has helped shepherd this piece is available for the final check.

clearly, i can't say more about the fic (cause a bunch of the festers are in this comm, too), but if you're not one of them and can do a final SPAG tonight (or even within the next 24 hrs), i'd greatly appreciate it.

information: it's a long fic - 16,500ish words
warnings: dub-con, slash, bdsm.

please comment here, PM me, or email songquake at gmail dot com if you think you'd be able to help.

you will be forever credited as an angel for this corporal literary work of mercy.

Hi,

I'm in dire need of a beta for a Tom Riddle-centric fic with a little over 2,000 words. It's work-safe, includes references to Poe, Shakespeare, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the Arthurian legend, Rasputin and borrows Hetalia's England.

teaser:
The children are crying, and the night is cold, and Mrs Cole rationed the food again. Don't be angry with me, be angry with the Great Depression haunting our nation, she tells them but it's the corner of his mouth she is looking at.

Hi everyone,

I've been mulling over writing a H/D story set after HBP for well over a year, and have finally gotten around to starting it. Basically I'm looking for a beta, primarily SPAG, but I would be very happy to talk over any plot or characterisation, and fact-checking elements that are highlighted.

It will probably end up being fairly long. But there shouldn’t be any warnings, there’s angst but nothing too out of the ordinary of the actual books.

If anyone would be interested in doing this for me, please let me know. If you have any questions about plot/length etc then just ask.

Many thanks!

So, although dracobigbang isn't actually due until March, I figured I should get my resources lines up sooner. I'm a good way into my fic and I will definitely be making the minimum word limit of 20k.

Pen Name: sugareey
Rating of the story: Probably R, but this may change.
Spoilers/Time Line/Era: EWE, right after DH and the Battle of Hogwarts
Pairing: Harry/Draco (along with some others)
Beta Type: SPAG, Brit-Pick, Plot, Story Flow, etc.
Harshness: I am totally okay with criticism. I want you to be honest with me about what works and what doesn't work. Be straightforward, ask for clarifications, and make suggestions. I'll definitely be happy to get a second opinion.
Warning: Somewhat plot-heavy, angsty and mysterious. Nothing ridiculously dark, so no worries
Extras: Some references to stuff from the show Supernatural, since there are ghosts/spirits involved here. I'm not going to expose too much, but it's obviously not done yet. However, it would be very awesome if I could talk to someone so I can bounce off my ideas to see if they will work.

If interested, please email at krissym1470@hotmail.com or just PM for more details. Thanks!

I need a beta for a het, next-gen fic for a Winter Fic Exchange! I can't give away too much, except that it's for the rarepair_shorts exchange so if you are participating in that, obviously you can't beta this fic. It'll be somewhat around the 1500 word mark (although it is a work-in-progress right now) and probably will be done by January 1st. I'll give out fic details in a PM to anyone who is interested! Thanks in advance.
