I need a beat reader for my brand new RtB fic: "The Founders at Hogwarts"
You can read the prologue here:
Prologue
What I need help with:
First off, English isn't my first language. So, most of my problems lie with grammar and sentence structure. I also occasionally mix up "to"/"too" and "of"/"off". I'm at war with prepositions.
Secondly, this is my very first HP fic, so I'd love to get advice on how to get the voices right, or even on some HP stuff I might have missed.
Thirdly, I speak and write British English. So, it would be great if my future beta would do that, too.
What I plan to do with the story:
The fic is a mixture of RtB and AU fanfic. The founders appear in Hogwarts during Harry's forth year on the evening before the champions for the Triwizard Tournament are chosen. They try to find out what exactly has gone wrong with Rowena's new "relocation" -spell, meet up with Harry, Neville, Luna, and Draco, and while researching find the Harry Potter books in a forgotten corner of the library. They start reading the forth book, helping Harry through the Tournament, and generally overhauling Hogwarts on the side...
I plan to have them read the books 4 to 7, all during the Triwizard Tournament.
Who will read:
Rowena, Godric, Salazar, Helga
Harry, Neville, Draco, Luna
Pairings: (most likely)
Neville / Hannah
Draco / Astoria
(I want to take a look at how exactly Draco and Astoria got to know each other. The same for Neville and Hannah.)
How far am I with writing:
I've got the first chapter halfway done. It's taking me longer than I htought, because there's no RtB-part in it yet. I hope that I'll have that finished by next week. After that, I hope to finish one chapter every two or three weeks...
So, please, if you are interested to help me take a look at the prologue, see if my writing style is something for you, and contact me. And if you have some other questions, feel free to ask.
