omg please
Once again, I'm looking for someone to beta The Way Down.
Someone who can Brit pick would be nice.
There are 9 chapters, 4 of which have been posted and beta'ed, leaving 5 chapters at around 45 K. (The fic is finished.) I'm looking to get a chapter per week beta'ed, but really at this point it would just be nice to get it beta'ed at all. A chapter every two weeks? Who knows?
If you can't help, do you know who I can ask, or how to make this job sound appealing in any way, or whether other people have trouble getting betas, or whether they find not having one as depressing and oh-my-god-no-one-likes-me as I do, or whether I should just not bother, or why this is so hard?
All of the people who have helped me out have been wonderful, btw. They just have other things going on in real life, which I completely understand.
I'm thinking about not having it beta'ed at all at this point, but the ending is really bad, and I wish I could ask someone about it. Also my Americanisms hurt me. I don't really know what to do.
eta: alairzin_nyc mentioned asking at a comm. I . . . actually hadn't thought of that. Oh, lol, self.

It's been a while since I wrote in HP...I was pretty disappointed in the last couple books, and my intense love for it has cooled. I mainly wrote Remus/Sirius and occasionally Harry/Snape or Harry/Draco. Much of it is up on my AO3 account, but I haven't been great about archiving.
And I'd be happy to read your fic and weigh in on the ending. Honestly, I have a lot of down time at work (long boring story) and I've found that reading/writing/editing are very effective ways of making it look like I'm working without actually working. You can send to bowdlerized at gmail.
