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.

Also, I'd be happy to beta this if you haven't found someone at a comm. I'm American, though, and my only Britpicking credentials come from trying to root the Americanisms out of my own HP fic over the years, so not sure how helpful this offer is. ;)

Okay, actually I just looked at your LJ post and I see you're covered. I'm really not very good at this split journal thing.
