Hi community!

I'm looking for a beta for my [livejournal.com profile] deflower_draco fic. [livejournal.com profile] deflower_draco's current round is focusing on het stories with Virgin!Draco, which I'm sure is of interest to some people in this community. :P

You say that it is a little late to look for a beta for a fic due on August 22nd? Well, yes. It totally is. I was really, really planning on finishing this fic sooner! Still, here I am! I posted previously in [livejournal.com profile] hp_betas_wanted and [livejournal.com profile] hp_betas for a different fic, but got no bites. So, I figured I should come directly to Dramione-shippers! I can't give many details about the fic, as [livejournal.com profile] deflower_draco is anonymous, but it's looking like it's going to be about 15k and MA/NC-17/E/(Pick the highest rating possible). No warnings, other than unrepentant smut, apply to the fic. Everyone is overage and everything is consensual.

I've actually never written sex scenes before, so I'm a bit worried that I have totally botched it and written really baffling scenes. POV, tenses and the like are proving to be a bit tricky for sex scenes, so I'm looking for a beta who'd be very comfortable reading, critiquing and de-tangling explicit scenes as needed. I'd also love general feedback on story flow/characterization and the like, but my main concern is finding a reader who's willing to read and take apart the explicit sections. For obvious reasons, a beta would also need to be overage. :)

I'm hoping to have the first draft finished today or (at the latest) tomorrow, so of betaing this fic on a tight deadline sounds up your alley, drop me a line! I would really, really be grateful. :)

Also, this fic should pretty much be Exhibit A in the song 'The Internet is for Porn'. Wait, you don't know that song? Let me link it! (It is totally NSFW!)
