 Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2005 3:08 pm Post subject: Beta needed for a LOTR/Harry Potter crossover |
 |
|
OK, so here's the deal: I am looking for someone to beta my Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings crossover. I have the first six chapters posted under the crossovers section (the title is "Alone Facing Darkness"). In essence, it is my story of what would happen if the Harry Potter trio were thrown, against their will, into the world of Middle-Earth. (Read the story if you would like to find out how)
The reason I am looking for a beta now? Well, I do have a friend doing the beta work, but to tell the truth, she is more helpful in giving me insight on the interactions between the characters as well as the few Harry Potter canon bits (no offense meant, because I think that the chapters have turned out relatively well so far). However, as I progress deeper into the story and get the HP characters more embroiled in the LOTR world, I am writing my own scenes and am getting more concerned about LOTR canon.
The story is posted here: http://www.openscrolls.net/fanfic/story.php?no=1425&sid=0816c86b10ce444fdaf9554d3baa32e0
Please respond to this post or send me a PM of you are interested. Thanks!

I can aide you in that particular field if the need arises. I have read all five (and soon all six) of the HP books five or six times over. (Yes, I have no social life whatsoever), and have read the LOTR trilogy almost as much. So any character developments or anything else you need help with I can do. Or anything else you need for that matter.
An now before my mind goes off once again on a wild goose chase.....

I can help you with canon facts, both from LOTR and HP. I'm no use at grammar, though. My Betas would die from laughter if I even pretended that I could help in that area. I'm a tried and true canon-junkie. I adore hunting through the books for facts and quotes. If you need help there, just send me a PM or e-mail. It might take me a day or two, but I'll be able to find some facts to help.
Ignore ghetto. She can rarely explain what she's thinking in coherant terms. (I  you, ghetto).

I'm so sorry Galadriel, I accidentally posted a new thread in here. And I had to delete but it wouldn't let me get rid of it completely. I'm so so so so sorry, I didn't realize what that looked like. 
Going away now
Thanks for the rescue Vannums 
Poor Galadriel, I'm so sorry.

It's ok, ghetto....Don't worry about it  As for VanaTheEverYoung (any nickname for that?) and Alquavani...When would you like to start? I have Chapter 7 written and ready to be beta-ed (Warning: it's 23 pages long), but if you want me to send the entire story as a document that's fine too...
Sorry if I'm incoherent. Still studying for exams, would you believe it?
Anyways...hmmm. What was I going to say? I can't really remember now, perhaps it'll come back later.
I hate exams.

You can email them to me as soon as you would like. My E-addy is Arienwenoimladris@yahoo.com, or Arienwen@aol.com. I will read and review them as soon as possible, and get them back to you!!
Until then!!

Vana will do just fine  . My e-mail address is in my profile. Send whenever you feel like it. You can send chapters or just questions. I'm always happy to help with canon

| OK...just one thing I'd like to know, Vana and Alquavani: how much of the posted story have you read (just so I know how much to send)? |

I know you read my review because I read your response. (Silly Galadriel). I guess some people could come up with that from one chapter, but not me. I read it all. Send whatever you want.

Hehe...sorry, Vana, I read your review after I made the post on this forum. I've already sent the chapter your way (to the e-mail that's on your profile).
Thanks again for the review and for deciding to beta. Chapter 8 is requiring a bit of actual reasearch for combat skills, so it'll take a bit more than a week- maybe two - to finish. But it'll be much faster now that EXAMS ARE OVER and SUMMER IS HERE!!! (I'm so giddy...  )

I've so far read only the first chappy, but I liked it so far, lol!! I haven't had much time with my compy this week, so I haven't read much. So go ahead and send away, Galadriel!!
