I've been having a harder time than usual finding a beta, due to one particular theme that is proving to be more and more controversial (& unexplored in this fandom) than I originally would have guessed.
This is for the
deflower_draco fest, so I'm putting the hairy details under a cut. Feel free to peak, and message/comment if you or someone you know might be interested!
Rating: NC-17

Summary: Draco is horrified to discover he's taken an interest in Granger & her strange Muggle plants during their last year of Hogwarts. As he searches for stronger and more potent highs to further repress his obsession with the Mudblood, he finds himself caught between old and new perceptions on society, family obligations, life, and...well, sex.
Genres: Drama, Alternate Universe ("Voldemort? Who's Voldemort?").
Warning: Sex between minors. Femslash. Graphic sexual scenes. And here's the kicker...substance use and in-depth talks about substance use (cigarettes, alcohol, hookah, marijuana, DMT, magic mushrooms, made-up intoxication potions).
This story is just about done. I'm adding a few more scenes to better round out Draco's conflicted character, then I'm giving it a final read-through. I've edited as I went along, re-reading everything more than once, so you're not reading a first draft.
While edits (spelling, grammar, etc.) are fantastic, I'm primarily focused on finding someone who can give me their honest critique on characters, development, plot, flow, believability.
Any offers for a quick Brit-pick would be great, as well!
Thanks for reading :)
* EDIT: FOUND ! Thanks everyone for the help. I have two potential betas and two extra eyes looking at the story, now :) In the future, if anyone needs a beta, let me know...my strengths are honest critiques, like I listed above.
