Mar. 27th, 2009 02:58 pmHi, friends list.
So, okay. I'm being crazy-stupid and doing this ginormous 20K fanfic thingie.
I'm writing this kind of cool and kind of ridiculous story I thought of years ago, when playing on XMM, of a Harry Potter/X-Men crossover. It's a serious plotted story, just... you know, a crossover. Which always feel faintly ridiculous to me on a basic level.
There are beta requirements for the challenge, and I don't have a standard beta-reader. They'll try to provide one, but I know with crossovers, it can be hard. Since I know there are people who read this who are into X-Men and also into Harry Potter (or at least familiar with it), I thought I would ask here if anyone was interested in beta-reading for me?
It will be significantly down the line: the deadline for rough drafts is July 3. Also, this fic will probably be 25,000-35,000 words by the time I'm done, so, um, big. The basic plot is that there's a kid who is both a wizard and a mutant, and the communities end up in contact with each other, and it starts raising questions about the viability of the statute of secrecy and whether there's a natural alliance. Is the mutant community really muggle, or is it wizardlike? How will the triad settle down? It's Hermione-centric.
Anyway. If no one's interested, I will just rely on the mercy of the community over there. I just thought I should give it a shot here. :)
