Reopening Beta Reader Search: Unpublished Time-Travel Longfic
Reopening my beta reader search!
I posted here last week looking for readers for my unpublished SSHG longfic, and I’ve gotten some really useful feedback from the people who’ve had time to read. Fresh eyes have already helped me tighten a few things and strengthen the story, so I’d love to bring in a few more readers.
I’m opening up Chapters 1–10, 57k words.
It begins in January 1997, during Half-Blood Prince. Hermione and Professor Snape are sent on a wartime mission involving a Time-Turner. I’m keeping the rest vague because the theories/reactions have been half the fun.
It’s eventual SSHG, very slow burn, and there is no romantic or sexual relationship between student Hermione and Professor Snape. I’m aiming for canon-adjacent characterization: no Ron bashing, no evil Dumbledore, no suddenly cuddly Snape.
What I’m mostly looking for is reader reaction: theories, confusion, pacing issues, anything that feels OOC, scenes that hit, things that make you laugh, yell, or go “WTF." 😂 Google Doc comments are perfect. I’m not really looking for heavy grammar editing.
If that sounds like your thing, comment or message me and I’ll send you the link. And thank you again to the people already reading! I’ve been having way too much fun with your comments.
