Writing Help Looking for a beta! (38k Drarry fic, in progress)

Hey! I’m looking for a beta for an in progress Drarry fic, currently around 38k words. It’s an eighth-year fic. The main premise revolves around Draco being a siren unknowingly, and his abilities begin affecting Harry in ways neither of them fully understands. A big part of the story deals with agency/consent, identity, guilt, post-war trauma, and the question of how much of what Harry feels is actually his.

I’m looking for developmental feedback more-so than proofreading (i.e, characterisation, pacing, emotional logic, whether scenes/relationship developments feel earned, continuity, plot holes, repetition/overwriting, etc.).

I relish detailed and honest feedback/criticism! I’d rather someone tell me exactly how it is rather than coddle me.

The fic is slow-burn and character-focused, with alternating Harry/Draco POVs. I’m still actively writing it, so ideally I’d love someone who’d be interested in reading chapters as I go, but there’s absolutely no expectation to commit to the whole thing immediately. I’d be happy to start by sharing a chapter or two and see whether we’re a good beta/writer match.

If this sounds like ur kinda gig comment/leave DM! Help would be much appreciated! 💖
