mijan: (Canon Error: Apply Fanfic)

I need a beta.  The fic in question is Star Trek.  Kirk and McCoy are the main characters.  It's just under 15K words long.  The rating is NC-17.  It's triggery.  It's intense.  It's hardcore.  It's an absolute MIND-FUCK.  I need a beta who can mentally handle rape or non-con in a story.  It would also help if you have a decent understanding of some of the harder sides of BDSM. 

It's set in the same fanfic universe as AAtKM, "Crossfire," and "In Perfect Trust."  (For those who didn't catch it, "In Perfect Trust" actually takes place after "Crossfire."  In fact, IPT directly references Crossfire.)  The NC-17 stories attached to that universe are directly dependent on the main stories, but the main stories are not dependent on the NC-17 ones.  Still, you don't need to be familiar with the rest of that universe to beta this.

So... who wants to beta?

Replies will be screened because I need to select the beta for this carefully.  If I don't pick you, it's not because I don't love you.  ♥

What is a beta?

A beta (or beta reader) is someone who goes over someone else's story from top to bottom, and provides varying levels of editing. Some people only beta for spelling and grammar. Some people beta for plot problems. Some beta for characterizations and canon-accuracy. Some people just shred the story from top to bottom for any possible problems. Some betas even offer suggestions for anything from plot points to dialogue.

tl;dr... A beta is an editor for fanfiction.
