The Perfect Storm Sequel - Beta Request

Hello, all!
I'm looking for someone to PLEASE beta my sequel to The Perfect Storm.
The plus is that you'd get to read it before everyone else.
The minus is that it's rough, really rough, and you'd be reading that before anyone else. Even so, I think I've gotten it to a place where I can at least start to put the pieces I've written together into a coherent whole. While in some ways the sequel is not as dark as its progenitor, there is what's essentially a 30,000-word, pretty heavy BDSM scene, as well as flashbacks, PTSD, references to rape and torture, and explicit violence.
With over 70,000 words in rough chunks written out, this is not a request for the faint of heart. Some chapters and bridgework are essentially still a gleam in my eye, but they're a gleam I'd really like to get out of my head if at all possible. In addition, if everything that needs to be written gets written, this could wind up being over 100,000 words very easily - it just depends on the feedback I get and how my muse responds to it.
I would prefer that any volunteers be familiar with The Perfect Storm and be willing to tell me where I'm going wrong in keeping with the spirit of that story. The latter is very important to me, as this is still my baby and I'd like for her sister to be as well-cared-for as she was.
Thank you very much in advance for any and all volunteers.
Comments to this entry will be screened and any responses will be answered via PM or e-mail, as per the volunteer's request.
ETA: Wow, that was fast! Thank you! :)
