LF > Editor/Proofreader for VN! [CLOSED4NAO]

#1 Post by lemonscent » Mon Jul 01, 2013 7:51 pm

BASICS
So first off, I need editors/proofreaders for my VN, ★Remembrance. If you want a summary, character descriptions, etc., click the link in my signature! Guess who's too lazy to copy paste? But basically it's a story about a soul eater exterminator who becomes a soul eater. Yup. Angst alert. SR is an otome game, although it'll be more plot-oriented than romance-oriented. Genres vary by route, but here's a rough list: romance, (internal) drama, adventure (Minho's route), mystery (Sunny's route), etc.

WHY I NEED YOU
My grammar tends to go way out of whack at certain points in the story, and I suck at varying word choice. So basically, if you speak English fluently, you're golden. A degree in English? Marry me. That would probably make you a pedophile though, justafairwarning. But I digress. However, I don't just want corrections on the technical stuff. But I'm recruiting multiple editors/proofreaders, so if all you're good at is grammar, so be it. I'll still love you. I'll (hopefully) have at least two editors crit each scene, since two people = two drastically different viewpoints. Below is a short list of what I'd like help with, but you defs don't have to help me with every single one.

WHAT I NEED RIGHT NOW
✖ Grammar, punctuation, word choice, and other technical stuff
✈✈ Self-explanatory
✖ Plot management
✈✈ Are there parts in the story that don't add up?
✖ Angst management
✈✈ The FMC (Lisette) ended up so angsty and annoying it's almost funny. I need help toning that down.

LENGTH OF WORK
The length really depends on how much you're willing to help me:)
But if you're helping me with plot/angst management, I think it'd be easiest for both of us if I give you a scene at a time to crit. Each scene is about 2000 words, maybe less. Sorry if that's too long, but if I only give you a part of a scene, you're just going to get super confused about everything.. Q~Q

HOW TO HELP
If you're helping me with grammar/wordchoice/etc., I'll send you the script and you can painstakingly make edits in a different color. /shot
If you're helping me with managing angst/plot, I'll send you the script and you can send me a quick note telling me what was confusing/angsty and why. Also telling me possible ways to fix the confusion/angst would be A++, but that's far from required.

PM or post on this thread if interested. And if not, um, thanks for taking the time to read this thread... I guess. Oh, and in case you're curious, you're not gonna be paid. So. Um. Okay. Sorry Q___Q And again, thanks for reading!
