Proofreader/editor needed! [closed]

#1 Post by azureXtwilight » Thu Aug 29, 2013 12:15 pm

Once upon a time there is a young woman who wants to make OELVN but since english is not her first language she tried to get some proofreaders to help her story got through. But apparently there is always a mistake somewhere (why reviewers why) so she begins to wonder if good, kind people who are good in english can help her in some way.

So I really beg you to help me proofread! Some great people has helped along the way but since humans make errors and other problems to attend to it's possible for them to miss some mistakes. I'd like 4-5 people who can do proofreading jobs so they can spot things the other proofreaders missed. (There won't be too many words! Only around 35.000 I promise! ;^;)

Anyway, here's the project I'm working at:

I would be very happy you have a little knowledge in ren'py so you can open the .rpy file and edit it without damaging the coding~ Thank you very much!

Well, as someone who enjoyed Doppelganger immensely but was irritated by the huge amount of text errors (to the point where I seriously thought about volunteering to edit the blasted thing myself), this seems like an ideal opportunity to offer my services :) No prior experience besides unpublished Ren'Py projects of my own, but as an English native I'm confident I can make a difference here without screwing things up!

I can volunteer to help you with proof reading. I'm a native English speaker and have taken and passed college level English classes. I am familiar with the basic coding of Renpy and can easily identify what to touch and what not to screw with.
