Looking for Someone to do Writing Critique

#1 Post by mysterialize »

I'm currently working on a project, however, I don't feel like I'm nearly far enough into it to post a topic about it. I want to at least get some screenshots done before I do that.

Even so, I do feel like I should have someone to critique and proofread the writing that I have done so far. I'm not going to say much about the project in this topic, but hopefully I'll be able to get someone who's willing to read over it even so.

I will say this much: It's a rather ambitious and long project, with multiple routes and endings. The genre is dark, modern fantasy/psychological thriller, and it's going to be rather low on the romance aspect. If you're interested in helping, then I'll probably be willing to send you some more information in PM.

So, if you have the patience to read a lot, and you have some decent writing experience, then I would find you pretty awesome if you helped me out. Of course, you're probably awesome outside of that, but this would make you even more awesome.

I'd be happy to proofread your script! :D

Oh, wait, is it in English? (Otherwise I will not be able to help that much :lol: )

Lemme know!

If you want, I'll give it a go too...sometimes it's a good idea to have more than one proofreader anyway, one will catch things the other miss :)

A third person? XD Well, maybe... hm.

Well, first, what do you mean by suggestions, exactly? Story suggestions?

not like "you're gonna have to do this instead of this"
I'll just read it, tell you what I thought and if I see some things that fall flat, story-wise, I'll tell you and in the end it's yourt story so it's up to you whether you want to follow through or leave as is.

Hm. That might actually be helpful. So, sure, why not? Just PM me your email address, and I'll send it to you too.

XD At least with all of this I'll get a nice variety of opinions.

Hmmm... lot of writing to go thru...

Did you want us to auto-correct stuff, or just add our suggestions in brackets?

Please add suggestions in brackets. That way I can tell what you changed.

Sorry about the length. When I said a lot of writing, I meant a lot of writing. XD

Heh, I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it at least. That's the main thing I hope to accomplish.

By the way, you don't have to send me all of the critique at once. Feel free to email me the files individually as you finish them, if you would prefer that. It would probably keep the workload from stacking up for all of us.

Are you on Google Docs yet, incidentally?
Don't worry, we can get through it together. I didn't forget about you! I just got overwhelmed.

Yes I am, actually. Why do you ask?

I did suggest it as a possible way to handle critique, but everyone seemed to prefer the email method.
