Proofreader and Editor FOR FREE

[lightlover55]

I'm happy to help anyone who wants it! I don't get called a grammar nazi for nothing. >^> And I have experience writing code etc in Ren'Py.

Hello there, do you have any samples of writing or work of some kind? It's not like you are offering yourself for writing but anything would be nice to have some references

I'm in need of proofreaders/rewriters right now for my translation of my visual novel (I translated it myself to english, but english is not my first language so it sucks pretty bad). It's a story mostly of comedy and romance in your average school setting, but there are some psychological and philosophical themes inbetween. It's a bit more than 100k words long but I have more people helping me right now so it's not like I need someone to make all the work, but any help would be great.

Let me know if this is ok for you, and also if you can show some reference I would appreciate it because I'll need some rewriting for some scenes in english so I need people that have at least some level in composition and stuff like that.

It sounds very interesting! English is my first language since I live in the United States. I also am in college and have no classes every Tuesday, which means I'll have free time every week to work on a project.

As for examples, I'm just getting started in RenPy, but I can quickly type up something below...

I'm not sure if you're looking for prose or code examples, but here is example code with dialogue. It's not a serious work, but rather something I was making to figure out how to use Ren'Py better.

s "Well, I was walking along looking around like we agreed on, and I saw a bear laying in my way."

s "So naturally, I grabbed a stick and poked it to see if it was alive. Maybe I poked too hard?"

I'll be needing a proofreader soon. Script is not quite done yet, but is actually getting close. Can I hit you up once I'm finished?

...

I didn't need it with the code, just some writing was enough

I'm gonna send you a private right now with more details and we'll see from there.
