That's It. I Need A Beta.

Aug 14, 2009 08:43


Oooooh! I'm so fed up with making mistakes in my writing, both spelling and grammer alike, that I flat out give up!! I don't think my low self esteem can take another comment that mentions it!!!

Somebody, ANYBODY, please put me out of my misery by taking pity on me and be my beta!! I wish this wouldn't bother me so, but it does...waay more than it ( Read more... )

o.0 I think your writing's beautiful! Everyone has small mistakes ;) no matter how much we look over it, put it through spellcheck, nitpick. When I write and see grammar mistakes after I post, I wonder how in hell I missed them xD!

but another set of eyes does help, I can beta for you (yay I gotz experience on mah side).

email is samantha.evans89@yahoo.com if you want me to ;)

You like my writing? Gee, I wish I did. Oh! But thank you anyway! And you're so right about spellcheck. Fat lot of good it really is, when the main words they say I'm spelling wrong are 'Gotham', 'Gordon', 'Schiff', 'Arkham', and any swear word other than 'damn'. It's really annoying. B[

o//o!! You...you'd like to me my, beta??? Holy shit, but I didn't think anybody would actually answer me on this. I don't know what to say, I'm really speechless. I can't even figure what to write here! I went boating all day today, and came back and saw all the comments here, and I see that including you I've got two who are willing to actually read my dribble. I don't know what to do now....I'm seriously lost here. I thought I'd get lucky and have one person offer, maybe. But, not MORE than one!! I know it's really stupid of me to ask, but it's 1:16 in the morning over here and my brain isn't working so I can't think clearly, but what should I do?? *Flails* I can't believe I'm asking this!!! D8>!!! Oh, I'm going to regret it much later in the ( ... )

Yay!! But....now what do I do?

Do I just send it to you in an email, and then you fix it up and send it back?? Well, since I don't know and I have to go to work in a few hours (then I'm going back to Wisconsin for a VERY short vacation) I'm just going to do that, and I hope to Heathus I did it right. :/

And which icon do you like?? >:3

OMG! OMGOMGOMG I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SO SORRY!!!!! D8!!!

I was getting it all set and ready to send the email to you but my friend showed up to take me to Wisconsin and was terribly impatient to want me to do something like this real quick. I thought about bringing the computer with me to the trip, but she said there's no internet access out there. SO I wouldn't have been able to send it anyway. :(SO I never got to send it yet cuz after I got home it was time to start up my Halloween job (which I adore, but it's fricken far away, dammit) but now I have some free time before I have to go back to work there and I'm going to send it to you now and I'm SORRY!!!!!! Please forgive a scatterbrain like me!! ;0;

Sending it now!! SORRY!!!

and also I hate those people (no matter how good their intentions are) that point out mistakes in people's writing, especially if you can't change it.

It's like yeah I know why do you have to fucking remind me that I messed up.

sorry, just needed to rant.

thesingingbush August 16 2009, 00:19:09 UTC
No no, rant all you want. I TOTALLY agree, and you know where I'm getting all this "your spelling and grammer is wrong!" stuff? It's from fanfiction.net. Go figure. Say, I was going to send another thing up there, do you mind if I send you the copy that I put up on my journal for you to fix first before I send it to the real critics?? :3

I'll give you a kitten. I just got one for free, and she's blonde and her name is Peanut X3!!!

(btw, *points* LOVE your icon OO!!!)

YAY KITTEN *huggle* And feel free to send me that, I'm eager to get back into beta-ing for people, it's been awhile *cracks knuckles*

fanfiction.net annoys me. In the archives the sheer number of mary-sues and stupid OCs or whatever boggles my mind. Ugh. I WILL EAT THEM FOR BREAKFAST I SWEAR.

and everyone tends to be real bastards about shit, I don't even know. I don't even hardly bother with that place anymore.
