Asking for help

Jul 07, 2010 22:21

Okay then... just a little post with a double (triple) purpose:

1) reassuring you that I'm still alive (yay!) and that I'm currently working on the next fic.
 2) apologizing for not having written anything new recently, as you don't even know what had been the result of my survey... :p
 3) asking for help.

Because lately I've got really little time to ( Read more... )

betareader, public request

ti conviene linkarlo su una delle comm di fanfic, forse lì lo vede più gente e risponde qualcuno^^

Sì ma ho bisogno vorrei che fosse un mio lettore "abituale" :p
E sto sperando su una o due persone in particolare che vorrei si candidassero, lo ammetto... visto ke leggiamo l'una le fic dell'altra e apprezziamo i nostri rispettivi stili di scrittura :p

Cmq intanto l'ho appena postato, domattina vedrò se qualcuno avrà risposto, e poi deciderò sul da farsi ^^

(e intanto rassicuro tutti che sto lavorando su qualcosa! :p) LOL

sì so che hai appena postato, mettevo le mani avanti XD
Io di sicuro non sono adatta a fare la beta XD
Prima si offre qualcuno prima leggiamo, c'era il motivo di fondo XD

*hides*

Aaah hai capito! :D Sei una stalker del mio journal che commenta solo nei momenti più opportuni quindi! XD

Benissimo. Terrò la tua esigenza in alta considerazione. :p

PS: dio mio quanto adoro la tua userpic °____° ...e immagino di non essere la prima a dirlo, LOL

mi offro io! Così servirà il dizionario ARAMAICO ANTICO-INGLESE per capire che hai scritto XDDDDD

Ovviamente scherzo e spero che tu trovi la beta reader dei tuoi sogni *O*

Hi dear! Okay, so I honestly tried to look at the comments first before writing this to see if someone already volunteered...But it turned out I didn't understand any of the comments so far XD

Anyway, if you still don't have a beta reader, I would like to try! Warning though, it would be my first time, but I think I can check for some mistakes and if the flow is inconsistent or something. :D That is, if you still haven't found any beta reader yet :P

Yes... 14 comments and it's all spam XD

I'll kill my Italian readers later, LOL
None of them were talking about volunteering so... the role is still vacant ^_^

Let me ask you first a couple of questions:
1) is english your first language?
2) apart from betaeing, how experienced are you in writing (or also reading :p) english written fics? :O

Um, no, English is not my first language, but it is the language used in school. So from grade school to college I have had a very good grasp of the language because most subjects were taught in English.

As for the second question, do novels count? I have read a lot of english-written novels in the past, and I rarely read novels in my native language XD I mostly read romance novels, and some popular ones like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series. As for fanfiction, I have been reading them for a while now. ^^

Now for writing. I must admit I lack experience in writing an actual story. Maybe I have written only a few for school projects? My problem is that sometimes I could come up with an awesome line in my head, but then I would get stuck with just that or my mind cannot organize my thoughts enough to build up the story. XD

So that's it! I'm not sure if my qualifications are okay, so I'm pretty much open to the possibility that I'm not the one you're looking for XD

LOL, I've just taken a job interview ^o^

As you've said, it seems that you know English far better than me even though it's not your mothertongue... so it's more than okay ^^

As for the second question I think it'll be okay as well even though you haven't written much, because if you're used to read novels (written from professional authors) you should know how a good story "should appear" XD LOL

Said that... the job is yours!!! Yeeee \o/
Congratulations! XD

(would you please let me know privately your e-mail address so I'll send you my current file? ^^)

At the moment I've already found a betareader but since it's the first time for her doing this, I'm not sure yet if at the end of this current fic she will be willing to accept "another job" or if it's too heavy/boring/bothersome, etc (as English is not my mothertongue and sometimes there are quite a lot of mistakes) :p

In that case, I could ask you for help in the next future (if I'll lose my betareader again) ;)

Thank you very much for your gentle offer!!! ^__^
