Calling Pre-readers! Anyone interested? · 1:55pm Apr 19th, 2014
Hi all!
I've been quiet again lately because I've been moving house! I'm now living with a friend in a small town not far from where I was before - but I am now within walking distance of civilisation (which, as you would expect, has both its benefits and its drawbacks). But it's a lovely place, and once we've made it our own it's going to be awesome!
Despite the general business, I have got a couple of chapters written for Eyes On You. The first, I have been over as much as I can, and need a fresh pair of eyes to take a look at it for me. Anyone who is interested, please comment or PM me, and I'll send you a link as soon as I've got the draft formatted and on the site. I'm not too bothered about grammar, it's more the storyline and atmosphere I'm looking for feedback on (though if you want to help with grammar too you're more than welcome!)
The second chapter is written, but not gone over yet. Once I've cleaned it up, I'll send that one off for pre-reading too.
The third and final chapter ( :O ) was written ages ago, and lost in the depths of computer storage space. I'm hoping I can find it, because it is quite well written, if I remember it rightly. If I can't find it, I'll have to rewrite it completely.

These three chapters make up the three part epilogue to the story. One to tie things up with You-Know-Who, one for our protagonists, and the final one to show the progress of the characters X amount of time later. I'm still debating whether to release them one at a time or all at once... Hopefully anyone willing to pre-read will be able to offer some advice on that.

That's it for now - back to writing and moving! As above, let me know if you're happy to pre-read one or more of the epilogue chapters.
Stay awesome, everypony!
Part of me really wants to help as a prereader, because I'm huge fan of that story. But on the other hand, I don't know if I could really help.
Being a non-native speaker, I can tell that you're not going to get grammar help from me (not like you want it, yeah, but still I guess I had to mention it), so I guess I could help with pacing/characterization/overall flow of the story. That's more or less my best field. That and stupid jokes, but I doubt you want stupid jokes in Eyes on You.
(About the 'how to publish the chapters' thing, I would recommend publishing it in two parts, including the one who shows the progress of the characters after X amount of time with the second update. Then again, I would need to read the chapters first.
Sooo long story short, hell yes I'm interested in prereading, as long as you want my help.
I'm the same as Aragon, I'd like to be a pre-reader but unsure how much help I'd be. I guess if you don't find anyone else, I'd be more than happy to take a look.
In any case, I look forward to reading it, Eyes On You was one of the first stories I read and I think it will always be one of my favourites
2024303 2024318 Fantastic! Yes that's great both of you, really what I want is just for a few people to read it through and let me know what you think of the story.
I'll PM you both with the link!
And Aragon - that sounds like a good idea actually. I'll keep thinking about it, but could be that I go with that!
... Tidus?
(Here's hoping you've played FFX-2
)
I guess I can help out. Since I love this story to death, we could call it even, in a sense!
2024933 I have indeed, and I see what you did there
2025042 Cool! Alright, I'll send you the link!
I'd be more than happy to help as a pre-reader. I've been following this story for something like half a year now, and really want to see it have a satisfying ending.
2036030 I can't believe it's been going for so long! Glad to have people like you sticking with me throughout all this time. Thanks, I'll send you a link!
2038427 Not at all, I am rushed off my feet at the moment so I haven't had a chance to work on feedback yet. And the more I can get, the better! Also reading other peoples' work can be helpful in inspiring you to continue your own story, at least that's what I've found.
Cool! Link on its way!
I'd gladly volunteer to be a pre-reader.
2045172 And I have gladly sent you a link!
Thanks a lot!
