Who Wants to Help Me With Chapter 6? · 8:59am Aug 10th, 2014
Alright, so I got off my lazy buns and started writing chapter six the other day. It's about half way done right now. This is going to be a very intense chapter, with lots of happy and sad all over the walls. Because of that, I want to do something that I've never done before: I want to get an editor. Or two. Or three. I'm turning to all you beautiful people to help me out. Basically I just want to give you the finished chapter, then tell me what you like, what you didn't like, any grammatical errors I missed, and any of your own ideas for how I might improve what I've already got before I put it up for the rest of the beautiful people to see. See?
Comment below if you're interested in helping a brutha out. Please note, I'm going to need some proof that you actually know what you're talking about when it comes to writing, so in order for me to give you my brain child, you have to have written at least one story on here so I can read it and judge you with my god complex. The more stories the better.
Alright, now I'm just going to tell you why I'm not turning to any of the editing groups on here for help, so if you don't want to hear it you can stop reading. Basically, I don't feel comfortable giving my hard work to someone to read when they have no idea whether they'd like the story or not. I want someone who's been keeping up with it to be the compass keeping it on track, someone who truly loves the story and doesn't want to see it crash into a giant iceberg and slowly sink below the murky depths that are fan fiction hell. Damn, that was a good metaphor. Alright, anywho, that's my reasoning and I'm sticking to it. Unless, you know, no one cares enough to read chapter six before everyone else. which would suck. A lot. Seriously, you'd be able to hear me flush my ego down the toilet. From Canada. Only Toronto, though. Nowhere else... yeah... I'm kinda hungry now. Laters.
What you need my bother!?
2358106 You interested in editing? If so I'm gonna have to take your stories and beat them with my god complex until cheap dangerous Mexican candies fall out of them like a dollar store piñata.
I don't care, my stories suck. I got to go, so PM me it and I'll get it to you by 13:36.
There's a funny thing here. I've actually just resumed work on the sixth chapter of my story. So this timing is a little uncanny.

Oh good one Eyvind!
I'll help with ideas and pacing but... well look at the first chapter of my one story and you'll see what my writing looks like without an editor backup. I'll still help though.
2358149 every pair of willing eyes is a plus, my friend
I`m willing to help. I do have a story on this site so you can look at it for proof. (But it probably won`t mean much since I`m not good at correcting my own work.) Anyways, I can help find spelling errors and such, though I am a little nit-picky. Can`t wait to hear back. Until next time,

I'm always willing to proofread/share my thoughts about a chapter or a story. Not much of a writer though, I mainly read. Still, there is one story I wrote on my profile page. Up to you, the offer is there. No hard feelings whatever you decide. Cheers.

2364168 I would love to have a litte sneak peek and a hand/ paw/ hoof in helping this story out.
All hell ya! Let me go my soap and toothpaste and I'll be ready....ready.
2364429 I got impatient and posted the chapter already. I'm fickle like that.
It cool dawg. I'm a go read it. And, you a gamer?

No, it doesn't work that E. Console?
2364548 PS3, PC, DS, GameBoy
2364559 Favorite game series?
2364624 Oh boy, that's a tough one.
Let's see, there's:
Pokémon
Legend of Zelda
Gran Turismo
Call of Duty
Assassins Creed
Uncharted
Madden
Resident Evil
God of War
Those are most of the major ones. League of Legends too, but that's not a series. If I had to pick a favorite, I guess it would have to be Legend of Zelda, just because almost every game they make is perfect.
2364649 I like your choices though you forgot the Arkam series my second fav
2364658 Gah, I've yet to play those unfortunately. I've heard great things, though.
2364662 What about...(looks around) the Dead Space series.
2364727 I've only played dead space 2, but it scared the shit out of me.
2364765 I've played the series enough that I laugh at necromorphs. I can even pinpoint when, where and how many will attack in the next room.
2364808 That's what Resident Evil is like for me now.
