Title of chapter. I need a pre-reader, or at least someone to contact, in the event that the sequel to Visual Prowess (Which will be called Ocular Talent) is written. There are no words currently, but... with the chance that it actually starts being written, I need someone to contact.
Despite the fact that my story is shitty as fuck, and is full of mistakes (easily viewed by reviewing on how easy it was for DPV111 to poke holes in the flimsy logic of the story, not to mention just by reading the piece itself) somehow, people still like it, which is I guess the nature of fanfiction anyway.
My writing style is still developing, and I'm pretty new in an ancient craft that people have been practicing since long before I was born. It's easy to see this in the amateurish content of this story. A pre-reader would help it seem to suck less, despite the fact that it does.
So here are the five requirements of a pre-reader, for me.
1. (And this is why I don't just go to one of the places where you can get pre-readers, because they might not know enough about Naruto, besides the fact that I want to give someone who read and liked the story a chance to be a pre-reader) They need to know A LOT about Naruto. A lot a lot. In and outs of the manga, most of the plot, etc. I really don't want there to be so many mistakes like there was in the first story, not to mention on how boring the fight scenes were.
2. The pre-reader has to know English very well, and be talented enough in grammar/spelling. You'd figure this goes without saying, but just in case, I'm putting this up there.
3. They have to be able to read fast enough. It doesn't do me any good to have a pre-reader if you email me my chapters back by 2017 for publication.
4. You can't be nice to me. This is actually the most important out of the list. I need someone to stomp on my balls hard if I make a mistake and make sure to point it out, and even argue with me if necessary. There's no point in having a pre-reader if they bend too easily to mistakes in the story.
5. You need to have the time to pre-read. This goes along with number 3, basically. There's nothing else to say in this point, really.
I think that's about everything. So, put in the comments if you're willing or interested in pre-reading. I'll have names to refer back to in the event that Ocular Talent actually begins being written. In other news, I've been lately editing, harshly, I might add, my shitty ass real fiction novel that I wrote. Hoping to get it published eventually. Had an idea for another story too, with opposite values, since my first story, Blank Malevolence, one of the main themes was fear. In that story, it'd probably be bravery. But enough rambling. This is all you need to know for now. So yeah, comment below if you're interested.
I guess that's it for now.
And I know that you're not supposed to post chapters without story content, but if I put in my blog, no one would read it or see it, at least not from my perspective. I don't have that many followers, so I don't think that I would get any pre-readers. My two cents.
