    Being this is a part of writting I'll post it here.

    For those who are willing to edit and are able too, post here. An editor is definitely needed to make a story better.

    Editors check spelling, grammar, and punctuation. They also pick apart a story, poem, or etc to make it better. They look at wither a part needs to be more descriptive. Or if a part feels too rushed. Wither or not a writter uses what they say is up to the writter. It is best to have an unbiased opinion though.

    I am willing to edit members work. Are their any others?

    Since I'm curious to see how it is, I'd like to see a sample of how it's going to work, though you're probably gonna hate me for loosing the actual file :D

    It's for members who would like their work editted very needed part in creative writting. Good good.

    And Seishin it may take some time for yours. As far as spelling goes. I use a spell checker. I did have a question on a few things.

    Well Alchemy_Dude I did chapter 1. Grammar those far. I want to review a few things. Give me a little more time.

    I personnal think editting is needed. It is up to BB if she always this thread.

    I wanted an editor anyway mainly because all my RL buddies are biased. They think all my work is great which I personnal can't agree on.

    Hehe wert I will be using you. :p :D

    Anyone who wants me to edit their work send me an email at silverpedal@hotmail.com

    Let me know who you are in a PM though only once.

    Editors are also called betas. =D

    I think beta sounds cooler. =D

    Perosnally these are processes i prefer to go other through MSN messenger, so the editor/beta can bring up stuff right away as they're reading. =)

    Eh, I'm not any good at this stuff myself, but I have been looking for a good beta. XO Basher, next time you're on MSN, I might call on ya. XD

    Amen. I'm not a particularly avid anime watcher or manga reader, so just about all I can do well here is rant on the psychology forums and write.

    Cool. We have a good group.

    You can email me any just remember to put in your BJP name. I'll try and get it done asap.

    I made a forum part of free.boards.jp to answer the problem of never being on when others are. Anyone is welcome to join. I think it would be easier so you can "talk." Link is in my sig.

    So Alchemy_Dude I finished chapter 1. I plan on PMing you soon with it. I want to work on chapter 2.

    I kind of like betas.

    Seishin if you could put it in a format where we can either Quote or highlight it would be way easier.
