I am seeking somebody to help me proofread a Walkthrough that I'm working on. I will pay a hefty price for help with this. I will pick 1-3 people to help me out with this. Please note that I will peek at your Board History if I don't know you to see if you have decent grammar skills.

When you post, please let me know how much Viz you would want for proofreading 100 Words. (I will use this number, if I approve it, to pay you.) Please note that you must read through several hundred, possibly thousands, of words. It will not be all at once, though.

On3On :

You do pretty well with the way you type. Obviously, I know what to expect with you. Either way - more sets of eyes are better than just the writer. I'm hoping that somebody else steps forward too, before the time that I finish the first section. As soon as it's done, I'll PM it to you. (Shouldn't be too much longer.) As it stands, you'll have to read about 2,000 - 2,500 words, netting you at least 1,250 Viz. Sound good?

Ktanaqui : Yup, that's more then I could ask for.
I'm happy to get some work around here!

On3On :

Would you like entire sections at once, or just a number of words?

darthyoda :

How much Viz would you like for a hundred words?

Ktanaqui : I am a writer and would be more than happy to help you with anything that you may need. I won’t take any vizz because as a writer I know the value of having someone read over and helping me polish my material and I would love to be able to help someone in the same way others have helped me over the years.. If you need anything please don’t hesitate to PM me.

Most of my material averages between 2000 and 2500 words so I am use to reading through a lot. In fact most of my magazine work ends up being two page spreads (Sometimes three page) because I really believe in being thorough with my material. I look forward to hearing from you.

bvd1022 :

You positive that you don't want any for your help? ._.

Ktanaqui : I’m positive… If we were talking real money I would consider it, (Have been a freelancer for most of my life knows the struggle just to get paid for his work.) but I’m sure. If I could be of any help whatsoever let me know. I also use to proof read school reports for a friend of mine who is now a teacher so I have experience strictly as a proof reader as well.

Ktanaqui :  At last! You'll have a team working on this now.
As for your question, I'll settle with a whole section.

However, I'm willing to drop out now that there are others.
Two people is the most you would need for proofreading, and they are qualified!

Best of luck with the walkthrough.

bvd1022 :

Oh great! If I get real money any time soon that doesn't end up spent, I would offer real money. But... I don't, so.

darthyoda :

Does 35 Viz per 100 Words sound good then? That's halfway between your suggested amount and my maximum. At 2,000 Words, you'd get a net amount of 700 Viz.

On3On :

Are you requesting to drop out, or would you simply be willing to? I'd honestly rather you stay. I'd prefer a team of three to a team of two

To all three:

What I'm going to do is finish writing this section and then PM it to all three of you. You can send me back any of the corrections that you see and I'll make them. Sound good?

darthyoda :

You'll be correcting my work for my walkthrough. See here? (I posted this in the most recent post):

To all three:

To clarify - I mean reply via PM because I'm getting this thread closed as soon as it's sorted out.

darthyoda :

No problem. I /should/ have the first section done by tomorrow night.

Ktanaqui : It’s no problem really. You actually caught me at a relatively good time. I’ve been pretty much inactive since the summer and will only be working sporadically the next couple of weeks to finish out the year so I have no problem spending some of my spare time helping someone out. Like I said there have been many people that have helped me along over the years and I really appreciated everything those people did for me, offering advice, critiquing my work, and putting up with me in difficult times. If you’ve written before or have been published before you know that most writers initially don’t handle criticism well but it’s a necessity because it’s the only way you evolve and get better.

Ktanaqui : Roger that. And nope, I'll stay.

bvd1022 :

Which dumbfounds me about writers. I don't understand the lack of accepting criticism. x.x Nah, I'm totally up to it. Always have been

On3On :

Glad to have you on board!

Ktanaqui : Well one things a writer needs is strong convictions. (I speak from the perspective of a columnist) the problem is often by having strong convictions you can be head strong and set in your ways to a certain degree. In regard to myself I devoted a lot of time to learning to become a writer. A couple of the people I mentioned before, they more or less took me under their wing to a big degree but I will be the first to admit that they deserved a medal for having to put up with me because even I will admit; I wasn’t the easiest person to deal with.

I have also been put into the position of having to defend my material both in regard to things I say or having to defend my rights from a legal standpoint. Although those situation can be very stressful, and it has been, I can honestly say that I can’t really envision myself doing anything else. Situations like that aren’t enjoyable believe me but there are things that make the not so enjoyable experiences worth dealing with. I was able to do my first television appearance as a writer for a sports network in the UK earlier this year and, in 2011 I was involved in my first press conference, After writing for double digit years and being told that I wouldn’t amount to anything when I dropped out of school, things like that are gratifying and vindicating. At least that’s how I feel.
