Need Some Help? « Thread Started on Mar 5, 2007, 9:45pm »
Wow, I'm the first to post here!
Well, if you need an editor, look no further. Not only am I a professional editor (well, not really, but I am in school to BECOME one and my grades are high), but I also love to beta-read!
I pretty much live on-line, so you'll get your story back fairly quickly (once again determining on my workload and everything) and I can guarantee that you'll be happy with it.
If you're interested, just email me at kielianpup@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

oooh!^^ thanks for offering your services!^^
I'm half english/half dutch (live in holland, but actually better at the english languages)
Seeing as I'm trying to become uberperfect in english, I'll beta my own work, but! if I have a question I'll come to you!^^ I love language, especially english language *_*
So, do you beta in american english or british english? (not that there's much difference, just stuff like colour as opposed to color and stuff ^^)

Actually, it depends on the author... like if I see that it's in british-english then I edit in british-english... my mother has a really good British friend who's my godmother, so I got to learn all that stuff early. For a while when I was a kid I even had a British accent! Yeah, but normally I'll edit in American english.
You like English? Cool! I don't... well, not really. I'm trying to learn Japanese. My mother's always like, "Why can't you speak English?!" because sometimes I'll slip around her and end a sentence in 'nee?' or use random Japanese while talking to my brother... o_o;
If you have a question, of course ask me!! I love helping other people with stuff like that!
By the way, your signature pic is awesome... I have to get another sig eventually. It used to be a picture of a crazed anime kid with "I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy <i>every minute</i> of it!" in the background, but I lost it with the rest of my junk when my computer crashed... ^^;;
And yeah, that's a real shirt over here. (I made Kaoru wear it in Chapter Five). Bye!

I myself prefer british over american english. Dunno why, but I like the words Blonde and Colour with the extra e/u XD
I LOVE english language. I think, write and do everything in english, the only diff is that I have to speak dutch cause I live in holland. But even my dutch speech is riddled with english words or crooked sentences cause in my head I translate from english to what I want to say in dutch XD (this habit only picked up after I left high school and began reading/writing fics for real, making me focus more on english instead of dutch ^^;;; )
And thanks!^^ I think Chenka or Juliet (both dutch jrockfans) made this for me at another forum, cant' remember who it was though XD I love it, and didn't have anything else for now, so yeah XD
If I was any good at photoshop I'd make you a banner, but I sadly suck so much at stuff like that XDDD
