The spoilers section on the submission form has "Order of the Pheonix" spelled that way. *winces* All of a sudden, I could see every grammatical mistake on the submission guidelines... it's horrible. Why can't I do this for myself? Any of you modly types - can you fix this so I don't have to cringe when I submit chapters ( Read more... )

Would anyone like to do style betaing?

*sticks head in around the door* If you'll have me. *winning smile*

Umm, oops? (And no, it's not my fault, but I'm fixing it anyway.)

What grammar mistakes were there in the submission guidelines?

You must be 13 years or over and a registered users of FictionAlley.

There's also an odd choice of bolding:

You may combine at most two chapters of your fic - shouldn't it be "at most" bolded?

Any chapter or fic ,including but not limited to songfics

Would anyone like to do style betaing? I'm looking for somebody who will tell me to rewrite sentences and paragraphs, poke at my similes and dialogue,

*raises hand cautiously* I'd love to, Eva, darling-- that is, if you want me. I'm really a nice person, honest! And I won't poke too hard.

Poke as hard as you want. Just don't throw in incredulous comments on my stupidity. :)

Will send it you when I (hopefully) finish it.

*grins* You don't write stupidly, so there will be no need for that at all :) Look forward to you finishing it-- it sounds interesting. But I know how weird and annoying inspiration can be *shakes fists at muses*. I'm just glad I managed to finish the Remix fic!

<3you.

I can do a style betaing for you--but I'm more of a person who works on flow with sentences, formation of words, syllables in words, what should go where and how it should sound. And I've only read chapter one of bad faith so that's really my bad because I've got so much free time I'm just procrastinating.

So yeah. If you want me to do a flow/style betaing for you, I'm here! <3

Thanks for the offer! :D I've already got two other people, plus my regular beta going over it, though - can I take you up on your offer if I ever need it?
