Ofcourse I am interested..! But I'm no native speaker, plus I only have internet via iphone at the moment.. so I didn't apply (I assume you are talking about the proofreading here, I didn't click the link!)
yeah you were right, it was about that reques I made. Maybe I should lower my standards, but there are so many americans / english speaking people on my friendslist, so I'm hoping one of them wants to volunteer. :/
Nice one! And a good exercise, no doubt. Maybe I should give it a shot too, even though I don't really have a character of my own... :P
I guess I can't really help you with the English language and I doubt if I'm harsh enough a critic to give you proper pointers. But I'm damn curious what you've come up so far, so if you just wanna share it, I'm more than willing to look into it. :)
You should! Its kinda sloppy what I did, but it's a good practice for any drawings on drawing out the emotions (though I'm not so keen on her choice, some are missing)
Yes I know, but it's not about the language itself, but also the little subtle parts of inside knowledge that I need to know/verify. It's hard to rely on my memory alone.
Speaking of which, I've read your story and wrote some bits of what I thought about it already. But I can already assure you already its very positive. Will tell you more about it later.
I'd happily proof read your comics, but as an Aussie I spell in proper English not American English, so I'm not sure if I'm much help... I could always run it through an american spelling programme to pick up any issues, though! ^^
even for some simple spell checking, that would be tremendously helpful of you if you want to! :) Still, it's not just the american english, but mostly about the american daily life and views. I have experienced it for only a short time, but I feel that I need some verifications for some things.
Say if I'm writing a story and some chapters are situated in an Australian school, and I base my info on watching Neighbours and Heartbreak High, it probably will be very skewed.
There's a bit of aussie talk for a chapter I have in mind though, but not too much. :P
Hehe, yes, I see your problem! ^^ You'll need an American for those bits. However, if they don't feel like doing basic proof-reading for you, I'd be more than happy to do that! I did that for a job for a year, after all :)
