Beta, please?

[popkin16]

Is someone willing to beta a one-shot for me? It's sort of long, but what I'm having problems with is my tenses. I'll explain more to the person who agree's to help, because I don't want to give too much away. >_> 

It's a One Piece fanfic (this shouldn't really surprise anybody), and whoever volunteers first will probably be the one I go with.

If anybody agree's, that is.

um. hi? *waves tentative hand* i don't know if i can be of any help, it depends on what sort of beta-ing you need. and the fact that i've never beta'ed anything in my life doesn't help, either. xD

but i'd be glad to help you if i can. :D

[popkin16]

*Glomp*

I just need basic beta'ing, really. All that I ask is you go through and read the one-shot, and fix whatever screw-ups I happen to make. In the fic, I wrote about a past event, and I wasn't sure I was using my past tenses very well.

XD Are you sure you're okay with this? I know you haven't read One Piece yet. How do you want to do this? Send it to you in a message, e-mail it to you...??

:D um ... okay. er. okay. xD I'M GOING TO BE BRAVE HERE AND VENTURE INTO THE UNKNOWN LAND OF SCARY BETA-ING. which is rather ridiculous because i'm from finland and i speak finnish and swedish and lolwhut 'what's english', basically. xDD

nah, but. okay. i can't guarantee you that i'll actually get this right, and i'm sorry if i don't. but i'll give it my best!

hehe, and it's alright that i'm not actually in the fandom yet, since it's only the grammatical part i'll check. besides, i'd read the story anyway (assuming you'd post it here) so, yeah. :D aaaannnnd. oh. i don't know. um. maybe an e-mail? would probably be the easiest way, i suppose. you can e-mail me at lp_scorpion90@hotmail.com :D the lamest name ever, hahfldjlk, but i was what, ten when i made it. XDD

YOU CAN DO IT! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!! a;skdj;s you speak finnish, swedish, and english? YOU ARE MY HERO. I've always wanted to be multi-lingual. But instead, I speak English and a little Spanish. :(

I'm sure you'll do fine. It's not all that hard to beta.

That's true. I was planning on posting it here, yes. E-mail was how I sent my stuff to beta's before, so that works fine for me. Don't worry, my e-mail address is perfectly horrible too. I'm always embarrassed to use it. I'll send it to you tonight! Thanks for doing this! XD

haha, well, i'm bilingual, since both swedish and finnish are official languages here in finland, so, y'know, and we've had english lessons since the fifth grade. xD AND SPANISH I KNOW SOME SPANISH, TOO. only a little, though, since i only had that one course. XDD

kenny makes me think of south park lolwhut. XDD i'll look through it today and get it back to you as soon as i can! :D

[popkin16]

Oh, I see. YOU KNOW SOME SPANISH TOO? *_* I worship the ground you walk on. *Bows head to you*

Kenny's the name of a famous singer. This was back in my days of fangirling real life people, and not manga/anime characters. I replied to your e-mail :) Thanks for doing this!

I know someone else has already volunteered, but I figured I'd offer my services anyway--for this and whatever help you may need in the future--because I'm available and bored out of my mind. XD

[popkin16]

I'll probably agree to have sapphirestar_ beta this, but would you care if I kept you in mind next time I write something? I'll message you and ask if you want to beta before I ask anybody else - but only if you don't mind.

[cuethe-pulse.livejournal.com]

Ah, I don't mind at all. :) Just let me know.

[popkin16]

:D Thank you so much!

[kakairupowns.livejournal.com]

Heya hun <3 I can be a back-up just in case ;)

[popkin16]

Hello!

*Hug* Thanks so much for the offer! I'll definitely keep you in mind. I wasn't sure if you'd be willing to do it, since I know you beta for mr_redrum, and who knows who else, and I didn't want to overload you with things to read over.

[kakairupowns.livejournal.com]

Haha, not a problem sweetie ;) Right now I just beta for her, and I re-read my stories before posting, so that they're readable.

*hugs back* If you want me to read anything over for you, feel free to give me a shout :D I don't mind at all.

[popkin16]

:D Ohh, I see. It doesn't sound as though you're super busy working on people's stuff.

Aw, thank you so much for the offer! XD I'll definitely keep it in mind.

[melisandre013.livejournal.com]

I'd help, but it seems you already have offers.

[popkin16]

Yes. I'm continuously surprised at how kind people are on this site. Every where else I hang out, it seems someone is always fighting at others, and nobody wants to lend a hand for free.

Thank you so much for wanting to help, though! :)

[melisandre013.livejournal.com]

well, the majority of people in the world suck.

[popkin16]

True. Too bad we have to deal with them along with the good people.
