I'd love to BETA for you.
Just to make one thing clear though.
When I BETA I [i]never[/i] touch the author's work. I point out the mistakes, and I give tips and advice, but I never edit anything. That's not how you learn. And that way the author can chose for themselves which ones of my tips they want to use. Maybe I'm far off and my advice isn't what they want at all, then they can just chose not to take that one.
Just PM me the finished chapters, and I'll reply with suggestions for changes and with the errors pointed out so you can sort it out yourself. Usually it'd take me only a moment, given that I'm online. All I ask in return is that I'm mentioned (in tiny text if you don't want it to be huge) as a BETA on the summary page. That way other's know that I'm a BETA and they can ask me for help too.
You don't have to take it down because it gets reported, it's there so that you know of the errors and can change and improve your story. :)
Ma'am. It wasn't horrible, it just needs some improving.
I haven't BETA'd for anyone in a long time, but I do from time to time and I've done a lot in the past.
Nah, don't worry about it. You didn't "lash out." I just thought I'd let you know what the deal is, because it HAS been a long time...haha. Thanks again. :]
ok, sounds great!! thanks :)
i have to go now to my boyfriends so...
I'll be back on tonight, hopefully. if not, i'm off tomorrow so I'll talk to you then :)
have fun with the first chapter :)
and the banner. ^_^
ok, off to work i go.
i really am excited about this; ive never co-written with someone like this: i have with my boyfriend and possibly one of my friends (if she comes thru with it)
lol
this is going to be epic!!
ok, i was just about to send something about her age too XD
but i think she should have green eyes cuz ive never met anyone with gray, surprisingly
i was trying to figure it out too lol
but i agree; employer-employee relationships are so overdone.
sooo let's go with the journalist thing and have her accompany him to his job on set and whatnot.
so is Lily Rose and Jack gonna be in this story and are they going to be even born or anything.
and is Vanessa gonna be in it? they aren't married or anything in real life though (as far as I know)
man, i cant wait for this!!!
ok, so we can start whenever. I can work on the layout for the story now, if you like. I have somewhere to be later today so I wont be home.
If you want you can write the first chapter :)
and we need a title XP
should we look for a pic of the girl or no??
since Johnny's 40 something, she should be like 30 something? maybe.
sooo I think she should have brown hair (since we both do)
what color eyes?
we have like the same personality so thats good, she can have that
she can have an average body (not too big or small)
and she can have her ears pierced, Monroe piercing and bellybutton pierced.
cool?
and are you leaning towards any of the story lines yet? Like any ideas for any of them that would sway our decision?? lol
ok, I'll think about about which we should do and you think as well.
Now this will help our character and get to know each other a bit lol
send me ur stuff after this :)
name: Nicole
nickname: Nikki
age: 16
eye color: hazel
hair color: reddish-brown
body: skinny but athletic
piercings: ears and bellybutton
personality: hyper, extrovert, I do what I want and don;t care about repercussions or regrets
any questions?
and you can send this to me and then we can create a character with a mix of us :)
what should we name our girl btw?
I think it should deal with Johnny; not one of his characters.
My friend and I had a story idea but we lost interest. It was about 2 girls that get jobs as secretaries to actors. it was a good idea but we both kinda have different tastes in guys so i had one guy, she had another...
and you and I both love Johnny lol.
so idk if you want to do something like that?
are we both going to have a character that represents us?
should it be a love story?
ugh, this is hurting my brainnnnn xD
or we could have it about one girl that is kinda like both of us? like a mix of our traits?
and another random idea running thru my head is that it could be like a competition for Johnny with all these other chicks.
(I'm totally just throwing out every idea that I have to hopefully find one we both like haha)
but i think first we need to figure out if there's gonna be two girls, if they're both after johnny or someone else, or if they're a mix of us. i think it should be more of a love-ish story but not all mushy and stupid lol.
so I've been watching vids of JD on youtube and I'm thinking more and more about a story.
If you'd like, I'd be happy to possibly start one soon.
But I think we need tro sort out a plot line first
any ideas? cuz idk how to continue the Sweeney Todd story; i had ideas but they were...shall we say, lacking??
