oh well since you put it that way...yeah I see your point...huh

I mean who would have to read the story to correct it...we already established I'm lazy ( so your arguing a moot point)

what's really the problem?  You sure do put alot of effort into arguments that really miss the point.

I'm not sure if I qualify as an editor but I'm pretty good with spelling and some grammer ( not great tho) and I could give you some input if you can't find anybody else

I established that with my first post..everything after that was you busting my balls for some reason

Never trust someone who calls themselves an editor, claims to be good with spelling, and then willingly types the word "tho" for "though" ANYWHERE.

So... you're too lazy to type "ugh", and you want to spend your time proofreading?  Perhaps you want to consider the amount of work involved in proofreading.  It is rather a lot of work, if done right.

1.  "ROFLMAO" vs. "Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off" = 7 vs. 40 characters, an almost 1:6 ratio.  "Tho" vs. "Though" = 3 vs. 6 characters, a 1:2 ratio.  Massive difference.
2.  More importantly: "ROFLMAO" is an abbreviation.  "Tho" is a misspelling.
3.  No, you would not be "reading" a story.  You would be correcting a story.  The two aren't remotely similar tasks if done properly.

...IF your point was to check my "skills"  why not ask for my credentials?     ...and I'll tell you I have none

...IF you are asking why I think I can do it?  Then ask...it's alot less words    I said I would try...I have never done this before and I told neitherspace that...I would like to try, IF and only if neitherspace can't find someone more qualified ARE YOU SAYING YOU WANT TO ...if so then do it....if not let me try

like I told neitherspace IF I find that I suck at this I'll do better and IF my best isn't good enough then "It's not like he can't go elsewhere"   And I'll know I suck

well you did bring up a good question about trust and ability but just because were talking to neitherspace doesn't meaning you weren't coming down on me for no reason..so no it still doesn't mean I can't read...

...I was simply offering to help someone who was asking for it.....you seem to have a problem with that tho

Net Wolf wrote:

Okay, fine.

Yes, I DO have a problem with someone who can't even proofread their own forum posts(sorry I didn't realize I was back in school being tested right now) offering to proofread a story for someone.  I was offering TO NEITHERSPACE my opinion of your ability to actually improve his writing.  If you don't like the fact that I, as an author, would give my opinion (it is america) to another author on the value of an offer to proofread for them, then you are on the wrong website(Sir in all due respect I come here to read and socialize not pimp my crappy skills).  Let me make this perfectly clear: the contributors will always be my first, second, and third consideration( As they most certainly should be).  The rest of the world comes in somewhere after that.  As such, I will do things that protect the contributors (and potential contributors, since Neitherspace doesn't have an account here) from things that aren't actually helpful to them.  Don't like that?(I never said I didn't like that)  Then don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Net Wolf

Actually Net Wolf... I don't have a problem with you protecting your contributers (or potentials)... I think it very cool of you.

It's too bad more people don't try to protect other's from sorry peices of shit... that said I have in no way been dishonest in the stating of my ability and even pointed out that I'm unskilled... I have said it from the first, I'm not a proofreader or editor... but I can read and I can help until someone better volunteers..


...What's the worse I could do?  WAIT don't answer that it's probably pretty bad     What's the worst permenant damage I could do?

Still my only concern was trying to help someone who asked for it, and I would do that to the best of my limited ability... Sir. (Oh by the way thanks for the corrections to my forum it'll help me learn how to proofread) 

...And would it be presumptious of me to point out that I've never noticed this pub has a door that would hit my ass going in or out...

You have a good day and night, Net Wolf...  Like I said before I just wanted to help.

Ya know...I want to apologize Neitherspace I got so wrapped up in talking to Net Wolf about having a chance to TRY...That I forgot the real point.

The fact that you were looking for an actual editor... Sorry about that, I'm a fuck-up sometimes 

...Are there any qualified volunteers to help Neitherspace?

Since you had a problem with non-skilled proofreaders, Net Wolf, You got a suggestion?

...And I'll shut up now since we all know I'm un-qualified      ...among other things

Um.... Neitherspace?   You should stop dancing now... 

As to a suggestion.  Unfortunately, when I was running EWP and was trying to find qualified proofreaders, not a single person scored higher than 60% on the proofreading test... and it was not a very difficult test.

I don't know how you find qualified proofreaders.  I am a qualified proofreader, but I don't have the time.

Net Wolf

um..Hey Net... If you got a copy handy, like jefferson said, can I get a copy too?

I'd like to see how bad I suck... or don't. 
(for my own knowledge)   

...And neitherspace I'm still willing to proofread also.   I just don't think you should settle, unless nobody better comes along.

Um... could you state your evidence for making this connection, please?

Net Wolf

Yes, Enterprise did write SotP, however, if you visit the first chapter of SotP that he supposedly wrote, it reads as follows: Stone of the Phalanx by Trojan_85 With Enterprise 1701 D".  Which I personally know to be complete bullshit, because Enterprise had no help writing SotP.

Further, E's Yahoo group makes it clear that this moron is NOT Enterprise, but some guy trying to rip content from other people and post it as his own.  I had someone try doing this to me once on SOL.  I'm sure E will take care of it with Lazeez.

Net Wolf

DUDE thats f'd up! SOTP is one of e's best know stories (it's also his first story as far as i know) I apologise when i saw that storie on sol i just assumed....*slinks away silently*

Wonder who wrote the other story...

Siath

Having been following this forum, I went to SOL to see if the story had been removed. The story is STILL THERE as of 6:30Am but the credit now reads:

Stone of the Phalanx
by Enterprise1701 D

With Enterprise 1701 D

Trojan is no longer listed as an author. His account is still active, I assume, and his other story "Avatar" is still listed on the site.

*shrug*  I gather E is a little busy right now with some life changes.  I'm sure he's either satisfied, or will get around to dealing with it soon enough.
