Hi there.
I really need a beta work for my stories because I'm bored of getting warnings from the forum that is telling me to try to find beta testing and all the blabla stuff. (Sorry, it's just to show how I'm bored without using the strong language.) I have one story for the alternate universe called Sauron's Chronicle: The Eclipse, the others are Alone Facing The Apocalype Book One: The Dark Alliance, The Wanted Ship, Bound To Darkness and The Worst Demons' Nightmare Comes True!. I would like a very good beta job from all of these stories. For any guys that are interested, pm me, please, it will be very appreciated because I'm very desperate and I'm going to become crazy if it continues. (Other apologies, it's how I describe the best my feelings for the moment again without the strong language.) Oh please, please, I would like a beta reading. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: This post has been moved by the admins as it hijacked someone else's request for a beta.

We tried to deal with this in private but since you seem to be keen to bring it center stage, let's.

You're bored? How about we're bored as readers to have to put up with a fanfic author that can't even be bothered to re-read her own work to get rid of the easy mistakes like typos and such? Of a writer that can't even take the time to run a spell-checker on her work or get it beta'd before posting it to the archive?

How about we're bored as admins to have to remind you of that? It's in the guidelines. We didn't put it there so you could ignore it while every other writer onboard takes the time and care to abide by it.

And may we suggest that maybe you're struggling to find beta-readers to help you because you don't seem keen on helping yourself or to care any which way as long as the stories are up? Change your attitude. Nobody owes you a thing.

I understand that English is your second language but that doesn't change Open Scrolls' policies in regards to the stories archived here.

Hope this post wasn't too boring for you.

do.

Outch... that was a bit rude. Sorry, I was simply just didn't watching at what was happening here (having forgot to log off and was busy elsewhere other) but it's ok. I have taken from the site almost all my stories from OSA. I recnize what I told but I am trying to correct things by myself. I am working on it but I will need help at a certain point. I have let my most older stories on the site. One of them had been put into MS Word. This one is «The Wanted Ship». I have spent a whole day to try to correct things with my spell-checker. All the eight chapters had been checked by this into every details. I am going to do it with my other ones, having taken them into separate files on MS word either. All my apologies for what I have written into my last post. I was just a little bit too much frustrated. I hope that everything will be alright again. All my apologies, I'm sometimes a bit too explicite for what concerns my emotions. I didn't wanted to create any harm to myself.

Having posted that text before having respond to private side.
