• Do you care about your piece?
  
• Do you consider yourself a craftsman as well as an artist?
  
• Have you completed a short (10 printed pages or less)* Tolkien, Harry Potter, or Inuyasha fanfic?
  
• Would you like another pair of eyes to spot and correct mistakes in spelling, grammar, and format?

If so, please PM me some information about your piece. I'll see what I can do. Because I want to give you my undivided attention, I can only proofread one piece at a time. I'm also giving myself a one-week deadline to read and proofread your work. I do this for two reasons. First, I need the practice. Second, I want to proofread at least 50 pieces this year. If this is something you're interested in, let me know.

*I will also accept a chapter from a larger work as long as the chapter is 10 pages or less. I limit the pages so I can print your fic, which makes it much easier to see and fix errors.

I love to see posts like this, JD! Having a second set of eyes look over your work is never a bad idea. Thank you for volunteering.

If no one leaps at your generous offer, may I suggest trolling? that is to say, if you see a fic posted that needs a proofreader, you might gently offer your services to that author. Sometimes folks are very open to having help, but not always aware that said help is easy to acquire and beneficial to have.

I'll certainly be keeping you in mind next time I have something shortish ready to go.

Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestion. I might just try that.
