Chryiss I think I'll post a link later after preparing myself and saving up for a paper shredder. My eyes bleed whenever I have to edit my works so I think this event would help me...but it may damage your eyes. I'm too poor to give compensation. <3

    ValKree Eh it’s okay lol! I’m giving out “cheap” freebies because I only have time to hard-edit one chapter of one story. Which story gets chosen, idk. I’ll let the thread sit for a few days and then choose a story when I have several options.

      Chryiss Oh, I think I have an idea! Is it possible to request an edit for a novel I started on another account? Of course, I'll post it with the intended account and I think it'll be super quick if it's chosen.
      The novels are also written by more than one person but we think our grammar is atrocious nonetheless. Each chapter is more than 500 words, but less than 1000.
      Or... maybe I'll just post my favorite one from this account. Average chapters are about 2500 words in length. I'll sleep on it.
      I highly doubt my novel would be picked, but I'll shoot the hoop. Since I couldn't join the review thread, I'm hopping onto this one for sure! Thank you 💙

        No problem for me if you want to have fun on my webnovel to give a public demonstration on how editing can be done. I can take critics. And i would be glad to see first hand how my 1st chapter can be improved.

        Just that it might not be your cup of tea. (Only 2.5% girls reading my story and ML).

        Chapter 1 is 1500words long or something, but some adviced me that it would be better to merge the 1st and 2nd chapter together.

          ValKree Anything is fine! 😊
          If I don’t pick your story, you can take it as an indirect compliment that your grammar isn’t so bad after all. xD

            Arkinslize I don’t care about content when editing, so it’s fine. (: Besides, most of the books I read on here are geared/marked for a “male audience“ according to WN. I enjoy all genres~

              Chryiss Alright! That is also true XD
              I was thinking of giving the first chapter of my favourite one on this account but I already see the 'red' marks all over the page. Excessive use of 'and' which dies down later. So, here is the chapter I would love to have edited as it is the first major event. It would be confusing without previous chapters though so that's another good reason to decline. :D

                YoungOneStories Um, did you read the first post? This isn’t a review. I’m not going to tell you how to improve your story—I’m straight up fixing the grammar and correctness of your writing according to American English rules.

                So I’m not going to be “reading” 13,000 words nor 5 chapters. It’s one chapter of editing. And only one story will be chosen for this.

                  YoungOneStories It’s okay. :) So do you want editing or no? Now that you know what this thread is for, you’re still welcome to it if you want~

                    Wanna work together on this?

                    Ima apply to be a tag-along to whichever story/chapter you choose.

                    My specialties are grinding ink for the brush and refilling cups with water for Editors.

                      Jamison_C If you want lol xD
                      Hahaha, grinding ink, refilling water 😂
                      Never done brush calligraphy in my life~

                        You have been warned.

                        If u repeat it.

                        Ur post will be deleted and u will be blocked for 2 weeks.

                        P.S. I am the System

                          Instead of waiting long, I decided to choose from the stories submitted by this point. Just for funsies, I ranked them by the "best" writing (in terms of grammar, vocabulary, etc).

                          1) yaoyueyi - The absolute best. I cannot believe how amazing this story is! It's perfectly written omg!

                          2) Arkinslize - Good writing that doesn't really need an editor in terms of being on WN (in other words, writers can always edit and revise their stories to be better, but in terms of the writing commonly seen on WN, you sit nice and pretty). Most errors are minor; you just need a second eye at proofreading.

                          3) ValKree - There are a few awkward spots, but all quite minor. You just need a proofreader to catch these; otherwise, your writing is good for WN. (basically the same feedback as for 2 above)

                          4) Nathair_Insint British English isn't a problem as it's pretty close to American with minor differences like toward and towards. Definitely need to proofread as there are more typos (like capitalization) than I'd personally prefer. Grammatically, you're mostly fine. This is a system novel, so the style of writing is fitting for it and thus doesn't necessarily need to be beefed up. An easy to read format is generally what's employed and preferred for it.

                          5) YoungOneStories Even though you misunderstood the thread, since you posted, you're still liable to me picking you. :P While your writing isn't bad by any means, from this tiny batch of stories, I can do more with your novel out them. Thus, I'll chose the first chapter of your story posted.


                          Stay tuned for the post with the chapter one edits~

                            Chryiss Ahhhh thank you so much! I have been told by teachers that essays usually contain awkwardly phrased sentences so I guess the same goes for casual writing. I'm glad you told me as I think I should try proofreading (which I never do. I wish I was kidding). I have a few friends reading my novels and they do catch typos but awkward spots...rare.
                            I'm going to try harder anyway. (o3o) Inserting emojis on this darn PC is too much work...heh

                              ValKree A good method for essays is to read the sentences backwards, meaning read each sentence from the bottom ip and see if it makes sense and connects to the previous/next one. Apparently this helps with comprehension.

                                Chry, what is your discord? It has been ages since I used that- I need a little help. Huehuehue
