  1. I've *finalllllly* posted another chapter to this story after a very long bout of writer's block. The plot is getting really really intense. In more ways than one! Please read and review! :3 thank you.
  2. I'm just going to re-iterate much of what others have already said, but thank you for working so hard to get the problem fixed and for keeping us in the loop. This site really does have the feeling of a big family, which is so difficult to find on the interwebs these days---well maybe you could find a site that feels like the family you want to avoid all year until you have to stay in a room with them for the holidays or something at which point you drink heavily. heheh. This is NOT that sort of family. This is the family other families are jealous of!! <3 to the team!!
  3. Hi Olefish! Thanks for your condolences. I giggled a bit when I read your description of your novella. I'd love to check it out. I owe BotecelliAngel my services first, then I will get on to you. Then, the rotation will start up again. I'm doing a chapter or so for everyone at a time in order of who asked me first. I hope that's ok!! Thanks again for being so understanding everyone.
  4. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I totally disappeared for two months! Certainly grieving was part of it, but funeral planning and so much other crap and it's had really sapped my motivation to write or read *anything* So, if you wonderful people still want me to beta for you, I am more than willing now and back actively on the site from my hiatus and have made it through the hardest part of the grief. I think?? My sex drive is back so that has to count for something . TMI LOL. k. *runs off to read*
  5. Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't had time to be a very good beta in a few weeks. My mother passed away from cancer two sundays ago. So, between grieving and trying to catch up on stuff at work from being gone for so long to care for her. . I haven't had any time to help anyone!! But, I am true to my word and want to keep helping you all. So, Hopebringer Jem, Slayitalldown, I will get to you first!! Promise. bottecilliangel, I'd love to help you too. Just give me an idea of what you need. I am back on my 'duties' here and will probably be posting a chapter of my own story on here soon too. . .So i might ask each of you to read my story too . Alright, apologies again!! And please message me if you need anything.
  6. Woohoo!! I'd love to help and I happen to really like Chronicles of Riddick and Supernatural. . .so cool there. I would love to give you some pointers/impressions/anything I can. I love reading the work of others and I'd be happy to offer you any help I can, including any reading recs if I can help. You are very inspiring and I love that you just came right out and told me what you need . I also very much believe in the 'first paragraph first impression' way of reading. So, I'll give you one of those and some more in-depth analysis. Trust me! I enjoy it I have missed really helping people who want to write. . .working in the office environment that I do, I get a lot of err drivel and horrible sentences that really say nothing at all. (Can't tell you how many times I've wanted to say, "ok, delete the entire first page" to a supervisor because the writing was just fluff and couldn't because welp, the business world is a lot of smiling and nodding.) But, I digress. I don't care what you say, I can tell from your request's prose already that you've got some fire!!! P.S. Don't be discouraged if you don't see a response from me until Sunday-ish. I will get to it and I am super interested. . .just have some crap to do for a few days!!
  7. Well, seems like a few more people have read my story. But, alas, no actual reviews yet. *cries.* I am a big baby after all and need at least one review. Pretty please? Please? I need the motivation to post another chapter. :/
  8. Updated the Summary to hopefully make it more appealing :/ Summary: NaruSaku embark on a mission alone for the first time in years. LEMONS; how much longer can Naruto be bottled up? With Kyuubi adding to the mix, he's liable to erupt. . .
  9. Welp. I have to say that I like it here. I am a sarcastic, snarky, and a dirty little dork who enjoys reading and writing. Although I tend to be hyper-critical of my own work, which of course results in me not being as quick at producing as I would like. Also, there is so much wonderful, gushy, sticky, reading goodness on the site that I will be lost here for months. O_O. I'm up for Beta-ing for people (I've posted in the willing to beta section for those who need it), for making my writing process less like molasses going up hill in January. . .so I don't continue to be my own biggest cock blocker---har har--and to hopefully make as many people laugh as possible given that they can't see me dancing like a moron via the forumz. yupp. *waves* Life's too short for haterade.
  10. Author: ClumsyPinkTiger Title: The Truth in Dreams Summary: NaruSaku embark on a mission alone for the first time in years. LEMONS, Jiraiya (Ero-Sennin!), and the Kyuubi are involved. Will it be ridiculous, destructive, or smexy? Feedback: I'd love reviews, ratings, anything you can give!! I have a couple ratings now, but want more. I have thick skin; I just need some constructive criticism and I need to know someone is reading it even if only so I can become a better writer. Fandom: Naruto (mainly follows the Anime's Cannon, but the time between events is stretched and some events are altered. The main effect is that the characters are a bit older than they otherwise would be at this point in the canon; Naruto himself is 19/20) Pairing: Primarily NARUSAKU, also SHIKATEMA, and GAAINO, references to Jiraiya and Tsunade Warnings: AFFO, Fingering, HJ, Oral, Solo, UST, Violence, Voy, WAFF, WD, WIP URL: http://naruto.adultf...hp?no=600104383 The story is currently in progress, but I won't lie, my writer's block plagues me more when I think no one is reading what I write. I don't need my readership to love it, I just need to have a readership. I enjoy writing it for myself, but why share if no one is reading it? Perhaps that's juvenile, but I am in love with Naruto DATTEBAYO. I kept the summary fairly short and non-descript. It's also very modest. Now, that I have a chance to shamelessly self-plug the story here, I'll brag a bit. Yes, you can expect some of the typical Naruto idiocy, fun, and character patterns. Yes, the Kyuubi interferes with Naruto's sexual desires. Yes, there is some extreme sexual tension and a big release. But, what you won't expect is the original 'legend' I come up with to explain the situation--inspired by Naruto with all due credit for the inspiration to Kishimoto. Also, I should say, that I am in no way against other pairings for my beloved Naruto. As long as he is happy and gettin' some (eventually) I could care less. For now READ READ!!! NOWNOWNOW! COME ON DOWN TO THE TRUTH IN DREAMS BRING YOUR EYES. BRING YOUR MOUSE. BRING SOME TISSUES. 'CAUSE SHIT WILL GET REALLLLLLL. Sorry, that was horrible. But hopefully it made someone laugh. Now, a brief quote from Chapter 7:
  11. Hi again Hopebringer! . I took a quick look at your work and I'd love to help. Although, I should say, that I have not seen or read Weiss Kreuz, and am only mildly familiar with D&D; Star Wars, of course, I am quite familiar with. I would expect you to be concerned if I weren't. That said, I won't be able to help you as much with the content as I could if I were more familiar with the canon for Weiss Kreuz and the canon for D&D. With the glory of the internet, of course, I can garner enough information to get me going. As long as that is OK with you, I'm ready to help. So my next question for you is what sort of revision/editing help are you really looking for? I intend to help with everything, but if there must be something you are concerned about or you wouldn't be asking Do you feel you need a little bit of everything or are you learning more towards content/cohesion from plot points or sentence structure and word choice? Don't feel like you have to answer this right now---or in the forum; we can discuss it more later if you'd like. Just want to get a good idea of what to focus on.
  12. Hi Hopebringer! I am very flexible and would love to help you :D . YAY! (I should also say that I am very excitable too--if you can't tell). In terms of my work load, I do have a full-time job and a husband/friends I like being with, so I don't want to overload myself. But, I am also a speed reader; I was kind of forced to be because of teaching English Comp. So, on the one hand I want to make sure I give each of the author's I beta for an ample and fair amount of time, i.e. I'd read the stories multiple times--backwards, forwards, out loud, etc. I don't want to be in a situation where I have to shortchange one of the author's works and unfortunately, I don't think I can really say 'how much' until I see who comes to me first, etc. Other than that, I'm pretty open!!!
  13. blech it's hot outside

  14. Hello, hello! I realize that my newness to the forum and the site might act as a deterrent for some of you, but I'm interested in getting my feet wet here, helping fellow writers, and getting to know more of the folks that lurk about on the site in the process . In terms of qualifications: -I have a Master's Degree in English from the University of Maryland. For those who are interested, I wrote my master's thesis on The Lord of the Rings. My areas of focus for my course of study were myth literature, digital humanities (video games as texts), and American Literature. I also have a very strong grounding in Le Shakespeare. -I taught English Composition and creative writing to College freshman for two years. So, I can help you with everything from tense shifts to comma splices, to cohesion, all while kicking your ass and telling you to read the assignment sheets carefully. Kidding, kidding. Since then I've been dealing with business and technical writing, which is sufficiently more dull than freshman composition/creative writing. Somehow, when people get older and enter the work force complacency and crummy writing sets in. GRRR passive voice!!!! In terms of my writing style, I've been through the upper-snotty-echelon of graduate level English and obviously know how to edit and assist with revision. Personally, however, I really enjoy juxtaposing unexpected and deliberately incorrect phrasings with high-brow language. For instance, statements like "that's some paradoxical shit, yo," and "hey bro, lay off the infinite recessions" would meet my aforementioned criteria. Now, the trick is to never over use this. Well, in any case, I do have an unfinished story posted at the moment. So, feel free to check that out. Needless to say I *know* there are still some mistakes that linger in the story, but it will give you a good sense of my fiction style. Now that I've thoroughly vetted out how large of a monocle I have, (imagine a pompous mock-english accent there), please don't be threatened by me! I am very approachable and love helping others and have a very dark and sarcastic sense of humor. In general, I am a glutton for Naruto, Samurai Champloo, Final Fantasy, and Inuyasha fan fictions and would prefer in the case of those sorts of works if you run the anime/manga/show by me first to make sure I have at least some knowledge of the characters before I beta for you. I just want to make sure I have enough of a background to be helpful. In the case of original work, I am fairly open-minded. I also should say, that content wise, I tend to be opinionated. In other words, if I feel as though a rape scene is in the story just for the sake of being there and does nothing to help with its development, I will say so. If you can't handle that, steer away from me!! Otherwise, ask away . -ClumsyPinkTiger
