• We will not edit your fanfic if you want it to be in script style.
• We will not edit your fanfic if it contains lemons, romantic scenes that go further than kissing. >.>;
• We reserve the right to drop you like an egg on the asphalt if you become overly demanding.
• Don't be afraid to take your service elsewhere (though we're not sure where you'd go).
• Please read the Articles of Literacy, even if you're getting a Beta. We want you to be a great writer.
• Please, in your fanfiction, talk about the Spotlight. We'd love to have your business.
• Please remember that we have school, possibly jobs, personal issues in our lives (XP), and things just like you do. If we get over-loaded, the chapters might be a little slower getting to you.

Betas are people who edit fanfiction, proofreading or maybe more. Here, we'll give them certain levels. People working under us may not be as advanced.

After: The man walked into his house and ate food before drinking his coffee.

2- These people go more in depth, adding some adjectives and descriptive words, but not much.

So, anyway, I'll start writing this soon.

Edit: I'll be coming back to the Gummi Ship idea later.
However, I have a new one, which I have just finished the first chapter on.
It was originally for a school project; however, I'm going to revamp it to make it more...violent. X3

[Golden_x_Heart]

Wow, this is a really great idea! I think it will really help new authors, or authors who just want some advice.
Being able to get help from more experienced writers will hopefully make the site more literate both in fan fictions and the rest of the forum.
I'd love to help anyway I can! Who would you guys prefer I PM my staff application to?
<3

 

[Mr.]

I'm just rewriting my fanfiction, trying to edit up spots and that stuff.
It's definately not the best, and I think it's not gonna get that many people. DX
Oh, well, gotta try. X3

 

[Who Am I?]

In-ter-rest-in'.

I hardly ever post fanfictions and stuff. I write them down somewhere else, and then keep them to myself. Mwehehehe!

And.. unfortunately, I'm not the best at description; especially when describing a character. *kicks a rock* >.>;;

Aw, well. That's life, I guess. I DON't want to be a member of staff or whatever you call them. Why? 'Cause I simply suck at that kind of stuff.. I'll probably go slop! and fall down some hole in the middle of the street.

So, all I'm going to say is: Godo lukc wiht tihs. =D I mean: Good luck with this.
