My sincere thanks to everyone who volunteered. I'm very grateful for your letters, edits and suggestions. Your feedback is truly appreciated. 


Was looking for: Proofreader (English = native language)

 

I've finished basic writing for my new mod. It's 

- interesting;

- set in the Underdark;

- features Kimmuriel Oblodra, Artemis Entreri cameos and several good bits of Jarlaxle(really good bits, including the hat. I think).

 

Size: it's a little smaller than Assassinations, and it's not traified. The text is easy to read, it's got structure, is well-commented.

 

Since English is my second language, I'd really appreciate a native proofreader, because I want the dialogue to be good, and because I am going to send the lines to the voice actors afterwards. And typos, yep. 

 

It's basic stuff: read the dialogue and point out the typos/weird phrases/something that didn't work for you. (Microsoft Word has a very useful mode for that, by the way - I highly recommend it).

 

If you're interested, I'll need your e-mail address - in this thread or via a private message.

 

No hard deadlines, but if you can do it in two weeks(or less), it's appreciated. More than one person is absolutely fine - perfect, actually.

Does this mean that someone else did the work I was supposed to do? I'm still working on the file you sent me.


Working and playing on a Mac Pro 6,1 running Mac OS X 10.13.6 High Sierra, and a Mac Pro 3,1 running Mac OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan.

- Erysseril Gwaethorien: a joinable, romanceable NPC mod for BGII - SoA/ToB, in sporadic development.

A female elf warrior of nature and a Bhaalspawn cross paths during their quests, joining forces to share adventure and companionship. Will they find more?

Oh, I've closed the thread so that there are no new people applying(since I understand that's the purpose of DONE tag). I've got feedback from two other people, yes, and I'm very grateful for every bit of it. As for the file itself, let's see:.content-wise: I've received many suggestions on the first part of the mod(the part before Artemis Entreri cameos looks much better now), and some suggestions on the second part(I suspect it's much better now, too, but knowing how much I like Russian-like punctuation and extra articles and other such stuff, I'd say I'm not so sure). So your feedback is still very welcome, naturally, there's no doubt about that! Not in my mind, I'm sure.

Fantastic! I'll carry on, then :)
